sdd

sdd is a skill for Claude Code from RobinNorberg/oh-my-copilot. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,054 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of sdd, MIT.

A workflow for Spec-Driven Development, a way to define a feature before coding it. It turns an interview into a specification and acceptance criteria, makes a plan, and then carries out the work test first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and build a feature through a specification, acceptance criteria, implementation plan, and tests. It stores each feature's work in its own project folder.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity about what a feature must do before implementation begins. The required plan and tests help keep coding aligned with agreed behavior.

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 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 2d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SDD (lite)

Interview → Spec+AC → Plan → Test-first execute. Artifacts live in spec/<slug>/ at project root (one folder per feature). No implementation code before spec/<slug>/plan.md is approved.

If args start with full: read and follow phases/spec.md, phases/criteria.md, phases/rules.md, phases/review.md, phases/tasks.md, phases/execute.md (relative to this skill's directory) in that order, confirming with the user after each artifact. Pick the slug as in Entry; every phase writes to spec/<slug>/. Then stop reading this file.

Entry

  1. git status --short --branch; list spec/*/.
  2. Pick the slug (kebab-case, max 40 chars, descriptive of the feature):
    • On a feature branch, use the branch name without the prefix (feat/csv-export → csv-export) if spec/<that>/ exists or the task matches it.
    • Otherwise derive it from the task (add CSV export of reports → csv-report-export) and show it to the user in the first message so they can correct it.
    • If several spec/*/ folders exist and the task is unclear, ask which one to resume via AskUserQuestion.
  3. Resume at the first missing artifact in spec/<slug>/ and say where you resume.
  4. Task text comes from args or the user's message. Ask only if there is none.
  5. Skip the flow for tasks prefixed quick:.

1. Interview (no file yet)

  • Read the code first; never ask what the code answers.
  • One question at a time via AskUserQuestion: 2-4 concrete options, a recommended pick, one-line reason why it matters.
  • Ask only if the answer changes behavior, scope, or a safe assumption. Otherwise decide and record it as an assumption.
  • Stop when an implementer would have no questions left. Typically 3-7 questions; more means the task should be split.

2. Spec → spec/<slug>/spec.md

One file, short:

  • Summary (2-3 sentences)
  • Decisions and assumptions (bullets, with the reason)
  • Out of scope
  • Acceptance criteria: AC-1, AC-2, ... one observable outcome each, EARS form: When <trigger>, the <system> shall <response>. / If <bad trigger>, then the <system> shall <response>. / While <state>, ...
    • Bounded values: three ACs (inside, at, beyond the bound).
    • Error paths: state the response and whether it is all-or-nothing.
    • No implementation details, no "fast"/"correct" without a number.

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.
