What is the SDD Spec Search skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that allows it to search through Spec-Driven Development (SDD) directories to find planning documents, tickets, and design rationales.

How does it use maproom?

It utilizes maproom's vector-search for semantic queries (concepts) and standard search for exact matches (ticket IDs) within the spec directory tree.

What if my spec repository isn't indexed yet?

The skill includes a fallback procedure that uses Grep and Glob tools to search the file system directly, ensuring context is never lost.

Does it work with any directory structure?

While optimized for the standard SDD directory structure (epics, tickets, architecture), it can search any Markdown-heavy specification directory indexed by maproom.

Developer Tools

Searches Spec-Driven Development (SDD) directories for tickets, epics, and architecture decisions using semantic and keyword search.

SDD Spec Search enhances Claude Code with the ability to navigate complex specification directories. By leveraging the maproom engine, it allows developers to find design rationales, historical context, and architectural decisions across tickets and epics without manual file traversal. It bridges the gap between source code and planning documentation, enabling intent-based queries like 'why was this feature designed this way?' or exact ID lookups for specific ticket requirements, ensuring that developers always have the necessary context before modifying code.

Key Features

01Automatic fallback to Grep and Glob when maproom indices are unavailable

02Semantic vector search for intent-based discovery of design rationale

03Environment-aware configuration using the SDD_ROOT_DIR variable

04Full-text search (FTS) for precise ticket ID and heading lookups

05Deep awareness of SDD directory structures including PRDs and architecture docs

060 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Finding the original PRD or architecture decision for a legacy feature

02Searching for similar problem patterns across historical ticket specifications

03Reviewing acceptance criteria and quality strategies during task execution
