Gap Analysis
Identify, classify, validate, and prioritize research gaps via systematic evidence mapping.
Design Philosophy
This campaign is a strategy book — CC reads, internalizes, and autonomously constructs an approach. The SKILL.md files are textbooks, not scripts. CC decides execution order, depth, and iteration based on research context.
Strategy Routing
| Signal | Strategy |
|---|
| Search for gaps, identify what is missing, concept matrix, keyword extraction | → gap-identification |
| Classify gap types, Miles 7-type, Müller-Bloch 6-type | → gap-classification |
| Verify gap authenticity, cross-database verification, temporal sensitivity, false gaps | → gap-validation |
| Rank priority, AHRQ PiCMe, feasibility, importance | → gap-prioritization |
| Generate report, evidence map, research agenda, concept matrix | → gap-synthesis-strategy |
Available Tactics
- evidence-mapping — systematic evidence map construction
- cross-validation — multi-source gap authenticity verification
- prioritization-scoring — multi-dimensional gap scoring and ranking
Available SOPs
Import (5): web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
Subagent (12): gap-keyword-extraction, concept-matrix-construction, egm-construction, gap-typology-classification, ahrq-reason-classification, cross-database-verification, false-gap-filtering, temporal-sensitivity-testing, multi-criteria-scoring, stakeholder-confirmation, evidence-grading, gap-synthesis
Shared (2): evidence-synthesis, multi-stakeholder-simulation
Context Management
context-checkpoint after each strategy completes. Accumulated state persists across strategies within a campaign run.
Available Strategies
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Strategy | When to use |
|---|
| deep-insight-gap-identification | Identify research gaps via PICOS frameworks, concept matrices, evidence gap maps, keyword extraction, citation analysis, and topic modeling. Systematic discovery of what is missing in the literature. |
| deep-insight-gap-prioritization | Score and rank validated gaps on importance, feasibility, novelty, and urgency. Multi-criteria decision analysis with stakeholder confirmation. |
| gap-classification | Classify identified gaps using Miles 7-type taxonomy and AHRQ 4-reason framework. Determines gap type (theoretical, methodological, empirical, etc.) and root cause of gap existence. |
| gap-synthesis-strategy | Compile all gap analysis products into a coherent final report with evidence gap maps, research agenda, and concept matrices. |
| gap-validation | Validate gap authenticity via cross-database verification, temporal sensitivity testing, and false-gap filtering. Ensures gaps are genuine absences, not search artifacts. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| context-checkpoint | Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase. |
| context-init | Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed. |
