  • Mitigation plans
  • Escalation owners

Example prompts

  • “/risk-playbooks”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Product & Reliability – feature readiness, bugs, infrastructure load, rollback paths.
  2. Go-to-Market – messaging accuracy, asset approvals, channel readiness, partner alignment.
  3. Compliance & Legal – policy reviews, privacy terms, licensing, regional constraints.
  4. Support & Success – staffing levels, escalation handoffs, enablement coverage.
  5. External Factors – competitor moves, macro events, press sentiment, supply chain.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78e0419. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Risk Playbooks loads about 419 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~419

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Launch Risk Playbooks Skill

When to Use

  • Pre-launch risk assessments and go/no-go criteria.
  • During launch week to monitor escalations and coordinate mitigations.
  • Post-launch retros to capture lessons and update future playbooks.

Framework

Launch risk governance combines categorical coverage with a repeatable execution cadence. Use the following building blocks to keep Tier 1+ launches on track.

Risk Categories
  1. Product & Reliability – feature readiness, bugs, infrastructure load, rollback paths.
  2. Go-to-Market – messaging accuracy, asset approvals, channel readiness, partner alignment.
  3. Compliance & Legal – policy reviews, privacy terms, licensing, regional constraints.
  4. Support & Success – staffing levels, escalation handoffs, enablement coverage.
  5. External Factors – competitor moves, macro events, press sentiment, supply chain.
Execution Process
  1. Identify risks w/ likelihood + impact scoring.
  2. Assign owners, mitigation steps, triggers, fallback actions.
  3. Maintain real-time risk log during war-room standups.
  4. Capture resolution notes + update future tiering guidelines.

Templates

  • Risk register (description, likelihood, impact, owner, mitigation, status).
  • Escalation playbook (trigger, communication plan, action tree).
  • Lessons learned tracker feeding future launches.

Tips

  • Pre-populate risk banks per tier to accelerate planning.
  • Tie mitigations to instrumentation/alerts to catch issues early.
  • Share summaries with execs daily during Tier 1 launches.
