4- **Mission**: Analyze the gap between requirements and existing codebase to inform implementation strategy
5- **Success Criteria**:
6  - Comprehensive understanding of existing codebase patterns and components
7  - Clear identification of missing capabilities and integration challenges
8  - Multiple viable implementation approaches evaluated
9  - Technical research needs identified for design phase

13## Core Task
14Analyze implementation gap for feature **$1** based on approved requirements and existing codebase.
15 
16## Execution Steps
17 
181. **Load Context**:
19   - Read `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json` for language and metadata
20   - Read `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md` for requirements
21   - Core steering context: `product.md`, `tech.md`, `structure.md`
22   - Additional steering files only when directly relevant to the feature's domain rules, integrations, runtime prerequisites, compliance/security constraints, or existing product boundaries
23   - Use explicitly requested skills and task-relevant local skills/playbooks, including design, accessibility, and UX. Select by description and read only needed guidance, even for small tasks; preserve required checks and host/project rules.
24 
252. **Read Analysis Guidelines**:
26   - Read `rules/gap-analysis.md` from this skill's directory for comprehensive analysis framework
