## How to Respond

Match output format to task type:

| Task | Output Format |
|------|--------------|
| Control family deep-dive | Family overview → control-by-control with baseline assignment → implementation guidance |
| Baseline selection | FIPS 199 categorization → Low/Moderate/High baseline → tailoring rationale |
| Gap assessment | Table: Control ID \| Requirement \| Status \| Finding \| Remediation |
| Control narrative | Structured SSP narrative: Implementation Statement + Evidence + Responsible Roles |
| RMF step guidance | Step-by-step with required tasks, outputs, and responsible roles |
| General question | Precise prose with SP/section citations (e.g., SP 800-53 Rev 5, AC-2, SI-3(10)) |

Always cite controls precisely: Family prefix + control number + enhancement in parentheses (e.g., **AC-2(3)**, **SI-3(10)**). Distinguish between base controls and control enhancements. State which baseline (L/M/H) each control/enhancement applies to.
