SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates the Specification-Driven Development workflow, auto-routing between phases, validating prerequisites, and updating plans/todos as phases complete.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent detection and routing to correct phase (e.g., /feature, /plan, /audit)
  • Prerequisite validation via sdd-coordinator
  • Automatic phase chaining and post-phase sync
  • Error handling and fallback for blockers

Quick Start

Announce: "I'm using the SDD orchestrator skill to manage your development workflow." To start, trigger an SDD action like /feature 'description' or '/plan specs/NNN-feature/spec.md'. The orchestrator routes to the FIRST phase command and manages auto-chaining.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a specification-driven development workflow with phase routing?

SDD Orchestrator automates phase routing by detecting your intent, validating prerequisites, and sequentially triggering the correct phase commands—feature definition, planning, auditing, or implementation—while maintaining artifact synchronization across phases.

What is Specification-Driven Development and when should I use it?

Specification-Driven Development (SDD) is a workflow that routes development through distinct phases: feature specification, constitution generation, planning, auditing, and implementation. Use it when you need structured handoffs, enforced prerequisites, and automated coordination between phases.

How do I start an SDD workflow and trigger the correct phase automatically?

Announce the SDD orchestrator, then trigger an action like /feature with a description or /plan with a spec path. The orchestrator detects your intent, routes to the first applicable phase, executes it, syncs outputs, and chains to the next phase automatically.

What happens if prerequisites aren't met before a phase runs?

The orchestrator validates prerequisites via sdd-coordinator before routing to each phase. If prerequisites fail, it halts execution and logs the blocker, preventing downstream phases from running with incomplete inputs.

Can I use SDD Orchestrator to integrate other workflow tools into my development pipeline?

Yes. SDD Orchestrator coordinates phase commands and maintains event logging and post-phase sync, enabling integration of supporting skills and tools across the specification, planning, audit, and implementation phases.
