regulatory-impact-analysis
Produce a regulatory impact analysis (RIA) weighing the costs, benefits, and alternatives of a proposed rule. Use when asked to assess a regulation's impact, do a cost-benefit analysis of a policy, justify a rulemaking, or compare regulatory options. Produces a structured RIA: the problem and rationale, options including the baseline, costs vs. benefits, distributional effects, and a reasoned recommendation.

# Regulatory Impact Analysis Skill Before a rule is made, good practice (and often law) requires showing it's justified: what problem it solves, what it costs, what it delivers, and whether a lighter option would do better. This skill produces a structured **RIA** — honest about uncertainty, comparing real alternatives against the do-nothing baseline. > Educational analytical aid. A formal RIA must follow the jurisdiction's guidance (e.g. US OMB Circular A-4, > UK Better Regulation Framework) and use validated data — treat this as a rigorous first draft, not an official filing. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided: - **The proposed rule & problem** — what's proposed and the market failure / risk / harm it addresses. - **Options** — the realistic alternatives (including status quo / non-regulatory approaches), or ask the skill to develop them. - **Impacts & data** — expected costs (compliance, admin, indirect) and benefits (safety, health, efficiency), who bears them, any figures available. - **Timeframe & discounting** — the horizon and any required discount rate. ## Output Format ### Regulatory Impact Analysis: [rule] **1.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill regulatory-impact-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
