Vendor Risk Review with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for vendor risk review in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Procurement and security teams
The problem
Procurement and security teams need vendor risk review to run repeatedly against vendor docs, SOC reports, DPAs, and questionnaire answers. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach vendor docs, SOC reports, DPAs, and questionnaire answers per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For vendor risk review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run vendor risk review using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "vendor_risk_review".
Run this on Argo
