Use this skill when a team suspects its policies describe a company that does not exist, before an audit or customer review, or asks "do our policies match what we actually do", "check the policy against reality", "paper versus practice", "will the auditor find gaps in our policies", "our policy says quarterly but we never do it" or "align policies with how we work". Turns each policy into testable statements, samples the systems and records that show the practice, classifies every gap and…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this when policies were written before the practice settled, when an audit is close, or after a reorganisation, a new tool or a new team changed how work is done. You get two files in a new folder, `./policy-gap-review-against-practice/`: a table comparing each promise in your policies with what the records show actually happens (`gap-table.md`), and a to-do list of fixes grouped by owner, most urgent first (`fix-list.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. Whether the policy or the practice changes is the policy owner's decision. End `gap-table.md` with `## Not checked`: what this run did not read or could not open, what it assumed and what it did not verify, specific to this run. ## Inputs to gather …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/policy-gap-review-against-practice@sha256:042df1c4320a441cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.94f7f3e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
