HDD Generate

To generate design docs in a wave-driven workflow, this Skill automates artifact production in ordered waves aligned to dependency graphs, enforcing frontmatter validation and mandatory human approval before proceeding to the next wave.

A wave-based design document generation process produces iterative design artifacts sequentially, updating the dependency graph and requiring human-in-the-loop review between each wave to ensure outputs remain coherent as requirements evolve.

To start generating HDD design documents for a greenfield project, ensure requirement documents and an hdd.yaml file exist, then run the generate command for Wave 1 and obtain human approval before advancing.

Yes, you need an hdd.yaml file present in your project. The Skill checks for prerequisites including the hdd.yaml configuration and existing requirement documents before allowing wave progression to begin.

Dependencies are validated during iterative design document generation by checking frontmatter and dependency rules after each wave, then refreshing the design-dependency graph to maintain coherence across subsequent generation waves.

No, you cannot skip human approval gates. The workflow coordinates generate, validate, scan, and human-in-the-loop steps, mandating explicit HITL approval between waves to ensure controlled progression.
