What problem does it solve? Starting a feature or refactor without a written problem statement leads to plans built on assumptions. This Skill opens a new spec-driven development cycle by creating a properly dated cycle folder and writing the human's raw request into request.md, keeping the problem separate from any solution. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cycle Folder Creation: Builds a folder named cycles/Q{quarter}{year}/{MMDD}-{slug}/ using the real system date and a kebab-case capability slug. - Request Capture: Writes request.md from a template with Context, Intent, Taste/Constraints, References, and Attachments sections, preserving the human's own wording without inventing content. - State Guardrails: Detects unfinished prior cycles, duplicate folders, and trivial requests (typo fixes, dependency bumps) that do not need a cycle at all. - Use Case: You say "preciso de uma tela com os episódios do paciente em timeline" and the Skill creates cycles/Q32026/0726-episodes-list-webcomponent/request.md with your request written up for your review before any planning begins. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to open a new SDD cycle and describe the feature or problem you want to work on in your own words.
