Use when auditing a repository for evidence-backed gaps between code, SPECs, architecture, and documentation — before a release, after a review, or when the user asks what is missing or divergent. Confirmed gaps become Draft SPECs via write-specs, a tracked GitHub Epic via create-issues, and orchestrated execution via orchestrator, with an explicit approval gate before any external action.

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

# Gap Analysis

Audit a repository's current state (AS-IS) against its documented desired state (TO-BE) and turn **evidence-backed gaps** into SPECs, GitHub Issues, and orchestrated delivery.

Every conclusion must cite reproducible evidence: file paths, line ranges, symbols, commands, test output, specs, issues, or commits. A missing source is itself evidence — record it, never invent content to compensate for it.

All questions and confirmations directed at the user must be in **Portuguese (pt-BR)**. Internal reasoning, records, and documentation are in English.

## When to Use

- Before a release, to verify that specs, docs, and code still agree.
- After an audit or review, to convert findings into tracked work.
- When the user asks "what is missing", "what diverges from the spec", "audit gaps", "map gaps".
- Invoked by `architecture` (on behalf of `orchestrator` in Phase 5) as the final evidence-backed audit before documentation sync.
- User asks or mentions this skill in English (e.g., "use /gap-analysis", "run gap-analysis").
- O usuário pede ou menciona esta skill em português (ex.: "use /gap-analysis", "execute gap-analysis").

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add afonsoft/skills/gap-analysis@sha256:cf42625acdce0e1e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, 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.
