Provides a repeatable framework for identifying and prioritising gaps between where things are now and where they need to be.
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
## What this skill does
Provides a repeatable framework for identifying and prioritising gaps between where things are now and where they need to be. It structures the analysis by dimension (process, data, technology, people, compliance, etc.), scores each gap by severity, and produces actionable recommendations with ownership.
## When to use it
- User asks to "identify gaps", "do a gap analysis", or "compare current to target state".
- User is preparing for a migration, transformation, audit, or initiative and needs to understand what needs to change.
- User needs evidence to justify a project or roadmap item.
- User wants to feed results into a `miro-board`, `risk-analysis`, or `tradeoff-analysis`.
## Key concepts
### Dimensions
A gap analysis is organised by **dimension** — the aspect of the system or organisation being assessed. Choose dimensions that are relevant to the subject:
| Dimension | What it covers |
| --- | --- |
| Process | How work is done; workflows, steps, handoffs |
| Data | Data availability, quality, structure, lineage |
| Technology | Tools, systems, integrations, infrastructure |
| People | Skills, roles, capacity, knowledge |
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
