What problem does it solve? Running the full Spec-Driven Development cycle (explore, propose, spec) is excessive for trivial changes like hotfixes, typos, or minor configuration edits. This Skill fuses those three phases into a single lightweight markdown artifact so small changes stay documented without the overhead of the complete workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fused SDD Phases: Produces one markdown artifact with clearly separated Exploration, Proposal, and Specification sections, including functional requirements and acceptance scenarios. - Complexity Guardrails: Evaluates eligibility criteria (3 files or fewer, no architectural changes) and emits a visible warning recommending the standard flow when the change is too complex. - Orchestrator Integration: Returns a structured envelope so the orchestrator can decompose the artifact into three Engram observations (explore, proposal, spec) with standard topic keys, supporting engram, openspec, hybrid, and none storage modes. - Use Case: A developer needs to fix a typo in a config file. Instead of running three separate SDD phases, the orchestrator launches this patch mode to produce one concise artifact documenting the current state, the proposed fix, and acceptance criteria. ## Quick Start Ask the orchestrator to run /sdd-new my-hotfix --patch to generate a combined explore, propose, and spec artifact for a trivial change.
