## Overview

Map IT workforce skills to COBIT process requirements using SFIA. Draft job descriptions for COBIT management objectives and identify key-person risk. Includes skill gap calculator vs Target Capability Level.

## Example Conversation

> **You:** We need to map our IT team to COBIT and SFIA. Target capability for our ISMS is Level 4 for security and risk roles. Can you draft the skills matrix and run the gap check?

> **Agent:** I'll draft a skills matrix with roles, current levels/certifications, and target capability level (Level 4 where you specified), then run `skill_gap_calculator` to get the delta.

> **Agent:** Created `skills-matrix-apo07.md`. Running `skill_gap_calculator`...

> **Agent:** **FAIL** — skill gap: target avg 4, current avg 3.2; delta 0.8. The matrix shows several roles below target. I've added a "Gap remediation" section (training, hiring, succession). Re-run after you update current levels or targets. For now the document captures the gap for APO07 evidence.

> **You:** We've updated certifications. Run the calculator again.

> **Agent:** Running `skill_gap_calculator` on `skills-matrix-apo07.md`... **PASS** — current meets or exceeds target. No skill gap.

## What the Tools Validate

**`skill_gap_calculator`** scans a skills matrix or competency document (Markdown or text):

- **Detection:** Looks for "target capability level", "target level", or similar (numeric 0–5) and "current level", "current capability", or "certification" (numeric or text).
- **Rule:** Computes average target vs average current (where numeric). If target > current by more than 0.5, the check FAILs (skill gap). If no target or no current levels are found, the tool reports what's missing without failing.
- **Output:** PASS if no gap (current ≥ target) or levels not fully specified; FAIL with delta and guidance to address gaps (training, hiring, succession) or set target levels. Run after drafting or updating the matrix.

## Output Excerpt

**Skills matrix (excerpt):**

```markdown
## Skills matrix (APO07)

| Role           | Target level | Current level / certification |
|----------------|--------------|-------------------------------|
| Security lead  | 4            | 4 (CISSP)                     |
| Risk analyst   | 4            | 3 (CRISC in progress)         |
| IT operations  | 3            | 3                             |
```

**skill_gap_calculator report (excerpt):**

```
=== SKILL GAP CALCULATOR (APO07) ===
Result: PASS

Document: skills-matrix-apo07.md
Target capability levels found: 3 (avg 3.7).
Current levels/certifications found: 3 (avg 3.3).
Delta: current meets or exceeds target.
No skill gap or levels not fully specified.
```

## Getting Started

Add your role list, current certifications, and target capability levels (e.g. from ISMS or COBIT) to the project workspace, then activate the *SFIA Competency Mapper (COBIT APO07)* skill. The agent will draft the matrix and run `skill_gap_calculator`; address gaps and re-run as you update data.
