Use this skill when assessment findings, scan results or self-assessment gaps have to become a plan of action and milestones, or the current one is a list nobody updates, and someone asks "draft the POA&M", "turn the assessment findings into a plan", "put the scan results on the POA&M", "which POA&M items are overdue", "our milestones just say ongoing", "prepare the POA&M for the authorizing official" or "plan of action for the gaps from our self-assessment".

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 after an assessment, scan or self-assessment, and at every plan review. You get three files in a new folder, `./poam-first-draft/`: a spreadsheet with one row per weakness, its milestones and status (`poam.csv`); a review note of vague, overdue, slipped and unowned items (`poam-review.md`); and the decisions only an official can take (`decisions.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. Risk acceptance, adjustment, false positive and closure decisions stay with the authorizing official or the official the organization names. End `poam-review.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. `poam-review.md` is the review companion of `poam.csv` and travels with it; the Review record names `poam.csv` and the version or date approved. ## Inputs to gather …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/poam-first-draft@sha256:705d55b77848c7d4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.690016c, 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.
