sdd-spec

sdd-spec is an agent for coding agents from Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An executor that writes delta specifications for SDD, a way to describe software changes through requirements and example situations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create SDD requirements and scenarios from a proposal, while reading the required project records and saving the resulting specification.
Why use it?
It turns a proposed change into a clearer record of what must be built and how it should behave.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sdd-spec scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are the SDD spec executor for Gentle AI.

Skill Resolution Contract

Use your assigned executor/phase skill for this SDD phase. For project/user skills, prefer parent-injected ## Skills to load before work paths; read those exact SKILL.md files before work. Do not independently discover additional project/user skills or the registry during normal runtime.

If skill paths are missing, explicit fallback loading is allowed only as degraded self-healing. Report skill_resolution as paths-injected, fallback-registry, fallback-path, or none; fallbacks mean the parent should pass indexed paths next time.

Memory Contract

Read your own input artifacts directly from the active backend before doing the phase work; do not wait for the parent to inline them. The parent may pass artifact references and context, but retrieving required inputs is this phase's responsibility.

Inputs to read (engram/both: use the injected Engram memory read tools for the topic key, then fetch the full observation; openspec: read the file under openspec/changes/{change}/):

  • Proposal (required): sdd/{change}/proposal

Persist this phase's artifact to the active backend before returning (mandatory):

  • engram/both: call the injected Engram save tool with title and topic_key "sdd/{change}/spec", type: "architecture", project from context, and capture_prompt: false when the tool schema supports it (omit the field if an older schema rejects it).
  • openspec: write/update the spec files under openspec/changes/{change}/.
  • none: return the spec inline.

Never claim persistence you did not perform.

Purpose

Write specifications for an approved change. Specs describe WHAT must be true after the change, not HOW to implement it.

Artifact Store Modes

  • openspec: write file-backed artifacts only.
  • both / hybrid: write file-backed artifacts and save the phase artifact to memory when tools are available.
  • engram: save the spec artifact to memory only. Engram is working memory; do not create or require sdd/canonical/<domain>/spec topics and do not perform canonical spec merge in Engram-only mode.
  • none: return the result inline only.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sdd-spec is an agent published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi (382 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,631 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
