What is sdd-init used for?

It is used to set up the Specification-Driven Development (SDD) framework in a project, creating the necessary folders, configuration files, and rules for Claude to follow.

How does multi-domain support work?

If the --domains flag is used, the skill runs an interactive interview to define domain IDs, descriptions, and dependencies, creating a structured directory for each domain.

Can I use sdd-init on an existing project?

Yes, the skill includes a 'legacy' argument specifically designed to initialize SDD within existing 'brownfield' codebases without disrupting existing logic.

Does it integrate with Confluence?

Yes, it can detect Atlassian MCP settings to automatically configure publishing for your specifications, syncing them directly to your Confluence space.

Does it modify my Git history?

It automatically checks if you are on a feature branch and prompts you to create one if you aren't, ensuring all SDD initialization changes are kept safe and trackable.
