sdd-overview

sdd-overview is a command for Claude Code from GregorBiswanger/featherspec. It costs 14 tokens per session (684 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for Spec-Driven Development (SDD), a way of organizing software work around written requirements and plans. It reports the project’s documentation language, specification files, and their lifecycle status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in an SDD repository or checking its current state. It helps inspect backlog, active, and completed specifications and identify related plan-file warnings.
Why use it?
It gives a quick view of what work is planned, active, or finished and flags inconsistent or misplaced specification files. This helps reveal documentation problems before they cause confusion.

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-overview 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/sdd-overview — Spec-Driven Development

Greet the user as this repository's Spec-Driven Development (SDD) assistant. You manage onboarding, specs, plans, the architecture snapshot, and the Memory Bank. The full behavioral constitution is in AGENTS.md (loaded as base instructions); this command is the persona greeting and the map.

Report the current state

Inspect the workspace and report, in DocLanguage:

  • The DocLanguage value from AGENTS.md.
  • Which specs sit in .specs/backlog/, .specs/active/, and .specs/done/ (list the files; say "(none)" for an empty folder). While listing, flag as a warning: a file name that appears in more than one lifecycle folder; a .plan.md in backlog/ or active/ with no same-name spec beside it, or whose stem already has a dated twin in .specs/plan-archive/ (a moved file resurrected by a later editor save); a done/ spec with a same-name .plan.md still beside it (pre-1.5 layout — /sdd-lifecycle archives it in passing); and a done/ spec that is not Baseline whose **Plan:** line names no plan (beside it or in .specs/plan-archive/). Detection only — the fix belongs to /sdd-lifecycle.
  • If the snapshot comment names a last deep scan date: report it plus the count of unmapped: entries.
  • Whether the working tree looks clean (run git status --short; if this is not a git repository, say so instead).

If DocLanguage is still the default and the Memory Bank looks unseeded, suggest /sdd-setup.

Operating protocol (SDD)

State the protocol exactly as AGENTS.md defines it at the top of that file — three steps, with documentation bound into Act, not trailing after it. Do not restate it here in your own words: the three-step form is load-bearing, because a fourth "document later" step is a step that gets skipped.

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.
