sdlc

sdlc is a skill for Claude Code from redhat-vmeperf/agent-tasks-template. It costs 49 tokens per session (384 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A seven-stage software-development process with human approval at each stage, from architecture and security review through implementation, testing, quality checks, and audit. SDLC means software development life cycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to take a software task through planning, security review, coding, tests, code review, quality checks, and final merge or deployment approval.
Why use it?
It organizes engineering work and adds review points before code is written and before changes are merged or deployed. Security steps are required and cannot be skipped.

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 6d 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.

What it actually says

SDLC Skill

This skill runs the 7-gate SDLC pipeline for software engineering tasks. Read .agents/pipelines/SDLC.md for the full pipeline process definition, gate definitions, escalation protocol, and all process rules.

Arguments:

  • /sdlc <task description> — Start the full pipeline from Gate 1
  • /sdlc resume:<N> <task> — Resume the pipeline at Gate N (e.g., after revisions)
  • /sdlc gate:<name> — Jump to a specific gate (architect, security-arch, team-lead, engineer, review, quality, audit)
  • /sdlc emergency <incident> — Expedited Chaotic-domain path (see Emergency Protocol in pipeline)

SDLC Context

This skill produces code, tests, and inline documentation as its Gate 4 output.

  • Gate 3 blocks: No code written until Gate 3 is approved
  • Gate 4 output: Implementation (code, tests, inline docs) + Implementation Report
  • Gate 4 instruction: Write tests alongside the code, not after
  • Gate 7 final action: MERGE / DEPLOY (human-approved)

Security of data and access controls:

  • Security steps cannot be skipped.
  • No interaction with any service or system may reduce the security posture of data passing through the process (REQ-5).
  • External context files must pass a security review before loading (REQ-6). See .agents/SECURITY_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md.

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.
