Specification Gap Analysis

Specialized analysis of discrepancies between formal specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger, Protobuf, GraphQL, architecture diagrams) and actual implementations, with focused support for structured specification formats and contract-first development approaches.

When to use me

Use this skill when:

• Working with contract-first or API-first development approaches
• API specifications exist but implementation status is unclear
• Interface definitions (Protobuf, GraphQL schemas) need validation against implementations
• Architecture specifications require verification against deployed systems
• Ensuring backward compatibility during API evolution
• Validating that implementations adhere to defined contracts
• Detecting specification drift in microservices architectures
• Preparing for API version releases or compatibility checks
• Onboarding new developers to complex specification-based systems
• Auditing compliance with interface contracts
