At a glance

Open gaps tracker — what's flagged and not yet closed. An agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal.

  • Works in 4 steps: Read the gap tracker at… → If --close: mark gap closed with… → If --accept: record the risk-acceptance… → …
  • The user asks what gaps are open
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Remediation status

What it does

Gaps is an agent skill from anthropics/claude-for-legal, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Open gaps tracker — what's flagged and not yet closed. Use when the user asks "what gaps are open", "gap tracker", "remediation status", or wants to close (--close GAP-ID) or risk-accept (--accept GAP-ID) a tracked gap.

Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A suite of plugins for legal workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what gaps are open
  • Remediation status
  • Wants to close (--close GAP-ID)
  • Risk-accept (--accept GAP-ID) a tracked gap

Example prompts

  • “s flagged and not yet closed. Use when the user asks”
  • “gap tracker”
  • “remediation status”
  • “/gaps”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the gap tracker at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/gap-tracker.yaml.
  2. If --close: mark gap closed with resolution note.
  3. If --accept: record the risk-acceptance rationale and acceptor, status → risk-accepted.
  4. Otherwise: report open gaps by age and materiality.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a6c651. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gaps loads about 229 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~229

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/gaps

  1. Read the gap tracker at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/gap-tracker.yaml.
  2. If --close: mark gap closed with resolution note.
  3. If --accept: record the risk-acceptance rationale and acceptor, status → risk-accepted.
  4. Otherwise: report open gaps by age and materiality.

Detailed tracker schema, status-report format, owner-notification logic (per-send confirmation, no exceptions), reminder cadence, the close/risk-accept modes, and the consequential-action gate live in the gap-surfacer reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
