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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00015 | $0.01085 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00434 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
kiro-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.
This is a copy
97% identical to kiro-validate-gap — 16 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.

Implementation Gap Validation
<background_information>
- Mission: Analyze the gap between requirements and existing codebase to inform implementation strategy
- Success Criteria:
- Comprehensive understanding of existing codebase patterns and components
- Clear identification of missing capabilities and integration challenges
- Multiple viable implementation approaches evaluated
- Technical research needs identified for design phase </background_information>
Execution Steps
-
Load Context:
- Read
.kiro/specs/$1/spec.jsonfor language and metadata - Read
.kiro/specs/$1/requirements.mdfor requirements - Core steering context:
product.md,tech.md,structure.md - Additional steering files only when directly relevant to the feature's domain rules, integrations, runtime prerequisites, compliance/security constraints, or existing product boundaries
- Relevant local agent skills or playbooks only when they clearly match the feature's host environment or use case and provide analysis-relevant context
- Read
-
Read Analysis Guidelines:
- Read
rules/gap-analysis.mdfrom this skill's directory for comprehensive analysis framework
- Read
Parallel Research
The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:
- Codebase analysis: Existing implementations, architecture patterns, integration points, extension possibilities
- External dependency research: Dependency compatibility, version constraints, known integration challenges (when needed)
- Context loading: Requirements, core steering, task-relevant extra steering, relevant local agent skills/playbooks, and gap-analysis rules
If multi-agent is enabled, spawn sub-agents for each area above. Otherwise execute sequentially.
After all parallel research completes, synthesize findings for gap analysis.
- Execute Gap Analysis:
- Follow gap-analysis.md framework for thorough investigation
- Analyze existing codebase using Grep and Read tools
- Use WebSearch/WebFetch for external dependency research if needed
- Evaluate multiple implementation approaches (extend/new/hybrid)
- Use language specified in spec.json for output
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

kiro-validate-gap is a skill published in the GitHub repository akaghef/M3E (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,085 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to kiro-validate-gap, differing in 16 lines, and is treated as a copy.
