SDD Next

About

SDD Next bridges the gap between high-level planning and active coding within a Spec Driven Development (SDD) framework. It automates the discovery of project specifications, helps select the most logical next steps based on dependencies, and prepares comprehensive implementation plans that respect human checkpoints. Whether operating in a manual 'single task' mode or an 'autonomous' loop, it ensures that Claude remains grounded in the project's lifecycle, respects context limits via session markers, and maintains a detailed journal of progress across spec-defined phases.

Key Features

• Context-aware planning using sibling files, parent metadata, and task dependencies
• Dual work modes for manual task approval or autonomous phase completion
• Sequential context threshold monitoring using session markers to manage token usage
• 3 GitHub stars
• Integrated task journaling and dependency gating for consistent implementation
• Automated task discovery and prioritization based on spec lifecycle status

Use Cases

• Transitioning from a design specification to a structured implementation plan
• Managing complex multi-phase development cycles with strict dependency tracking
• Automating the identification of the next actionable task in a large-scale project
