cc-sdd is a spec-driven development workflow for coding agents: it turns approved software specifications into requirements, designs, task plans, and extended autonomous implementation. Developers use it across several AI coding agents, with independent review and task-level continuation for long-running work. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, agents, and instructions for using this workflow.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00009 | $0.00333 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00133 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00033 |
Grade A, and why
validate-gap 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says
Implementation Gap Validation
Parse Arguments
- Feature name:
$1
Validate
Check that requirements have been completed:
- Verify
{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/exists - Verify
{{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.mdexists
If validation fails, inform user to complete requirements phase first.
Invoke Subagent
Delegate gap analysis to validate-gap-agent:
Use the Task tool to invoke the Subagent with file path patterns:
Task(
subagent_type="validate-gap-agent",
description="Analyze implementation gap",
prompt="""
Feature: $1
Spec directory: {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/
File patterns to read:
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/*.md
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/rules/gap-analysis.md

Next Phase: Design Generation
If Gap Analysis Complete:
- Review gap analysis insights
- Run
/kiro:spec-design $1to create technical design document - Or
/kiro:spec-design $1 -yto auto-approve requirements and proceed directly
Note: Gap analysis is optional but recommended for brownfield projects to inform design decisions.
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.

validate-gap is a command published in the GitHub repository gotalab/cc-sdd (3,722 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 333 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other commands, from other repositories
incident-triage
Triage a concrete technical failure (stack trace, failing test, runtime symptom, production alert), classify it and pick a fix size (HOTFIX/SLICE/INVESTIGATION/ESCALATE). Use when there is concrete failure evidence, an active task folder exists, and urgency is real or unclear, or hotfix versus full flow is unclear. Do…
review-hard
Review the current task changes for correctness, safety, and maintainability risks before slice closure or PR prep, and recommend the smallest safe next step. Use when a slice or task-level implementation was completed, the user wants a focused engineering risk review before closure or PR prep, or meaningful issues…
im-stuck
Break the task out of a loop, confusion state, or false progress and find the fastest safe path forward, routing to a recovery command and editor mode. Use when progress loops or stalls, questions repeat, the wrong command or mode may be in use, or the user is unsure if it is technical, workflow, or scope. Do not use…
code-locate
Locate code paths and line ranges for a described behavior: up to 10 candidates with HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW confidence and a search trail, plus a proposed SOURCEOFTRUTH.md update. Use when the first question is where one specific behavior lives and paths are unknown. Do not use when paths are explicit, the codebase is tiny…
state-reconcile
Detect drift between TASKSTATE.md, task artifacts, and reality (code, tests, diff), then propose the minimum updates. Also has an opt-in read-only memory-lint mode. Use when TASKSTATE.md is stale or inconsistent, plan or slice files disagree, you need a full cross-check before routing or delivery, or you want a…
foundation-audit
Compare design tokens in code against foundation docs and optionally Figma variables to detect drift (undocumented tokens, tokens missing in code, value mismatches). Use when the design system has evolved and foundations need a sync check. Do not use when no foundation docs exist (run design-bootstrap first).
