name	gapf - Gap-Filling Analysis
description	Systematically find what's missing in any system, plan, or collection. Defines intended coverage, enumerates what exists, identifies categories, checks each for coverage, flags gaps, and prioritizes by impact.

Gap-Filling Analysis

Input: $ARGUMENTS

---

Step 1: Define Intended Coverage

Articulate what the system/plan/collection is supposed to cover.

SUBJECT: [what is being analyzed]
INTENDED SCOPE: [what full coverage would look like]
STATED GOALS: [explicit goals, if any]
IMPLIED GOALS: [goals that are implied but not stated]
COMPLETENESS STANDARD: [how do we know when it's "complete"?]

---

Step 2: Enumerate What Exists

List everything currently present in the system.

EXISTING COMPONENTS:
1. [component] — covers [what it addresses]
2. [component] — covers [what it addresses]
...

SKIP: If the inventory is already provided or obvious, summarize rather than enumerate.

---

Step 3: Identify Categories

Break the intended coverage into logical categories or dimensions.

COVERAGE CATEGORIES:
1. [category] — description
2. [category] — description
...

CATEGORIZATION METHOD: [how these categories were derived]

---

Step 4: Check Coverage Per Category

For each category, assess whether existing components provide adequate coverage.

COVERAGE MAP:
| Category | Covered By | Coverage Level | Notes |
|----------|-----------|----------------|-------|
| [cat 1]  | [components] | FULL / PARTIAL / NONE | [detail] |
| [cat 2]  | [components] | FULL / PARTIAL / NONE | [detail] |
...

---

Step 5: Flag Gaps

Identify what is missing, underdeveloped, or only superficially covered.

GAPS FOUND:
1. [gap] — Category: [cat] — Severity: [CRITICAL / SIGNIFICANT / MINOR]
   Why it matters: [impact of this gap]
2. [gap] — Category: [cat] — Severity: [CRITICAL / SIGNIFICANT / MINOR]
   Why it matters: [impact of this gap]
...

PARTIAL COVERAGE (needs deepening):
1. [component] — What's missing: [detail]
...

---

Step 6: Prioritize by Impact

Rank gaps by their impact on the overall system's effectiveness.

PRIORITY ORDER:
1. [gap] — Impact: [HIGH/MED/LOW] — Effort: [HIGH/MED/LOW] — Rationale: [why this matters most]
2. [gap] — Impact: [HIGH/MED/LOW] — Effort: [HIGH/MED/LOW] — Rationale: [reasoning]
...

QUICK WINS (high impact, low effort):
- [gap]: [what to do]

STRATEGIC GAPS (high impact, high effort):
- [gap]: [what to do]

---

Step 7: Synthesize

SUMMARY:
- Total categories: [N]
- Fully covered: [N]
- Partially covered: [N]
- Not covered: [N]
- Top priority gap: [description]
- Recommended first action: [what to do next]

• /ecomp -> Assess overall ecosystem coherence after filling gaps
• /roip -> Prioritize which gaps to fill based on ROI
• /se -> Explore the space to ensure categories are complete
