Launch RiskStitch v0.1.0

[envokeME]

What this adds

RiskStitch v0.1.0 is an independent, Fabric-compatible GRC pattern system for producing evidence-disciplined drafts that accountable humans review and approve.

This pull request adds:

• 28 GRC patterns across risk, controls, third-party risk, audit and compliance, AI governance and privacy, resilience, and executive communication
• all 28 patterns available in v0.1.0, with a nine-pattern recommended starting path for onboarding and focused evaluation
• a shared evidence-state contract covering FACT, SOURCE-DERIVED, INFERENCE, ASSUMPTION, and UNKNOWN
• explicit human-review gates and protected-decision boundaries
• structured pattern specifications and deterministic rendering
• a machine-readable catalog and three JSON schemas
• three sanitized worked examples
• an end-to-end user objective → source → pattern → prompt → output → review walkthrough
• explicit usage instructions for Fabric, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and other compatible interfaces
• Unix and PowerShell Fabric installers
• a plain-English GRC field guide
• an honest related-project comparison
• repository validation, contribution, security, safety, model-testing, and launch-evaluation documentation
• the original 1280×640 RiskStitch README and social-preview image
• a roadmap and compact repository map

Positioning

RiskStitch is inspired by Fabric and specializes the pattern concept for GRC. It does not claim to be the first GRC prompt library.

Its intended contribution is the engineering and evidence layer: Fabric compatibility, consistent evidence states, source traceability, missing-data behavior, deterministic generation, validation, and retained human authority.

Primary LifeOS domain: risk.engineer.

Ahmed thought leadership is a separate future distribution layer. This pull request does not publish LinkedIn content or merge RiskStitch into Battle Risk or the GRC Engineering community.

Validation

The original local release candidate 1a8d9ec was verified before upload:

• python3 tools/render_patterns.py --check
• 28 generated patterns matched their specifications
• 11 unit tests passed
• Markdown relative links resolved
• installer smoke test copied all 28 patterns
• repository asset check passed
• README image visually inspected at 1280×640
• repository remained free of known client material, secrets, and proprietary standards text

Launch-readiness documentation was added through branch head c1a233a001d2c53a03dee0f2253b07086edd2d19. GitHub Actions validation is required again on the updated head.

Evaluation boundary

All 28 patterns remain EXPERIMENTAL.

All 28 patterns ship in v0.1.0. Nine are labeled only as the recommended starting path, not as a validation tier or release limit. Three patterns have worked examples. Provider-neutral behavioral validation has not been completed and is explicitly documented in docs/launch-evaluation.md.

Structural validation does not prove prompt quality.

Safety boundaries

RiskStitch does not certify compliance, issue audit opinions, determine legal applicability, approve vendors, close findings, accept risk, or replace qualified practitioners.

Review focus

• evidence-state behavior
• framework and legal boundaries
• full 28-pattern release coverage and recommended starting-path boundaries
• output contracts
• installation and interface instructions
• prompt-to-pattern-to-output walkthrough
• examples and educational clarity
• related-project positioning
• license and attribution
• image and README rendering

Repository visibility remains private during review. The pull request remains a draft.
