Update SSP From Evidence

Update SSP From Evidence is a command for Claude Code from oscal-compass-lab/compliance-trestle-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent-led workflow for updating an existing OSCAL System Security Plan (SSP), which documents how a system meets security controls, using new evidence, findings, or POA&M data. It keeps a map showing which source supports each update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add evidence to the source map, update SSP content, rebuild a review queue for uncertain items, and validate the OSCAL package.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing source references or treating incomplete evidence as confirmed information when maintaining a security plan.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node plugins/document-transform/oscal-document-workbench/scripts/summarize-source-map.js <workspace>/extracted/source-map.csv.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Update SSP From Evidence scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/oscal-document-workbench:update-ssp-from-evidence

Use new evidence, findings, or POA&M information to update an existing OSCAL SSP. Keep source traceability. This is an agent-led workflow. This is not a one-shot converter.

How to run

  1. Summarize the current source map:
node plugins/document-transform/oscal-document-workbench/scripts/summarize-source-map.js <workspace>/extracted/source-map.csv

Exit 3 means needs_review rows remain. That is expected until review is complete.

  1. Add or update source-map rows for the new evidence. Keep source hashes, targets, and needs_review where the evidence is incomplete.
  2. Update the SSP through the Trestle authoring roundtrip when possible. If a direct JSON edit is required, validate afterward.
  3. Rebuild the review queue:
bash plugins/document-transform/oscal-document-workbench/scripts/build-review-queue.sh \
  <workspace>/extracted/source-map.csv \
  --output <workspace>/reports/review-queue.md
  1. Validate:
bash plugins/document-transform/oscal-document-workbench/scripts/validate-oscal-package.sh \
  <workspace>/trestle-workspace \
  --output <workspace>/reports/validation-report.json

Arguments

  • <workspace> : import workspace with extracted/, trestle-workspace/, and reports/
  • <source-map.csv> : current source traceability map

Outputs

  • updated source-map.csv
  • updated SSP model or markdown
  • reports/review-queue.md
  • reports/validation-report.json

Exit codes

  • 0 : summary has no needs_review rows
  • 2 : bad arguments or unreadable input
  • 3 : needs_review rows remain or validation failed
  • 5 : required external dependency is missing

Safety notes

  • Keep source files unchanged.
  • Maintain source traceability for every mapped OSCAL field.
  • Mark uncertain mappings as needs_review.
  • Do not treat structural validation as an audit opinion.
  • Do not commit sensitive customer evidence or real SSPs.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
