Project instructions for sdd-mcp, a tool that guides coding work through approved requirements, design, task, and implementation stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing the right workflow for small or formal changes, finding specifications and tests, and routing work to the appropriate model.
Why use it?
They prevent work from skipping review or approval stages and explain where project files belong.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on sdd-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sdd-mcp configures →

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-mcp AGENTS.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.

SDD-MCP Project Guidance

This repository develops sdd-mcp-server, a spec-driven workflow for Claude Code, Codex, and Oh My Pi (OMP).

Workflow

  • Install the chosen host target, reload it, and accept the host's project trust prompt before starting.
  • Small fixes: invoke /skill:simple-task.
  • Formal work: invoke /skill:sdd-requirements <feature-name>, then /skill:sdd-design, /skill:sdd-tasks, and /skill:sdd-implement after each explicit approval.
  • Never cross an unapproved phase. When configured, test-case review is a separate explicit decision before tasks approval.
  • Skills automatically restore durable status and approved compact context. Do not ask users to operate MCP tools or paste workflow JSON.

Repository layout

  • Canonical components: skills/, agents/, rules/, contexts/, hooks/, steering/, templates/.
  • Implementation: src/; focused tests: src/__tests__/.
  • Specifications and project steering: .spec/specs/ and .spec/steering/.
  • Generated native targets are installed under .claude/, .agents/ + .codex/, or .omp/; do not hand-edit generated files.

Model routing

Planning, architecture, review, and security run inline on Sol/medium by default in OMP. Project Sol/xhigh advisors are explicit opt-in.

Claude uses current-turn Opus/Sonnet routing. Codex may use one configured Sol/xhigh custom agent for review and security, after the user chooses once per session.

Review, security, and independent implementation slices ask once per session (inline or project agent). They ask only when agents are installed. Every skill reports agents started, parallelism, configured model/effort, and fallbacks.

Run implementation, TDD, simple tasks, and commits in the parent. Use agents only when at least two genuinely independent implementation slices can run concurrently.

If an advisor is explicitly invoked, allow one specialist without nesting. On model, auth, or agent failure, record one fallback and continue in the parent without retrying.

Changes

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.
