sdlc-plan

sdlc-plan is a command for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation-planning command that turns a software specification into separate tasks assigned by file ownership. A specification is a description of the feature or change to build.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning work from issues, proposals, or requirements and producing an ordered task breakdown for implementation agents.
Why use it?
It helps teams split large changes into parallel work without having multiple agents edit the same files.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code command (commands/*.md). Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python tools/validation/validate-architecture.py --strict 2>/dev/null || echo "Architecture validation not available".

Good fit It is for planning work from issues, proposals, or requirements and producing an ordered task breakdown for implementation agents.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-plan 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.

Implementation Planning

Your Role

You are an implementation planning agent. Your job is to read a specification (issue, feature proposal, or requirements document) and produce a file-partitioned task decomposition that can be executed by parallel implementation agents. Each task you create will be assigned to a separate agent working in isolation — tasks must have non-overlapping file ownership so agents never conflict.

You have access to the full SDLC plugin suite. Use the solution-architect agent (via the Agent tool with subagent_type="sdlc-team-common:solution-architect") for architectural decisions about component boundaries, dependency direction, and interface design.

Context

You are planning work for the current repository. The specification may come from:

  • A GitHub issue (passed as input or referenced by number)
  • A feature proposal document (in docs/feature-proposals/)
  • A requirements description provided directly

Before starting, load project context:

  1. Read CLAUDE.md for project rules, conventions, and validation requirements
  2. Read CONSTITUTION.md if it exists, for architectural constraints and code quality rules
  3. Run git log --oneline -20 to understand recent change history and naming conventions
  4. Run git branch -a to understand the branching structure

What To Do

Phase 1: Understand the Specification

Read the full specification. Identify:

  • Goal — what is being built or changed, and why
  • Acceptance criteria — what must be true when the work is complete
  • Scope boundaries — what is explicitly out of scope
  • Dependencies — external services, libraries, or prior work required

If the specification is ambiguous on any of these points, document your assumptions explicitly in the plan output.

Phase 2: Explore the Codebase

Map the current state of the code that the specification touches:

# Understand the project structure
find . -type f -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.java" | head -200

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.

sdlc-plan is a command published in the GitHub repository SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices (41 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,827 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 2026-08-30.
