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.

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 | $0.00861 | $0.00861 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00344 | $0.00344 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00172 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
cc-sdd CLAUDE.md 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to cc-sdd AGENTS.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Agentic SDLC and Spec-Driven Development
Kiro-style Spec-Driven Development on an agentic SDLC
Project Context
Paths
- Steering:
.kiro/steering/ - Specs:
.kiro/specs/
Steering vs Specification
Steering (.kiro/steering/) - Guide AI with project-wide rules and context
Specs (.kiro/specs/) - Formalize development process for individual features
Active Specifications
- Check
.kiro/specs/for active specifications - Use
/kiro-spec-status [feature-name]to check progress
Development Guidelines
- Think in English, generate responses in English. All Markdown content written to project files (e.g., requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md, research.md, validation reports) MUST be written in the target language configured for this specification (see spec.json.language).
Minimal Workflow
- Phase 0 (optional):
/kiro-steering,/kiro-steering-custom - Discovery:
/kiro-discovery "idea"— determines action path, writes brief.md + roadmap.md for multi-spec projects - Phase 1 (Specification):
- Single spec:
/kiro-spec-quick {feature} [--auto]or step by step:/kiro-spec-init "description"/kiro-spec-requirements {feature}/kiro-validate-gap {feature}(optional: for existing codebase)/kiro-spec-design {feature} [-y]/kiro-validate-design {feature}(optional: design review)/kiro-spec-tasks {feature} [-y]
- Multi-spec:
/kiro-spec-batch— creates all specs from roadmap.md in parallel by dependency wave
- Single spec:
- Phase 2 (Implementation):
/kiro-impl {feature} [tasks]- Without task numbers: autonomous mode (subagent per task + independent review + final validation)
- With task numbers: manual mode (selected tasks only in main context)
/kiro-validate-impl {feature}(standalone re-validation)
- Progress check:
/kiro-spec-status {feature}(use anytime)
Skills Structure
Skills are located in .claude/skills/kiro-*/SKILL.md
- Each skill is a directory with a
SKILL.mdfile - Skills run inline with access to conversation context
- Skills may delegate parallel research to subagents for efficiency
- Additional files (templates, examples) can be added to skill directories
kiro-review— task-local adversarial review protocol used by reviewer subagentskiro-debug— root-cause-first debug protocol used by debugger subagentskiro-verify-completion— fresh-evidence gate before success or completion claims- Use skills explicitly requested by the user and skills relevant to the task's domain, including design, accessibility, and UX.
- Select skills from their descriptions or metadata first, then read only the selected skills and the references needed for the task.
- Follow explicit host and project rules and retain required workflow checks. Do not skip relevant skills just because the task is small.
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.

cc-sdd CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository gotalab/cc-sdd (3,741 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 861 tokens to every session, about $0.0034 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to cc-sdd AGENTS.md, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
