SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The SDD Pipeline Status skill provides a concise, authoritative view of the current pipeline progress for a Claude Code project, including which stages are complete, which artifacts exist, and recommended next actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read and interpret the pipeline state from pipeline-state.json to determine current status and readiness.
  • Verify required artifacts for each stage (e.g., requirements, specs, audits, tests, plans, task definitions, and implementation outputs) are present.
  • Detect stale conditions by comparing timestamps and flag downstream stages that may be affected by upstream changes.
  • Generate a clear status report that can be shared with stakeholders and used to guide next steps in the pipeline.

Quick Start

Run /sdd:pipeline-status to fetch the latest pipeline status for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check SDD pipeline status and verify stage artifacts?▼

To check SDD pipeline status, read pipeline-state.json and verify that required artifacts for each stage, such as requirements, specs, and audits, are present.

How does staleness detection work for downstream pipeline stages?▼

Staleness detection works by comparing timestamps of pipeline artifacts to flag downstream stages that may be affected by upstream changes.

What is the best way to generate a pipeline status report for stakeholders?▼

The best way to generate a pipeline status report is to read pipeline-state.json, verify stage artifacts, detect staleness, and produce a structured summary of progress.

Can I use pipeline status reporting across all SDD pipeline stages?▼

Yes, pipeline status reporting applies across all SDD stages including requirements-engineer, specifications-engineer, spec-auditor, test-planner, plan-architect, task-generator, and task-implementer.

Why does my pipeline status show inconsistent artifacts across stages?▼

Pipeline status shows inconsistent artifacts when required outputs for stages are missing, or when staleness detection flags downstream stages affected by upstream changes.
