When should I avoid using the SDD skill?

It is not recommended for simple bug fixes or one-line changes, as the overhead of creating specifications and plans is better suited for larger features and new projects.

Does this skill require external tools or dependencies?

No, it is a standalone workflow that functions directly within the Claude Code environment using local file structures and directory management.

Where are the SDD artifacts stored?

All specifications, plans, and task lists are stored in a local `.sdd/` directory within your project, ensuring your documentation lives alongside your source code.

What is Spec-Driven Development (SDD)?

SDD is a methodology where development starts with a formal specification focused on the 'what' and 'why' before moving to technical planning (the 'how') and final implementation.

How does it integrate with Superpowers?

Once tasks are generated, the skill can convert them into a Superpowers-compatible plan format, allowing for automated batch execution and systematic code reviews.

生产力与工作流

Orchestrates a specification-first development workflow within Claude Code to transform requirements into production-ready code.

Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is a standalone methodology designed for Claude Code that enforces a structured workflow starting with detailed specifications. By separating the 'what' and 'why' from the 'how,' it ensures that features are well-defined before implementation begins. The skill automatically manages a dedicated directory structure to store specifications, technical plans, and task lists, providing a clear audit trail and reducing errors during complex feature development or greenfield projects. It effectively bridges the gap between high-level ideas and executable code through a disciplined, phase-based approach.
