skill-gap-finder

skill-gap-finder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 40 tokens per session (640 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only catalog search that checks whether an installed skill already covers a requested task. If no match exists, it produces a description of the missing skill instead of invoking or creating one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the installed skill catalog before requesting a new skill or routing work.
Why use it?
It prevents unnecessary skill creation and shows whether an existing tool already owns the task.

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

skill-gap-finder 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 3d 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.

Skill gap finder

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user suspects no installed skill covers a task, or wants exhaustive proof that a task is a skill gap before requesting a new skill.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. Consults the installed skill catalog; never invokes or routes to the matched skill.
Side effect None. Catalog lookup only; no persistent writes.
Done Either an owning skill is named with its trigger sentence (without invocation), or a missing-skill brief is produced proving no installed skill covers the task.

Inputs

  1. The task description or user request that needs gap analysis.
  2. The installed skill catalog, available at runtime through the host harness.

Both are required. If the catalog is unavailable, stop and report the blocker.

Procedure

  1. Extract the core action and domain from the task description. Done when: the core action and domain are identified.
  2. Search the installed skill catalog exhaustively for skills whose trigger predicate could match the extracted action and domain. Test broad and narrow phrasings of the task to avoid false gaps. Done when: the matching set is enumerated with the search strategy recorded.
  3. If one or more skills match, name the best-matching skill and quote its trigger sentence. Report the selection rationale. Do not invoke the skill or route the user to it: naming the owner is the terminal output. Done when: the owning skill is named with its trigger sentence and rationale, without invocation.
  4. If no skill matches, produce a missing-skill brief containing: the task description, the exhaustive search strategy used and why it found no match, and the trigger predicate a new skill would need. Done when: the brief contains all three elements.
  5. Never invent behavior, fork a near-duplicate, or widen scope. Done when: no invention, fork, or scope widening occurred.

Failure and recovery

Failure class Rule
Ambiguous task Stop. Ask the user to clarify the task before searching.
Catalog unavailable Stop. Report that the catalog could not be read. Do not guess.
Multiple equal matches Name all matching skills with their trigger sentences. Do not pick one. Report the overlap and let the user decide.
Near-duplicate detected Produce a missing-skill brief instead of forking. Record the overlap.

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.
