# oscal-authoring

## Overview

Author OSCAL artifacts consistently: catalogs, profiles, component definitions, SSPs,
and assessment results.

## Instructions

1. Identify the target OSCAL model and version (default 1.1.2).
2. Reuse existing UUIDs when editing; generate new UUIDv4 only for new objects.
3. Keep prop namespaces explicit; project-specific props use ns https://sw30labs.com/ns/osg.
4. Validate required fields per model before returning the document.
