SDD Router

Use first for Spec-Driven Development, Spec Kit, specs, requirements, design docs, task breakdown, Kiro-style work, implementation from a spec, or ambiguous planning-to-code work.

Contract

Pick the smallest lane that preserves intent, traceability, and proof. Tiny work stays light; ambiguous, risky, cross-boundary, orchestration, or LLM-heavy work cannot jump straight to code.

PowerShell: use $env:PLUGIN_ROOT for $PLUGIN_ROOT command paths.

Preflight when a repo path exists:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/sdd_surface_audit.py" <repo> --json

Before major edits state: LANE, EVIDENCE_PROFILE, source-of-truth paths, assumptions/open questions, next gate, and proof.

Evidence Profiles

• basic: local low-risk change; one focused proof.
• standard: normal feature/bugfix; requirements/tasks plus reproducible check or smoke path.
• strict: cross-module, contract/user-visible, inferred brownfield, LLM-generated, or orchestrated work; require traceability and evidence ledgers.
• regulated: safety, compliance, financial, privacy, security, credentials, migrations, or high-impact data; require stronger proof, formal/model evidence when feasible, or explicit risk acceptance.

Lanes

• tiny-direct: local, low-risk, clear. Use 3-line mini-spec: intent, non-goal, proof. Never use for ambiguous/cross-boundary/security/privacy work.
• spec-kit: .specify/, GitHub Spec Kit, specify, /speckit.*, $speckit-*, or constitution -> specify -> plan -> tasks -> analyze -> implement.
• kiro-lite: .kiro/specs/ or requirements.md + design.md + tasks.md.
• brownfield-gap: desired behavior depends on existing code; mark inferred behavior [TO VERIFY].
• bugfix-spec: meaningful regression risk; capture current/expected/unchanged behavior, root-cause hypothesis, regression proof.
• change-proposal: cross-repo, API-breaking, migration-heavy, security/privacy-sensitive, or deployed behavior contract change; use OpenSpec-style current/proposed sections when present.
• orchestrated-implementation: many independent tasks with explicit boundaries, dependencies, per-unit proof; profile must be strict or regulated.

Route

• sdd-spec-kit: Spec Kit setup/lifecycle.
• sdd-specify: requirements/spec writing.
• sdd-plan-tasks: design, planning, contracts, quickstart, tasks.
• sdd-implement: task execution.
• sdd-audit: traceability/completion review.

Invariants

• Requirements say what/why; design says how.
• High-risk assumptions are clarified, constrained, marked, or justified.
• Buildable requirements map to tasks or explicit deferral.
• Completed tasks require fresh evidence.
• Spec/plan/code drift is updated or disclosed before completion claims.
• LLM self-review, model confidence, or context-free LLM-as-a-judge is not proof.
• Do not run installers, upgrades, or network-backed setup unless requested or project-required.
