tracking-gaps skillA

tracking-gaps is agent-read markdown (skill) from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst: Assess whether the data needed for an analysis actually exists, identify what's missing, and produce prioritized instrumentation requests for engineering when gaps are found. Use this skill whenever you're about to start an analysis, when a user asks about data availability, when you need to check if certain events or properties are tracked, when the Data Explorer agent finds incomplete data, when you're designing an analysis and need to verify data exists, when initial queries return nulls or m.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill: Tracking Gap Identification

## Purpose
Assess whether the data needed for an analysis actually exists, identify what's missing, and produce prioritized instrumentation requests for engineering when gaps are found.

## When to Use
Apply this skill after the Data Explorer agent inventories available data, when an analysis requires data that might not exist, or when initial query results suggest incomplete tracking. Run before committing to an analysis approach.

## Instructions

### Gap Detection Process

Define requirements (Step 1) before inventorying what exists; starting from "what we have" is how gaps get missed.

#### Step 1: Define Data Requirements

Before checking what data exists, list every data point the analysis NEEDS. This ensures you don't miss gaps.

For each analytical question, create a structured requirements table:

```markdown
| Requirement | Needed For | Granularity | Time Range |
|-------------|-----------|-------------|------------|
| [event/field] | [which analysis step] | [per user/session/event] | [last 30d, 90d, etc.] |
```

#### Step 2: Inventory Available Data
Map each requirement to what actually exists:

```markdown

How to install

Latest version
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/tracking-gaps@git:20260902.b370de6
Exact content
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/tracking-gaps@sha256:4d749c8c9c0d07eb

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
