Use this skill when a system security plan has to be written, rebuilt or brought up to date before an assessment, and someone asks "write the SSP", "draft control implementation statements", "our SSP just repeats the controls", "what is inherited from the cloud provider", "fill in the customer responsibilities", "get the SSP ready for the assessor" or "which statements can we actually prove". Drafts one implementation statement per control id from the reader's own policies, configurations and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Use this to write or update the plan. You get three files in a new folder, `./ssp-control-implementation-statements/`: the statements, one section per control id (`statements.md`); a spreadsheet with origination, status, parameters, evidence path and owner role per control (`statement-index.csv`); and open items per owner, unproven claims first (`open-items.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. The system owner owns the plan; the authorizing official or assessor judges it.

End `statements.md` with `## Not checked`: what this run did not read or could not open, what it assumed and what it did not verify, specific to this run. Then add a blank `## Review record` for the approver: reviewer role and competence basis, items sampled and the source each was traced to, what was changed or rejected, one item the draft did not flag and what checking it showed, decision, date and draft version reviewed. It names the version of `statement-index.csv` it covers.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/ssp-control-implementation-statements@sha256:3efe4deffa68bed6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.ba77cda, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
