validate-skill-coverage

You can audit skill coverage by parsing the skills-index.yaml file and reading each SKILL.md frontmatter to map capabilities against lifecycle phases. This produces a structured coverage report highlighting phase completeness and priority-based gap analysis.

A skills index coverage gap analysis identifies missing or weak capabilities across product lifecycle phases like Discovery, Design, Testing, and Operations. It reviews existing skills mappings to surface gaps that hinder team execution and recommends targeted improvements.

You map existing skills to product lifecycle phases by reading the SKILL.md frontmatter for each entry in the skills-index.yaml. This lifecycle mapping process categorizes capabilities into stages like Definition, Planning, Implementation, and Governance.

Yes, you can generate a coverage matrix for multiple skills across Discovery, Design, Release, and other phases. The matrix displays phase coverage, skill tiers, and overall completeness to identify where capabilities exist and where gaps remain.

The best way to identify missing capabilities is to audit the skills-index.yaml and map each SKILL.md frontmatter to lifecycle phases. This produces a priority-based gap analysis that flags weak coverage and recommends new skills or improvements.

Yes, you need a skills-index.yaml file to perform a lifecycle coverage audit. The audit requires parsing this index and reading the associated SKILL.md frontmatter files to map capabilities and generate the structured coverage report.
