Spec Driven Development (SDD)

About

The sdd skill transforms Claude into a disciplined software architect by enforcing a strict Spec Driven Development workflow. It guides developers through a structured process of discovery interviews, comprehensive specification writing, and detailed design mapping before implementation begins. By managing a dedicated `.sdd/` directory, the skill ensures that every functional requirement is traced directly to specific components, implementation files, and test scenarios, significantly reducing technical debt and improving long-term project maintainability.
