How do I check the status of my spec-driven development workflow?▼

To check your spec-driven development workflow status, run the status command to scan for research, design, proposal, and verification artifacts, reporting current progress and recommending the next workflow action.

What artifacts are required for a complete spec-driven development change?▼

A complete spec-driven development change requires the presence of research.md, proposal.md, and verify.md artifacts to provide a full picture of the research, proposal, and verification phases.

How do I know the next step in my SDD workflow?▼

To determine the next step in your SDD workflow, the status assessment evaluates existing artifacts and recommends the appropriate action: completing research, designing, proposing, applying changes, verifying, or archiving.
