sdlc-setup

sdlc-setup is a command for Claude Code from MCKRUZ/claude-code-sdlc. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,417 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup wizard for adding software-development lifecycle tracking to a project. It creates the project structure and lets you choose rules for stacks such as .NET, Angular, Azure, or Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize or upgrade the project’s lifecycle-tracking files, choose a development profile, and set requirements such as SOC 2 checks, test-driven development (writing tests before code), and minimum test coverage.
Why use it?
It gives the project a defined process for planning, building, testing, and reviewing work. It also checks whether setup already exists before changing anything.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-setup 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 9d 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-setup — Interactive Setup Wizard

Initialize SDLC lifecycle management for a project.

Instructions

Step 1: Check Existing Setup

Look for .sdlc/state.yaml in the current directory.

  • If exists: warn the user that SDLC is already initialized. Ask if they want to view status (/sdlc-status) or re-initialize (destructive — requires confirmation).
  • If exists but missing .sdlc/context/ directory: offer to upgrade the project structure by creating the missing context/layers/ directory. This is non-destructive — it only adds new directories, doesn't modify existing state or artifacts. Run: mkdir -p .sdlc/context/layers
  • If not exists: proceed with setup.

Step 2: Profile Selection

List available profiles from the plugin's profiles/ directory (exclude _schema.yaml):

Present every profile found there to the user. The current built-ins:

  • microsoft-enterprise — C#/.NET 10 + Angular 22 + Azure, SOC 2 compliance, 80% coverage minimum, TDD required
  • ado-enterprise — microsoft-enterprise's stack on Azure Repos + Azure Pipelines (platform: azure-devops); same SOC 2 gates, coverage, and TDD bar
  • ado-enterprise-python — ado-enterprise's Python sibling: FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + React/Redux Toolkit on Azure Repos + Azure Pipelines, Container Apps, SOC 2; prompts PostgreSQL vs Azure SQL at setup
  • starter — Minimal profile, no compliance gates, quick start for any stack
  • creative-tooling — Python/uv-scripts + pytest for creative pipelines (ComfyUI registry/inventory tooling); 80% coverage, TDD + code/security review required, schema- and cross-reference-integrity evaluation criteria, no compliance frameworks

If the directory listing shows profiles not in this list, present those too (describe them from their profile.yaml). Ask the user to select a profile.

Step 3: Project Configuration

Ask the user for:

  • Project name (default: current directory name)
  • Confirm the selected profile settings are appropriate
  • If the selected profile is ado-enterprise-python, also ask: "Database: Azure Database for PostgreSQL (default, idiomatic for Python) or Azure SQL (parity with the .NET enterprise profiles)?" Record the answer — do not edit anything yet (.sdlc/profile.yaml does not exist until Step 4 runs). The engine choice is advisory metadata: nothing mechanical branches on it (pack selection reads stack.backend.language and stack.ci_cd.platform only), the frozen profile carries no checksum guard, stack.database.engine is a free-form string in the profile schema (so Step 9 re-validation passes either value), and Alembic is the migration tool either way.

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.
