sdd-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/sdd-implement/SKILL.md

sdd-implement is a skill for Claude Code from yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for implementing approved software tasks with tests, design principles, security checks, and code-quality reviews. TDD means writing a failing test first, then the smallest code change that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check implementation tasks, follow a test-first workflow, review security, and verify code quality.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn approved specifications into tested, maintainable, and safer code.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sdd-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sdd-mcp configures →

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-implement 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.

SDD Implementation Guidelines

Execute implementation following TDD methodology, SOLID principles, and security best practices.

Prerequisites

Before implementing:

  1. Tasks must be approved (use sdd-status to verify)
  2. Review tasks in .spec/specs/{feature}/tasks.md
  3. Understand the design in .spec/specs/{feature}/design.md

Implementation Workflow

Step 1: Load Context

  1. Use sdd-status MCP tool to verify all phases approved
  2. Read the tasks document for current implementation
  3. Identify the next task to implement

Step 2: Execute TDD Cycle

For each task:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  1. RED: Write Failing Test                                 │
│     - Define expected behavior                              │
│     - Run test, confirm it FAILS                           │
│                                                             │
│  2. GREEN: Write Minimal Code                               │
│     - Just enough to pass the test                         │
│     - No extra features                                     │
│     - Run test, confirm it PASSES                          │
│                                                             │
│  3. REFACTOR: Improve Code                                  │
│     - Clean up without changing behavior                    │
│     - Run tests, confirm still PASSING                     │
│                                                             │
│  REPEAT for each test case                                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Step 3: Apply SOLID Principles

S - Single Responsibility Principle
// GOOD: One class, one job
class UserValidator {
  validate(user: User): ValidationResult { ... }
}

class UserRepository {
  save(user: User): Promise<void> { ... }
}

// BAD: Class doing too much
class UserManager {
  validate(user: User) { ... }
  save(user: User) { ... }
  sendEmail(user: User) { ... }
  generateReport() { ... }
}

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-implement is a skill published in the GitHub repository yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,943 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
