sdlc-channel

sdlc-channel is a command for coding agents from MCKRUZ/claude-code-sdlc. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for attaching a delivery channel, such as a web or conversational interface, to a software specification and adding channel-specific acceptance checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after breaking down and describing a feature to update its specification, set the channel, add interaction context, and run the related checks.
Why use it?
It turns general requirements into checks that match the way users will actually interact with the feature, while keeping a human in the approval step.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

sdlc-channel 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.

/sdlc-channel — Bind a Spec to Its Channel and Inject the Acceptance Dimensions

Bind one spec to its delivery channel and overlay that channel's acceptance dimensions onto the spec's existing ## Acceptance Checks. This is the bind beat after /sdlc-feature (decompose) and /sdlc-experience (author): decompose → author → bind. It reads the channel descriptor and the Phase-2 interaction spec, injects concrete checks, seeds harness_context, sets the channel: field, then runs the advisory check_channel.py beside the byte-for-byte-unchanged check_spec.py. Interview-driven like /sdlc-coach at the confirmation step: the command proposes the overlay; a named human decides. Command-only — it orchestrates the descriptors and the experience artifacts; it spawns no discipline agent of its own (though it may compose the visual-designer/conversation-designer if the interaction spec is missing). Works inside an SDLC project or standalone.

Instructions

  1. Resolve context:

    • Workflow mode (default): .sdlc/state.yaml exists. The repo root is the directory containing .sdlc/; the interaction spec is .sdlc/artifacts/02-design/experience/channel-interaction-spec.md; metrics log to .sdlc/metrics/channel-log.jsonl.
    • Standalone mode (--repo <path>, or no .sdlc/ found): operate on the given repo with provisional context; take the interaction spec from --interaction-spec if given.
  2. Resolve the target spec and its channel: Take the spec from --spec (required if ambiguous) and the channel from --channel, the spec's channel: field, or the feature-brief row (ask if none). If the spec already sets a different channel:, stop and confirm with the human — a spec is one channel.

  3. Load the descriptor and the interaction spec: Read channels/<channel>.yaml for the channel's Acceptance Dimensions (id / intent / example_check), harness_context_seed, and risk_floor. Read the Phase-2 channel-interaction-spec.md if present — its dimension → contract → acceptance-check rows are the concrete, feature-specific checks to inject. If neither the descriptor nor the interaction spec exists, tell the human to add the descriptor (channels/_template.yamlvalidate_channel.py) or run /sdlc-experience first.

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.

sdlc-channel is a command published in the GitHub repository MCKRUZ/claude-code-sdlc (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,562 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
