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 | $0.00040 | $0.01470 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00735 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00147 |
Grade A, and why
sdd-steering 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 11d 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 — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SDD Steering Document Generation
Generate project-specific steering documents that provide context and guidance for AI-assisted development.
What Are Steering Documents?
Steering documents are markdown files in .spec/steering/ that provide project-specific context to guide AI interactions. They describe YOUR project's unique characteristics.
Document Types
| Document | Purpose | Content |
|---|---|---|
product.md |
Product context | Vision, users, features, goals |
tech.md |
Technology stack | Languages, frameworks, tools, architecture |
structure.md |
Project conventions | Directory structure, naming, patterns |
custom-*.md |
Custom guidance | Specialized rules for specific contexts |
Workflow
Step 1: Analyze Project
Gather information from:
- Project manifest - Dependencies and metadata (e.g.,
package.json,Cargo.toml,pyproject.toml,pom.xml,go.mod) - Directory structure - Folder organization
- Existing code patterns - Naming conventions, architecture
- Documentation - README, existing docs
- Build configuration - Build tools, scripts, CI/CD
Step 2: Generate Product Steering
Create .spec/steering/product.md:
# Product Overview
## Description
{Project description from manifest or analysis}
## Vision
{Long-term product vision}
## Target Users
- **Primary:** {Main user persona}
- **Secondary:** {Other user types}
## Core Features
1. {Feature 1} - {Brief description}
2. {Feature 2} - {Brief description}
## Key Value Propositions
- {Value 1}
- {Value 2}
## Success Metrics
- {Metric 1}: {Target}
- {Metric 2}: {Target}
Step 3: Generate Tech Steering
Create .spec/steering/tech.md:
# Technology Overview
## Stack
### Language
- **Primary:** {e.g., TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java}
- **Version:** {e.g., 5.x, 3.11, 1.21}
- **Runtime:** {if applicable, e.g., Node.js, JVM, .NET}
### Frameworks
- {Framework 1}: {Purpose}
- {Framework 2}: {Purpose}
### Key Dependencies
| Package | Version | Purpose |
|---------|---------|---------|
| {dep1} | {version} | {why used} |
## Architecture
### Pattern
{e.g., Clean Architecture, MVC, Microservices, Hexagonal}
### Layers
┌─────────────────┐ │ Presentation │ Controllers, CLI, UI ├─────────────────┤ │ Application │ Services, Use Cases ├─────────────────┤ │ Domain │ Entities, Business Logic ├─────────────────┤ │ Infrastructure │ Database, External APIs └─────────────────┘
## Development Environment
### Prerequisites
- {Language runtime and version}
- {Package manager} (e.g., npm, pip, cargo, go mod, maven)
### Setup
```bash
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-steering is a skill published in the GitHub repository yi-john-huang/sdd-mcp (51 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,470 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.
