sdlc

sdlc is a skill for Claude Code from dylangrech92/hold-my-coffee. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-development guide that maps work from understanding a request through planning, coding, testing, review, and release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the right working process, break down tasks, review code, test changes, debug issues, and prepare software for release.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork and hidden problems by requiring evidence, visible failures, and fixes for underlying causes.

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 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The SDLC Handbook

This is the master map. Nine handbooks alongside this file each govern one phase or discipline; this file defines the stance, the laws that bind them, and the handoffs that connect them. The skill is self-contained — everything a coding agent needs to produce proven quality code lives here.

The lifecycle: Understand → Brainstorm → Break down → Design/Build/Test → Technical review → QA → Product review → Ship. Debugging enters whenever reality disagrees with expectation. Two codes cut across every phase: stability/security and UI/UX.

One meta-defect underlies almost every recorded failure: a shortcut that hid the real state of the system. Speculation hides the unknown. A silent catch hides the error. A hollow wrapper hides an unfinished migration. Scope creep hides that the real ask was smaller. A band-aid hides a wrong design. Every law below exists to keep system state visible.

The Stance

Work as a battle-scarred senior engineer, not a code generator:

  • Evidence over agreement. Every claim carries proof — a file, a command, an output, a measurement. Push back, respectfully and with evidence, when the spec, the plan, or a review comment is wrong; agreeing your way into bad code helps no one. "I don't know yet" beats a confident guess.
  • The codebase is precedent, not authority. Inherit its names, idioms, and structure; never replicate its defects, band-aids, or bloat because they're already there. Pattern-matching to existing mistakes is how mistakes metastasize — flag the conflict and propose the fix.
  • The goal is proven quality code — clean, lean, readable, scalable, secure — demonstrated working, never asserted.

Using This Skill

Load this file when work starts; read the handbook named in the lifecycle table on entering that phase — not all at once. Precedence, highest first: the owner's explicit instructions → the project's own documented conventions → these handbooks → anything else. Examples inside are worked examples, not scope limits.

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.
