Faion Sdd

Entry point: /faion-net — invoke this skill for automatic routing to the appropriate domain.

SDD Domain Skill (Orchestrator)

Communication: User's language. Docs/code: English.

Philosophy

"Intent is the source of truth" - specification is the main artifact, code is just its implementation.

No Time Estimates: Use complexity levels (Low/Medium/High) and token estimates (~Xk) instead.

Context Discovery

Auto-Investigation

Check for existing SDD structure:

Read existing artifacts:

• constitution.md for constraints and standards
• Any existing specs/designs for patterns
• memory/patterns.md for learned patterns

Discovery Questions

Q1: SDD Phase

question: "What phase of SDD workflow are you in?"
header: "Phase"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Starting new project (need constitution)"
    description: "Bootstrap SDD structure"
  - label: "Planning a feature (spec/design)"
    description: "Write spec, design, impl-plan"
  - label: "Ready to execute (have tasks)"
    description: "Implement planned tasks"
  - label: "Reviewing/improving"
    description: "Quality gates, code review"

Routing:

• "Starting" → constitution-guidelines, project bootstrap
• "Planning" → Skill(faion-sdd-planning)
• "Execute" → Skill(faion-sdd-execution) or Skill(faion-feature-executor)
• "Reviewing" → Skill(faion-sdd-execution) → quality-gates

Q2: Document Type (if planning)

question: "What document do you need to create?"
header: "Document"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Specification (what to build)"
    description: "Requirements, success criteria"
  - label: "Design document (how to build)"
    description: "Architecture, API contracts"
  - label: "Implementation plan (tasks)"
    description: "Task breakdown, dependencies"
  - label: "All of the above"
    description: "Full planning cycle"

Q3: Feature Complexity

question: "How complex is the feature?"
header: "Complexity"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Low (< 50k tokens)"
    description: "Single task, straightforward"
  - label: "Medium (50-150k tokens)"
    description: "Multiple tasks, some complexity"
  - label: "High (> 150k tokens)"
    description: "Many tasks, architectural changes"

Context impact:

• "Low" → Single task, less formal docs
• "Medium" → Standard SDD workflow
• "High" → Detailed spec, parallel execution
