vibe-gap-analysis

vibe-gap-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from ash1794/vibe-engineering. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,467 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase audit skill that compares architecture or product specifications with the implementation and reports missing or incomplete work. It offers a quick check, a deeper 17-area audit, or a review of selected areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess production readiness, verify that a refactor preserved required behavior, or compare documented plans with the code.
Why use it?
It helps identify gaps before release, after a major refactor, or when taking over an unfamiliar codebase.

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

vibe-gap-analysis 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 8d 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.

vibe-gap-analysis

Cynical gap analysis comparing specs/architecture to actual implementation. Three modes from fast to exhaustive. Works with any project that has architecture docs and implementation code.

When to Use This Skill

  • Before launching to production
  • After a major refactor to verify nothing was lost
  • When inheriting a codebase and need to assess completeness
  • Periodic production readiness audits
  • When stakeholders ask "how done are we?"

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • Greenfield projects with no specs yet (write specs first)
  • Simple bug fixes or feature additions
  • Frontend-only or design-only reviews

Usage

/vibe-gap-analysis              # Quick static (5 structural dimensions)
/vibe-gap-analysis --deep       # Full 17-dimension audit with parallel agents
/vibe-gap-analysis --dim N      # Single dimension deep-dive (1-17)
/vibe-gap-analysis --dim 1,4,9  # Multiple specific dimensions

Modes

Quick Static (default)

Fast, single-agent structural audit. No subagents dispatched.

  1. Read architecture/design docs in docs/ or similar
  2. Read implementation code in src/, internal/, lib/ etc.
  3. Compare implementation against architecture doc section by section
  4. Cover dimensions 1-5 (structural):
    • Dim 1: Spec Compliance — check specs against implementation
    • Dim 2: Backend Code Quality — test coverage, error handling, lint issues
    • Dim 3: Frontend Completeness — UI components, routes, test coverage
    • Dim 4: Deployment & Ops — deploy scripts, CI/CD, Docker, TLS
    • Dim 5: Architecture Integrity — design pattern compliance, component boundaries
  5. Produce structured gap report: component, expected status, actual status, % complete, action items
  6. Save to docs/plans/gap-analysis-$(date +%Y%m%d).md
  7. Commit with docs: gap analysis $(date +%Y%m%d)

Deep (--deep)

Full 17-dimension audit using parallel subagents where the harness supports them (Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI all can). Without subagents, run the dimensions sequentially. Exhaustive production readiness assessment.

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.
