AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
RAI Planner provides a modular framework for managing Responsible AI assessments. It uses a phased approach—ranging from initial capture and risk classification to impact assessment and final backlog handoff—to guide an agent through the lifecycle of an RAI review. By utilizing on-demand reference files, the skill ensures the agent maintains a compact state while accessing specific guidance, templates, and rubrics only when required for the current phase of the project.
What it does
- Defines a formal identity and protocol for RAI assessment sessions.
- Provides phase-specific guidance for scoping, risk classification, and impact assessment.
- Supports the creation of Mural boards for collaborative team planning.
- Includes a review rubric to ensure assessment quality before backlog generation.
- Facilitates the generation of structured handoff summaries and work items.
- Maintains session state and evidence registers across multiple project phases.
When to use it
- At the start of any session to establish the RAI Planner identity and protocol.
- When transitioning between project phases to load relevant coaching and assessment logic.
- When performing risk classification to apply prohibited-use gates and depth-tier logic.
- When conducting an impact assessment to build evidence registers and tradeoff logs.
- When finalizing an assessment to generate a structured backlog handoff.
Advantages
- Modular design keeps the agent's active context compact and efficient.
- Ensures consistent application of RAI standards across different projects.
- Provides clear exit criteria for each phase of the assessment.
- Supports evidence-led, exploratory questioning techniques.
- Standardizes the final output format for downstream review and implementation.
Usage examples
- “Start a new RAI assessment for our customer support chatbot.”
- The agent adopts the RAI Planner identity, loads the session start protocol, and begins Phase 1 by asking about the system's purpose and deployment model.
- “We have finished the initial scoping. What is next?”
- The agent recognizes the transition to Phase 2, loads the risk classification reference, and begins applying the prohibited-use gate and indicator assessment.
- “Can we create a Mural board for this project?”
- The agent loads the Mural bootstrap reference and offers to set up a collaborative board to visualize the current risk assessment.
- “Generate the final handoff for the project.”
- The agent enters Phase 6, applies the review rubric to the collected evidence, and produces a structured summary table of all project artifacts.

RAI Planner
Overview
Use this skill as an on-demand reference pack for the RAI Planner. The main skill body stays compact, and the detailed phase guidance lives in the reference files under this folder so the agent can load only the material needed for the current phase.
Phase Reference Index
Session start — Planner identity: rai-identity.md — read this at the start of every session. It holds the RAI identity, the disclaimer and attribution protocol, the six-phase definitions, entry modes, state management, question cadence, resume protocol, error handling, the user-supplied reference content protocol, and the research activation contract.
Phase 1 — Capture and scoping: capture-coaching.md — read this when entering Phase 1 and again during capture turns when you need the exploration-first questioning techniques.
Phase 2 — Risk classification: risk-classification.md — read this when entering Phase 2 to apply the prohibited-use gate, indicator assessment, and depth-tier logic.
Phase 2 (optional) — Mural team board: mural-board-bootstrap.md — read this only when the user accepts the Phase 2 board offer or asks for a Mural board, and before any
muralcommand.Phase 5 — Impact assessment: impact-assessment.md — read this when entering Phase 5 to build the evidence register, tradeoff log, and work-item seeds.
Phase 6 — Review rubric and backlog handoff: backlog-handoff.md — read this when entering Phase 6 to run the review rubric and generate the final handoff summary.
Usage Notes
Read
rai-identity.mdat session start. Load the phase references on demand at phase boundaries rather than as fixed startup context.Use the referenced file that matches the phase you are about to enter or the section you need to re-open during execution.
Keep the detailed rubric, templates, and evidence guidance in the reference files rather than in the main skill body.
