research-gap-analysis

research-gap-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spiralcrew-ou/profilespider-agent-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research planning skill that finds information missing from records needed for qualification, segmentation, or outreach preparation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare records with a stated goal, rank missing fields by impact, suggest a research source for each gap, and record assumptions to verify.
Why use it?
It shows which gaps prevent a decision and helps prioritize what to research, instead of treating incomplete records as ready.

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

research-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 2mo 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

Research Gap Analysis

Purpose

Identify missing information required to complete qualification, segmentation, or outreach prep.

When to use this skill

  • Finding what blocks qualification or segmentation
  • Prioritizing enrichment work
  • Scoping research before outreach
  • Turning "incomplete data" into a task list

When not to use this skill

  • You have no goal to assess gaps against
  • The dataset is already complete
  • You want the gaps filled, not identified

Required inputs

  • Records
  • The goal (qualify, segment, or prep outreach)

Optional inputs

  • Required fields for the goal
  • Approved research sources

Rules

  1. Assess gaps against the stated goal.
  2. Explain why each gap matters and its impact.
  3. Suggest a realistic research source per gap.
  4. Prioritize gaps by impact.
  5. List assumptions to verify.

Process

  1. Parse the goal and required fields.
  2. Compare records to requirements.
  3. List missing fields and their impact.
  4. Suggest sources and assign priority.
  5. Record unresolved assumptions.

Output format

Return one record per identified gap with the following fields:

  • missing_field
  • why_it_matters
  • impact_on_decision
  • suggested_research_source
  • priority
  • unresolved_assumptions

Validation

  • Confirm gaps map to the goal.
  • Confirm priorities reflect impact.
  • Confirm assumptions are flagged.

Limitations

  • It identifies gaps; it does not fill them.
  • Source suggestions may vary in availability.
Changes

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.
