SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The SDD Pipeline Status skill provides a concise, authoritative view of the current pipeline progress for a Claude Code project, including which stages are complete, which artifacts exist, and recommended next actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read and interpret the pipeline state from pipeline-state.json to determine current status and readiness.
  • Verify required artifacts for each stage (e.g., requirements, specs, audits, tests, plans, task definitions, and implementation outputs) are present.
  • Detect stale conditions by comparing timestamps and flag downstream stages that may be affected by upstream changes.
  • Generate a clear status report that can be shared with stakeholders and used to guide next steps in the pipeline.

Quick Start

Run /sdd:pipeline-status to fetch the latest pipeline status for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check SDD pipeline status and verify stage artifacts?

To check SDD pipeline status, read pipeline-state.json and verify that required artifacts for each stage, such as requirements, specs, and audits, are present.

How does staleness detection work for downstream pipeline stages?

Staleness detection works by comparing timestamps of pipeline artifacts to flag downstream stages that may be affected by upstream changes.

What is the best way to generate a pipeline status report for stakeholders?

The best way to generate a pipeline status report is to read pipeline-state.json, verify stage artifacts, detect staleness, and produce a structured summary of progress.

Can I use pipeline status reporting across all SDD pipeline stages?

Yes, pipeline status reporting applies across all SDD stages including requirements-engineer, specifications-engineer, spec-auditor, test-planner, plan-architect, task-generator, and task-implementer.

Why does my pipeline status show inconsistent artifacts across stages?

Pipeline status shows inconsistent artifacts when required outputs for stages are missing, or when staleness detection flags downstream stages affected by upstream changes.
