kiro-validate-gap

kiro-validate-gap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gotalab/cc-sdd. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for comparing a feature’s requirements with the existing codebase to find what is missing. It reads project specifications, guidance files, and analysis rules before proposing implementation approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing feature readiness, identifying implementation gaps, comparing possible solutions, and preparing a design or development plan.
Why use it?
It exposes missing pieces, integration difficulties, and research needs before coding begins.

About the project

cc-sdd is a spec-driven development workflow for coding agents: it turns approved software specifications into requirements, designs, task plans, and extended autonomous implementation. Developers use it across several AI coding agents, with independent review and task-level continuation for long-running work. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, agents, and instructions for using this workflow.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

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 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.

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

  1. Load Context:

    • Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json for language and metadata
    • Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md for 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
  2. Read Analysis Guidelines:

    • Read rules/gap-analysis.md from this skill's directory for comprehensive analysis framework
Parallel Research

The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:

  1. Codebase analysis: Existing implementations, architecture patterns, integration points, extension possibilities
  2. External dependency research: Dependency compatibility, version constraints, known integration challenges (when needed)
  3. 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.

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.
