Exceptions Register
Maintain a defensible register of accepted residual risks and control exceptions that persists in a local file, so an auditor, a regulator or a board can be shown what the organisation knowingly accepted, on what basis, who approved it, and whether that reasoning is still valid. Records two object types with one lifecycle — acceptances and exceptions with their compensating controls — and refuses any record missing an approver, a justification or a re-validation date. Re-validation is recorded as an act with a rationale, never a timer reset. Derives current, due, overdue and expired status from the dates, exports the active inventory as the CSV or JSON evidence artifact a DORA or NYDFS reviewer asks for, and produces a board section whose language comes from ciso-board-translation. Use when asked to log or approve an exception or waiver, record a risk acceptance with its approver and expiry, run a re-validation review, list what is overdue for re-validation, or produce the risk-acceptance inventory. Accepted risks already in a risk register are fed in one-way with that skill's export-acceptances; this skill is the system of record for the lifecycle, and the register does not duplicate it.

From the source SKILL.md
A system of record for every time the organisation knowingly accepts a residual risk or grants an exception to a control or standard. It answers the two questions an auditor actually asks: "on what basis did you accept this, who approved it, and is that reasoning still valid?" and "where are you deviating from your own standards, what compensates, and who signed off?"
What this skill does
Exceptions Register is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the translation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/exceptions-register/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to log or approve an exception or waiver, record a risk acceptance with its approver and expiry, run a re-validation review, list what is overdue for re-validation, or produce the risk-acceptance inventory. Accepted risks already in a risk register are fed in one-way with that skill's export-acceptances; this skill is the system of record for the lifecycle, and the register does not duplicate it.
