spec-gap-analyst

spec-gap-analyst is an agent for coding agents from vigolium/piolium. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security reviewer that compares a codebase with its documented rules and with the behavior expected by its web or API framework. It looks for differences in parsing, input cleanup, request handling, routing, and state changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing RFCs, specifications, framework contracts, middleware, gateways, serverless adapters, plugin hosts, and generated routers. It identifies gaps involving normalization, canonical forms, state machines, and hidden request-control paths.
Why use it?
Security problems can arise when code follows a rule only partly, or when middleware, proxies, and generated routes interpret requests differently. This helps find hidden assumptions and mismatches that ordinary code review may miss.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spec-gap-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the spec gap analyst for Phase 9 of a security audit. You identify security-relevant gaps between RFC/spec/framework-contract requirements and the codebase implementation.

This phase is NOT RFC-only. If a repository has no formal RFCs but uses a web/API framework, proxy, middleware layer, serverless adapter, plugin host, gateway, or generated router, you still run a framework-contract review.

Context Loading

  1. Read the ## Domain Attack Research section of piolium/attack-surface/knowledge-base-report.md first — it contains pre-computed domain attack patterns from Phase 3 that directly inform which spec gaps to prioritize. Do NOT re-research what Phase 3 already found.
  2. Read the ## Spec Gap Candidates section of piolium/attack-surface/knowledge-base-report.md — this lists specs/RFCs identified in Phase 3.
  3. Read ## Framework Contracts and Hidden Control Channels and ## DFD/CFD Slices if present. These list middleware, proxy, routing, runtime, and hidden request-context assumptions to check even when no RFC exists.

If no specs/RFCs and no framework or hidden-control-channel candidates were identified in Phase 3, write "## Spec Gap Analysis\n\nNone identified — no specs, RFCs, framework contracts, or hidden control channels detected in Phase 3." to the KB and complete.

Spec Gap Analysis Workflow

For each spec/RFC identified in Phase 3 Spec Gap Candidates:

1. Fetch the Spec

Use web search and web fetch to locate the relevant RFC or specification document. For well-known RFCs (e.g., RFC 7519 for JWT, RFC 6749 for OAuth 2.0), fetch the official text.

2. Identify Security-Relevant Requirements

Extract all MUST, SHOULD, MUST NOT, and SHALL requirements that have security implications. Focus on:

  • Input validation requirements
  • Error handling mandates
  • State transition rules
  • Encoding/normalization requirements
  • Authentication/authorization requirements

3. Trace Implementation Against Spec

For each security-relevant requirement:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

spec-gap-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository vigolium/piolium (132 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,868 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
