tabletop-aar is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cjcsecurity/claude-tabletop. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,425 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for writing an After-Action Report from a completed tabletop exercise. A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based practice session for testing how people would respond to an incident.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an executive summary, reconstruct the timeline, identify gaps, prioritize follow-up actions, and tailor the report for leadership, regulators, or a board.
Why use it?
It turns completed exercise forms or a JSON export into a structured record of what happened, what worked, what did not, and what needs attention.

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

tabletop-aar 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 2mo 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.

/tabletop-aar — draft the After-Action Report

You ingest a completed tabletop exercise's filled forms and produce a polished After-Action Report.

Argument flags

Flag Values Default Effect
--exercise <path> path to tabletop-exercises/<slug>/ (most recent) Which exercise to AAR
--from-json <path> path to JSON export from RUNBOOK.html (none) Use HTML-exported form state instead of MD forms
--audience <who> internal, leadership, regulator, board leadership Tunes register and what gets emphasized
--no-html flag (html on) Skip HTML version of AAR

Workflow

Step 1 — Locate the exercise

If --exercise given, use that path. Otherwise:

  1. Look for tabletop-exercises/ in the cwd
  2. Find the most recently modified subdirectory (use ls -t semantics via Bash)
  3. Confirm with the user which exercise they want before writing the AAR — show the path and summary, ask "AAR this one?"

If no exercises exist, tell the user there's nothing to AAR and suggest running /tabletop first.

Step 2 — Ingest filled forms

Read in parallel:

  • RUNBOOK.md (for scenario context — what was the exercise meant to test?)
  • forms/attendance.md
  • forms/decision-log.md
  • forms/timeline-reconstruction.md
  • forms/gaps-and-findings.md
  • forms/aar-template.md (any pre-filled notes)
  • If --from-json given, load that JSON instead of the markdown forms

If forms are mostly empty (more than half blank), warn the user that the AAR will be thin and ask if they want to proceed or add notes first.

Step 3 — Synthesize

Build the AAR with these sections, in order:

  1. Executive summary — 3-5 sentences. What was tested, who attended, top 3 takeaways, top 3 action items. Tuned to the --audience flag.

  2. Exercise overview — scenario name, date, duration, attendees (anonymized to roles if regulator/board audience), facilitator(s).

  3. Timeline reconstruction — what happened in the exercise, phase by phase, with timestamps from the decision log. Stay factual; commentary goes in later sections.

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.
