In `@plugins/frameworks/nist-800-53/commands/evidence-checklist.md`:
- Around line 492-495: Update the privileged-account inventory method to return
base AC-2 evidence for the Low baseline instead of exiting early, while
retaining the Moderate+ restriction only for dedicated privileged-account
review. In run(), gate credential-report generation and parsing before invoking
_credential_report() so Low skips that Moderate-only collection and
inactive_accounts() is not reached with unnecessary data.
- Around line 405-417: Update the evidence collector’s __init__ and _write
methods to enforce restrictive permissions: create or normalize self.out_dir to
0700, and create or normalize each evidence JSON file to 0600, including when
the directory or file already exists.
- Around line 433-456: Update _credential_report() to persist the decoded raw
IAM credential report as the documented credential-report-*.csv artifact before
parsing it with csv.DictReader. Add or reuse a nearby _write_csv() helper
alongside _write(), preserving the source CSV format and existing parsed-row
return behavior.
- Around line 482-515: Expand privileged_inventory and the account_inventory
evidence flow to include IAM roles and group inline policies, using paginated
collection. Inspect each role’s attached and inline policies and each group’s
inline policies alongside the existing user checks, and include detected
principals in the privileged evidence; otherwise narrow the documented scope
explicitly to IAM users.
- Around line 83-98: Bound the polling loop around generate-credential-report
with a finite retry limit, and enable failure propagation so AWS command errors
cannot be masked by grep. Exit nonzero with a clear error when the limit is
reached or report generation fails, while preserving polling until COMPLETE
before get-credential-report.
- Around line 458-480: Update inactive_accounts to consider password_last_used
and both access-key last-used fields, ignoring N/A, no_information, and empty
values before parsing. Select the latest valid activity timestamp per user and
flag the account only when that latest activity exceeds self.inactivity_days,
while preserving the existing scope checks, output, and return behavior.

Pushed db24d6a addressing the bot review. Summary of what changed and what I pushed back on. Fixed (all inside
Pushed back on two, with reasoning in the threads: the AC-2 baseline allocation finding is incorrect (AC-2(5) and AC-2(13) are both Moderate per SP 800-53B), and the per-family allocation table would duplicate the catalog that the prompt-only design resolves at runtime. Verification: markdownlint-cli2@0.18.1 reports 0 errors, the embedded Python parses, all 11 bash blocks parse, and shellcheck is clean on the changed block. I also ran the old and new inactivity logic over the same fabricated credential-report rows — the old version flagged one account and it was the wrong one, a user idle on the console but using access keys daily, while missing both genuinely dead accounts. |

- Around line 544-551: Update the never-used account branch in the inactivity
evaluation to parse user_creation_time and calculate idle_days from the account
creation date, so self.inactivity_days is applied based on the account’s actual
age. Preserve last_seen as “never used” and ensure the status distinguishes
accounts that have not yet exceeded the threshold from those that have.

Pushed bbbed0f, taking the residual permissions point from the last review. Evidence files were created by the builtin Both writers now go through a markdownlint-cli2@0.18.1 reports 0 errors across 422 files, and the inactivity fixture set still passes. |

Closes #163.
Adds
/nist:evidence-checklist, matching the shape used by thegdpr,hitrust, andcmmcevidence-checklist commands.What it does
/nist:evidence-checklist <control-id|family> [--baseline low|moderate|high] [--export markdown|json|csv], defaulting tomoderateandmarkdown.Baseline drives evidence depth rather than just labelling the output. Each worked example lists the enhancements the selected baseline actually pulls in, and a "Baseline Depth" section shows the Low/Moderate/High delta, so a Low system is not chased for artifacts it never had to implement.
Two worked examples from different families: AC-2 (Account Management) at Moderate, and AU-6 (Audit Record Review, Analysis, and Reporting) at High.
Control intent is paraphrased and referenced by ID. No verbatim Rev 5 catalog text. Baseline allocations follow SP 800-53B and assessment framing follows SP 800-53A (examine / interview / test).
Acceptance criteria
plugins/frameworks/nist-800-53/commands/evidence-checklist.mdgdpr/hitrust/cmmcbash tests/validate-plugin-manifests.shpassesThe "never commit evidence artifacts" callout is copied verbatim from the HITRUST command, which is the GDPR text minus its GDPR-specific sentence.
Checks run
tests/validate-plugin-manifests.sh(67 manifests),tests/validate-grc-diagram-skills.sh, andmarkdownlint-cli2@0.18.1across all 422 files, all clean. The embedded Python compiles and every bash block passesbash -n.Note on evidence completeness
The collection examples are written so an artifact is never quietly short. The AC-2 Python collector paginates every IAM list call, polls
generate_credential_reportuntilCOMPLETEbefore fetching, and resolves privileged access through directly attached, group-inherited, and inline policies. Checking only directly attached managed policies misses group-based admin, which is the pattern AWS recommends, and an understated privileged population is exactly what an assessor writes up.The shell examples follow the same rule: the CloudTrail lifecycle loop writes one parseable JSON file per event name rather than appending several objects into one file, and the AU-6(5) Security Hub pull carries no row cap. Where volume makes a full pull impractical, the guidance is to narrow with a filter you can state and justify rather than truncate at an arbitrary count.
