Gap Analysis Skill

What problem does it solve?

This Skill systematically compares feature specifications with release implementations to identify and categorize gaps, ensuring that all defined features are accounted for and preventing items from being overlooked or deferred indefinitely.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Feature vs. Release Comparison: Extracts items from FEATURE specifications and verifies their presence and status in RELEASE documents and code.
• Gap Categorization: Classifies identified discrepancies into types like MISSING, PARTIAL, PHASE_2, EXTERNAL, DRIFT, etc.
• Severity Assessment: Assigns severity levels (BLOCKER, CRITICAL, DEFERRED, TRACKED) to gaps based on their impact on release completion.
• Automated Reporting: Generates a comprehensive Gap Analysis report detailing all findings, including executive summaries, phase-specific gaps, external dependencies, and drift detection.
• Integration with Other Skills: Seamlessly integrates with completion-gate, phase-tracking, dependency-coordination, and docs-synchronize for a streamlined development and release process.
