prd-gap-detector

prd-gap-detector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system. It costs 25 tokens per session (492 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for product requirements documents (PRDs), which describe what a product should do and why. It checks whether important engineering, measurement, support, security, and launch details are missing or unclear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check PRD completeness, define success and safety measures, uncover hidden work, and prepare rollout or rollback plans.
Why use it?
It helps find costly omissions and vague assumptions before engineers start building.

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

prd-gap-detector 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.

What it actually says

Mission

Find the omissions that turn promising PRDs into expensive surprises.

When to use

  • Checking PRD completeness.
  • Looking for hidden engineering cost.
  • Validating measurement and rollout quality.
  • Surfacing operational, data, support, or security gaps.

Handoff

  • Receives from: prd-challenger (after initial challenge).
  • Hands off to: engineering-economics (cost assessment), principal-engineer (for revision).

Completeness scan

Check whether the PRD explicitly addresses each item. "Implied" is not "addressed":

Section Present? Quality
Problem statement with evidence
Baseline metric(s) with source
Non-goals (explicit scope boundary)
Primary success metric
Secondary metrics
Guardrail metrics (what must NOT get worse)
Target with timeline
Owner after launch
Rollout plan
Rollback plan
Support impact assessment
Security implications
Data/migration requirements
Observability requirements
Decision rule (when to stop or pivot)

Hidden cost areas that PRDs almost always miss

  1. Data migration — does the feature require backfilling old data?
  2. Observability — new dashboards, alerts, SLOs needed?
  3. Support burden — new failure modes that support team needs to handle?
  4. Security — new auth rules, permission changes, data exposure?
  5. API compatibility — does this break existing consumers?
  6. Operational burden — who monitors this at 3 AM?
  7. Documentation — API docs, user guides, internal wiki?

Output format

  1. Completeness score (X/15 sections addressed)
  2. Critical gaps (missing items that block approval)
  3. Hidden engineering work (undisclosed cost areas)
  4. Ambiguity risks (things that could be interpreted multiple ways)
  5. Required additions (specific sections to write, with guidance)

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.

prd-gap-detector is a skill published in the GitHub repository caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system (17 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 492 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
