A status-checking guide for SDD, a workflow that manages software requirements and implementation plans. It inspects the .ai/sdd workspace without changing its files.

Use it to check SDD progress, blockers, readiness, and the next step when explicitly reviewing an SDD workspace.

It shows what SDD documents exist, which work is approved or still being drafted, what is blocked, and what action is safe next.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00062	$0.01123
Opus 5	$0.00031	$0.00562
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00225
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00112

Security

Grade A, and why

sdd-status 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SDD Status

Inspect the SDD workspace and report current progress, blockers, and next actions.

Purpose

STATUS gives operational visibility across .ai/sdd/ without changing artifacts. It helps the user understand what exists, what is approved, what is still draft, what is blocked, and what the next safe SDD step should be. Treat it as an explicit utility command, not as a semantic auto-loaded skill for ordinary SDD authoring.

Workflow

Load the SDD reference.
- Read ../_shared/references/sdd-practical.md.
- Apply the Language Policy: respond and write artifacts in the user's initial chat language while keeping skill instructions and templates in EN-US.
- Use package-level templates/sdd-index.md as the dashboard reference when useful.
- Load relevant .ai/steering/*.md files only if they help explain project context; do not summarize steering unless useful.
- Treat .ai/strategy/handoff/strategy-brief.md as optional upstream context and .ai/sdd/handoff/sdd-brief.md as optional downstream handoff output.
Inspect the workspace.
- Check whether .ai/sdd/ exists.
- Check .ai/sdd/INDEX.md if present.
- Check .ai/sdd/PLAN.md if present.
- Check .ai/strategy/handoff/strategy-brief.md if present and report it as an available upstream handoff.
- Check .ai/sdd/handoff/sdd-brief.md if present and report its readiness/status summary.
- List .ai/sdd/ideas/*.md if present.
- List .ai/sdd/specs/*/ directories.
- For each spec directory, read .status when present.
- For each spec directory, note presence of requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md, review.md, and decisions.md.
- Compute the next feature ID from actual spec directories using the shared Feature Workspace Identity algorithm; report it as informational only.
- Flag duplicate numeric prefixes, non-canonical spec directory names, missing .status, and invalid .status values.
Assess gates.
- Identify specs that are ready for PRD, SPEC, TASKS, EXEC, or REVIEW.
- Identify specs blocked by missing artifacts, draft statuses, or missing approvals.
- Identify implementation specs with incomplete tasks when tasks.md exists.
- Identify specs whose .status conflicts with existing artifacts.

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.

sdd-status is a skill published in the GitHub repository felipefontoura/pi-sdd-kit (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,123 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
