Automated summary
Manages SDD state, handoffs, and versioning to ensure continuity across sessions and agents for web playground projects.
Strengths
- Clear progress tracking per phase and document
- Structured handoff between agents with handoff file
- Automatic change propagation via alignment links
- Semantic versioning tailored to documents
Limitations
- Requires manual discipline to keep state file accurate
- No native integration with project management tools
- Change propagation is not automated
Use this workflow when working on a multi-agent or multi-session SDD project that needs rigorous document tracking.
Avoid this workflow for simple or single-agent projects where informal tracking is sufficient.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses 'mkdir' to create a directory and reads/writes local YAML/Markdown files for state management. There is no external command execution, data exfiltration, or destructive actions.

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: []
Status Values
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| draft | Created, not verified |
| verified | Passed verification |
| blocked | Waiting on escalation resolution |
| partial | Some items verified, some draft |
Owner Values
| Owner | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| claude | Current Claude session owns this |
| human | Human is responsible |
| unassigned | Available for next agent |
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
| Change | Bump | |--------|------| | Anchor/REQ deleted or modified meaning | MAJOR | | New anchor/REQ, clarification | MINOR | | Typo, formatting | PATCH |

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

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/download' --output '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.
Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/sdd-workflow' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd' '.claude/skills/sdd-workflow'OpenSkills
OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd'openskills read 'sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/sdd-workflow-management-mmh8qrfd/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
