What problem does it solve? Before designing a feature that integrates with an existing system, teams need to know what the codebase already provides, what is missing, and which integration approaches are viable. This Skill performs that gap analysis systematically and persists the findings so they survive across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Codebase Gap Analysis: Compares spec requirements against existing code patterns, components, and integration points using grep, glob, and parallel research. - Multiple Implementation Options: Evaluates extend, new-build, and hybrid approaches with trade-offs rather than prescribing a single solution. - Durable Artifacts: Writes gap-analysis.md and appends to research.md in the spec directory, and records learnings for future specs. - Use Case: When planning a brownfield feature like adding notifications to an existing app, run this after requirements approval to identify missing capabilities and integration risks before the design phase. ## Quick Start Run the kiro-validate-gap skill with a feature name to analyze how its requirements map against the current codebase and produce a gap analysis document.
