CODITECT Standards Gap Analysis

Analysis Date: December 3, 2025 Version: 1.0.0 Status: Complete Methodology: Automated validation + manual review

---

Executive Summary

Comprehensive analysis of 271 CODITECT components against Phase 1-3 standards reveals significant compliance gaps requiring systematic migration. Overall compliance stands at 68.4%, with critical issues in commands (11.5% compliant) and agents (59.1% compliant).

Key Findings:

• Commands (96 files): 11.5% compliant - CRITICAL PRIORITY
• Agents (66 files): 59.1% compliant - HIGH PRIORITY
• Skills (31 files): 64.5% compliant - MEDIUM PRIORITY
• Scripts (57 files): 77.2% compliant - LOW PRIORITY
• Hooks (18 files): 100% compliant - EXCELLENT ✅
• Configurations (3 files): 100% compliant - EXCELLENT ✅

Business Impact: Non-compliant components lack documentation, validation, and integration quality needed for production reliability. Migration investment: 40-60 hours for critical priorities (commands + agents).

Recommendation: Execute phased migration (F→C→B→A) starting with commands, estimated 4-6 weeks to achieve 80%+ compliance across all component types.

1. Methodology

1.1 Analysis Approach

Automated Validation:

• Custom validation script: scripts/validate-components.py
• Scans all component types against Phase 1-3 standards
• Applies grading rubrics (A-F scale) per component type
• Generates compliance metrics and violation patterns

Manual Review:

• Sample validation (10% of each component type)
• Edge case analysis for validation accuracy
• Cross-reference with standards documents
• Expert judgment on borderline cases

Grading Standards:

• Grade A (90-100%): Exemplary - all requirements met, best practices followed
• Grade B (80-89%): Production-ready - core requirements met, minor improvements possible
• Grade C (70-79%): Functional - basic requirements met, significant improvements needed
• Grade D (60-69%): Minimal - some requirements met, major gaps exist
• Grade F (<60%): Does not meet standards - critical requirements missing

Average Grade: C (73.4%)

Grade Distribution:

• Grade A: 39 agents (59.1%)
• Grade F: 27 agents (40.9%)

Critical Issue: Binary distribution - agents either have YAML frontmatter (Grade A) or don't (Grade F). No middle ground.

Compliance Analysis:

{
  "has_yaml_frontmatter": "39/66 (59.1%)",
  "has_required_fields": "39/66 (59.1%)",
  "has_good_description": "39/66 (59.1%)",
  "has_model_specified": "35/66 (53.0%)"
}

Common Violations:

1. Missing YAML frontmatter (27 agents, 40.9%) - CRITICAL
2. Model not specified (31 agents, 47.0%)
3. Short or generic descriptions (12 agents, 18.2%)

Example Grade F Agent:

# Agent Name

Agent description text...

No YAML frontmatter present.

Example Grade A Agent:

---
name: codi-documentation-writer
description: Comprehensive technical documentation specialist...
tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, TodoWrite, Bash
model: sonnet
---

[Detailed agent content]

Recommended Actions:

1. Add YAML frontmatter to 27 agents without it (8-12 hours)
2. Add model specification to 31 agents (4-6 hours)
3. Improve descriptions for 12 agents (2-3 hours)

Estimated Migration Time: 14-21 hours

3.2 Skills (31 files)

Average Grade: C (73.9%)

Grade Distribution:

• Grade A: 7 skills (22.6%)
• Grade B: 13 skills (41.9%)
• Grade D: 6 skills (19.4%)
• Grade F: 5 skills (16.1%)

Compliance Analysis:

{
  "has_yaml_frontmatter": "26/31 (83.9%)",
  "progressive_disclosure": "20/31 (64.5%)",
  "reasonable_tokens": "28/31 (90.3%)",
  "has_allowed_tools": "18/31 (58.1%)"
}

Common Violations:

1. Missing YAML frontmatter (5 skills, 16.1%) - MANDATORY REQUIREMENT VIOLATION
2. Missing allowed-tools specification (13 skills, 41.9%)
3. Weak progressive disclosure structure (11 skills, 35.5%)
4. Token count over 5000 (3 skills, 9.7%)

Critical Issue: YAML frontmatter is MANDATORY for skills per CODITECT-STANDARD-SKILLS.md. 5 skills are non-compliant.

Recommended Actions:

1. Add YAML frontmatter to 5 skills immediately (2-3 hours) CRITICAL
2. Add allowed-tools to 13 skills (3-4 hours)
3. Restructure 11 skills for progressive disclosure (8-12 hours)

# Command Title

Simple command content without frontmatter or structure.

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Example Grade A Command:

---
name: action
description: Implementation mode - emits working code in persistent artifacts
