validate-gap

A command that compares a feature's written requirements with the code already in a project. It reads project guidance and the feature's specification before analyzing the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking architecture, modules, services, data models, APIs, and integration patterns for a named feature against its requirements.
Why use it?
It shows what is missing, what already exists, and how the current code is organized before development begins. If the requirements document is absent, it tells you which earlier command to run.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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 yesterday.

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.

Implementation Gap Validation

Analyze implementation requirements and existing codebase for feature: $1

Context Validation

Steering Context

  • Architecture context: @.kiro/steering/structure.md
  • Technical constraints: @.kiro/steering/tech.md
  • Product context: @.kiro/steering/product.md
  • Custom steering: Load all "Always" mode custom steering files from .kiro/steering/

Existing Spec Context

  • Current spec directory: !bash -c 'ls -la .kiro/specs/$1/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No spec directory found"'
  • Requirements document: @.kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md
  • Spec metadata: @.kiro/specs/$1/spec.json

Task: Implementation Gap Analysis

Prerequisites

  • Requirements document must exist: .kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md
  • If not exist, stop with message: "Run /kiro:spec-requirements $1 first to generate requirements"

Analysis Process

1. Current State Investigation

Existing Codebase Analysis:

  • Identify files and modules related to the feature domain
  • Map current architecture patterns, conventions, and tech stack usage
  • Document existing services, utilities, and reusable components
  • Understand current data models, APIs, and integration patterns

Code Structure Assessment:

  • Document file organization, naming conventions, and architectural layers
  • Extract import/export patterns and module dependency structures
  • Identify existing testing patterns (file placement, frameworks, mocking approaches)
  • Map API client, database, and authentication implementation approaches currently used
  • Note established coding standards and development practices
2. Requirements Feasibility Analysis

Technical Requirements Extraction:

  • Parse EARS format requirements from requirements.md
  • Identify technical components needed for each requirement
  • Extract non-functional requirements (security, performance, etc.)
  • Map business logic complexity and integration points

Gap Identification:

  • Missing technical capabilities vs requirements
  • Unknown technologies or external dependencies
  • Potential integration challenges with existing systems
  • Areas requiring research or proof-of-concept work

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.

validate-gap is a command published in the GitHub repository kbwo/ccmanager (1,229 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,253 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
