What is Spec-Driven Development (SDD)?

SDD is a development methodology where technical requirements, design patterns, and acceptance criteria are fully documented and approved before any code is written.

Is this skill limited to specific programming languages?

No, this skill is part of a universal development standard and is completely language-agnostic, making it suitable for any software project.

How does the review command work?

The /sdd review command analyzes your existing specification documents for clarity, completeness, and consistency to ensure they are ready for the implementation phase.

Does this skill help with software testing?

Yes, every spec generated includes a dedicated Test Plan section to outline unit and integration tests, ensuring verification is built into the development process.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. You can use it to document existing features for better maintenance or to manage the rollout of new features within an established codebase.

Collaboration Tools

Standardizes the software development lifecycle by creating, reviewing, and managing comprehensive technical specifications before implementation.

The Spec-Driven Development (SDD) skill empowers developers to adopt a 'spec-first' approach, ensuring that requirements, technical designs, and acceptance criteria are fully defined before a single line of code is written. By guiding users through a structured workflow of creation, review, and approval, it reduces technical debt, improves stakeholder alignment, and provides a clear roadmap for implementation and verification across any programming language or framework.
