Designs CI/CD pipeline architecture including stages, quality gates, artifact management, and deployment strategies. Trigger: "CI/CD pipeline", "build pipeline", "deployment pipeline", "continuous delivery setup".

SDD Utility — Resolve ambiguities in any artifact at any phase. Enhanced: auto-detect artifact, structured questions per ambiguity taxonomy, RAG capture.

SDD Phase 0 — Define governance principles, coding standards, quality gates, and TDD policy. Enhanced: validates context.json, updates pipeline state, suggests workspace creation.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "capture input", "save to RAG memory", "index a file", "store reference material", "capture document for context", or "add to knowledge base". It captures session inputs as RAG memory files with frontmatter, abstract, key takeaways, and full content. Workspace-aware routing sends captures to the active workspace's rag/ folder. Use this skill whenever the user mentions capture, RAG, memory indexing, or knowledge base storage.

SDD Phase 1 — User Specs from natural language. FR-NNN, SC-NNN, acceptance scenarios. Enhanced: bug-fix intent detection, semantic diff on re-run, workspace RAG capture.

SDD Phase 2 — Technical Specs: architecture, data model, API contracts, technology decisions. Enhanced: Tessl tile discovery, context validation, schema enforcement.

SDD Phase 3 — BDD Analysis quality checklists. [GATE G1] Enhanced: mandatory gate enforcement, FR→plan alignment check.

SDD Phase 4 — Gherkin BDD test specs with cryptographic assertion hashing. Enhanced: SHA-256 hash generation, traceability tag validation, assertion integrity.

SDD Phase 5 — Dependency-ordered task breakdown with parallel markers and story labels.

SDD Phase 6 — Cross-artifact consistency validation, traceability FR→TS→Tasks. Enhanced: knowledge graph rebuild, orphan detection, health scoring.

SDD Phase 7 — Iterative TDD implementation with BDD verification chain. [GATE G2] Enhanced: mandatory gate, step coverage verification, assertion integrity, feature immutability.

SDD Phase 8 — Export tasks to GitHub Issues with labels and dependencies. [GATE G3] Enhanced: mandatory gate, issue-map tracking, cross-check verification.

SDD Bug report + fix tasks. Enhanced: Quick Flow triage, GitHub issue inbound (#number), scope guard against AP-06 (consecutive quick flows).

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create workspace", "list workspaces", "select workspace", "archive workspace", "manage workspace sessions", or "switch task context". It manages per-task workspace sessions with isolated inputs, RAG files, logs, and tasklog per interaction. Use this skill whenever the user mentions workspace, session management, task isolation, or context switching.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "run sentinel", "check project health", "scan for drift", "detect stale artifacts", "run perceive-decide-act cycle", or "audit pipeline state". It executes a full sentinel cycle (perceive-decide-act) with zero LLM cost to detect stale artifacts, missing files, health regression, and drift from constitution principles. Use this skill whenever the user mentions sentinel, health check, drift detection, or pipeline audit.

SDD project initialization, status, feature selection, and help. Enhanced fork of iikit-core with workspace sessions, heartbeat init, ALM deployment, and SDD branding.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate dashboard", "refresh dashboard", "build command center", "update ALM views", "regenerate pipeline visualization", or "open dashboard". It generates both the single-file dashboard and the multi-page ALM Command Center with all views (pipeline, specs, quality, intelligence, workspace, governance, logs, backlog, search). Use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboard, command center, ALM, or pipeline visualization.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a new SDD skill", "scaffold a skill", "forge a skill", "build a new command", or mentions "skill creator". It manufactures production-grade SDD/IIKit skills with full scaffolding: SKILL.md, scripts, templates, references, hooks, evals, and knowledge graph registration. Use this skill whenever a new pipeline phase, utility command, or experience skill is needed — even if the user just says "I need a new /sdd command".

This skill should be used when the user asks to "install hooks", "set up git hooks", "enable assertion integrity", "install pre-commit hooks", "configure commit validation", or "protect test hashes". It installs git pre-commit and post-commit hooks that enforce assertion integrity by validating .feature file SHA-256 hashes on every commit. Use this skill whenever the user mentions hooks, assertion integrity, or commit validation.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "run a demo", "show me how SDD works", "generate a demo project", "create a sample project", "demonstrate the pipeline", or "try SDD with example data". It generates a complete demo project with realistic features, specs, tests, tasks, and opens the dashboard for exploration. Use this skill whenever the user mentions demo, demonstration, sample project, or try SDD.
