validate-gap

validate-gap is a command for Claude Code from growilabs/growi-mcp-server. It costs 9 tokens per session (311 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of validate-gap, MIT.

A command that compares a feature's written requirements with the existing codebase. It expects the feature's specification files to be under .kiro/specs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check a feature's specification, requirements, steering rules, and gap-analysis rules, then produce an implementation-gap analysis.
Why use it?
It reveals what is still missing before technical design work begins, especially in an existing or partly built project.

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

validate-gap 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to validate-gap — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Implementation Gap Validation

Parse Arguments

  • Feature name: $1

Validate

Check that requirements have been completed:

  • Verify .kiro/specs/$1/ exists
  • Verify .kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md exists

If validation fails, inform user to complete requirements phase first.

Invoke Subagent

Delegate gap analysis to validate-gap-agent:

Use the Task tool to invoke the Subagent with file path patterns:

Task(
  subagent_type="validate-gap-agent",
  description="Analyze implementation gap",
  prompt="""
Feature: $1
Spec directory: .kiro/specs/$1/

File patterns to read:
- .kiro/specs/$1/spec.json
- .kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md
- .kiro/steering/*.md
- .kiro/settings/rules/gap-analysis.md
"""
)

Display Result

Show Subagent summary to user, then provide next step guidance:

Next Phase: Design Generation

If Gap Analysis Complete:

  • Review gap analysis insights
  • Run /kiro:spec-design $1 to create technical design document
  • Or /kiro:spec-design $1 -y to auto-approve requirements and proceed directly

Note: Gap analysis is optional but recommended for brownfield projects to inform design decisions.

Changes

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.
