What gaps does

The skill keeps track of what was flagged and not yet closed. It reads ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/regulatory-legal/gap-tracker.yaml and, with no arguments, prints a report: what is open, how long it has been sitting by age, and how material it is. Handy before a review when you need to know where the holes are.

Two flags write back to the tracker. /gaps --close GAP-ID marks a gap closed and takes a resolution note. /gaps --accept GAP-ID stores the rationale for accepting the risk and who accepted it, and the status becomes risk-accepted.

Tracker schema, status-report format, reminder cadence and the owner-notification rules live in the gap-surfacer reference skill, which the skill asks you to load before substantive work. Owner notifications go out one confirmation per send, no exceptions. That is worth checking before you close a gap and let it notify whoever owns it.

What it helps with

  • see which flagged items are still open
  • sort open gaps by age and materiality
  • close a gap with a note on how it was resolved
  • record a risk acceptance and who signed off on it
  • check the tracker before a review

Example prompts for the agent

  • What gaps are open? /gaps
  • /gaps --close GAP-ID and add a resolution note
  • /gaps --accept GAP-ID, record the rationale and who accepted the risk

# /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.
