Sdd Workflow

Web Playground SDD Workflow

Track state and enable multi-agent/session continuity for SDD work.

State File

Location: .sdd/state.yaml

version: 1
updated: 2025-01-15T10:00:00Z
current_phase: requirements  # foundation | requirements | design

documents:
  foundation: { status: verified, version: 1.0.0, owner: human }
  requirements: { status: partial, version: 1.1.0, owner: claude }
  design: { status: draft, version: 0.1.0, owner: unassigned }

packages:
  react-sample: { foundation: verified, requirements: draft }

gaps: []
escalations: []

Owner Values

Instructions

1. Initialize

mkdir -p .sdd

Create .sdd/state.yaml with current_phase: foundation.

2. Claim Ownership

Before modifying a document, update owner:

documents:
  requirements: { status: draft, owner: claude }

3. Track Progress

Update state after completing work:

documents:
  foundation: { status: verified, version: 1.0.0, owner: human }

4. Escalate When Blocked

When needing human decision:

escalations:
  - id: ESC-001
    type: scope_decision
    description: "Should QUALITY-MINIMAL allow lodash?"
    items_affected: [REQ-003]
    status: pending  # pending | resolved

Set affected items to blocked status.

5. Propagate Changes

Foundation change -> Re-verify Requirements (@aligns-to links)
Requirements change -> Re-verify Design (@derives links)

6. Session Handoff

At session end, write .sdd/handoff.md:

# SDD Handoff - 2025-01-15

**From:** claude
**To:** human (or next claude session)

## Ownership Transfer
- requirements: claude -> unassigned

## Completed
- Foundation verified with SCOPE-MONOREPO, QUALITY-TYPESCRIPT anchors

## In Progress
- REQ-002: 50% complete, needs verification criteria

## Blocked
- REQ-003: waiting on ESC-001 (scope decision)

## Next Steps
1. Resolve ESC-001 (human decision needed)
2. Complete REQ-002 verification criteria
3. Run alignment check

Versioning

Multi-Level

Package specs in packages/{pkg}/spec/. Reference root with root:: prefix:

• root::SCOPE-MONOREPO
• root::REQ-001

Verification

• State file reflects actual document status
• Ownership assigned before modifications
• Escalations documented when blocked
• Handoff enables next agent to continue without questions
