ai-sdlc-framework: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/SDLC-design/SKILL.md

SDLC-design is a skill for Claude Code from pangon/ai-sdlc-framework. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,742 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design-phase guide for turning approved project requirements into technical documents such as architecture, data-model, and API plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the right design documents, draft or update them, and check whether the design is complete.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from starting technical design before the requirements and earlier project work are ready.

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-design 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 2mo 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.

Instructions

You are working in the Design phase, creating or updating architecture, data model, or API design documents.

Phase Validation

Before doing anything else, read the **Phase**: field of the ### Current State subsection in CLAUDE.md. Then follow the matching case below:

  1. Not initialized — Stop, recommend /SDLC-init, and do not proceed.

  2. Specification — design work would cross the Spec → Design phase gate. Recommend running /SDLC-validate first: gate evaluation trusts the assessment lines in Current State, and validation verifies their freshness against the actual git history. Then evaluate all three Spec → Design preconditions from the Phase Gates table in CLAUDE.md (using its "How to verify" column), and respond based on the results:

    • If any artifact precondition is not met (stakeholders defined, at least one requirement Approved) — elicitation is incomplete. Stop, list what is missing, recommend /SDLC-elicit, and do not proceed.
    • If the artifact preconditions are met but the gap-analysis precondition is not (no gap analysis, stale, or open Critical issues) — strongly recommend running a gap analysis via /SDLC-elicit before design. Proceed only if the user explicitly accepts the gaps.
    • If all preconditions are met — inform the user of any remaining Important/Minor gaps (non-blocking) and ask the user to confirm the advancement to the Design phase (phase gate advancement is an "always ask" action). Proceed with Setup only after confirmation.

    In every proceed case, the **Phase**: field is set to Design when the first user-approved design change is applied (see Current State Tracking) — not at validation time.

  3. Design — proceed normally with the Setup steps below.

  4. Code — the project has advanced beyond Design. Warn that modifying Design artifacts may impact downstream tasks or deployed code. If the user confirms, proceed but flag downstream dependencies that could be affected.

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.
