# Implementation Gap Validation
<background_information>
- **Mission**: Analyze the gap between requirements and existing codebase to inform implementation strategy
- **Success Criteria**:
- Comprehensive understanding of existing codebase patterns and components
- Clear identification of missing capabilities and integration challenges
- Multiple viable implementation approaches evaluated
- Technical research needs identified for design phase
</background_information>
<instructions>
## Core Task
Analyze implementation gap for feature **$1** based on approved requirements and existing codebase.
## Execution Steps
1. **Load Context**:
- Read `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json` for language and metadata
- Read `{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md` for requirements
- Core steering context: `product.md`, `tech.md`, `structure.md`
- Additional steering files only when directly relevant to the feature's domain rules, integrations, runtime prerequisites, compliance/security constraints, or existing product boundaries
- Relevant local agent skills or playbooks only when they clearly match the feature's host environment or use case and provide analysis-relevant context
2. **Read Analysis Guidelines**:
- Read `rules/gap-analysis.md` from this skill's directory for comprehensive analysis framework
#### Parallel Research
The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:
1. **Codebase analysis**: Existing implementations, archite
