| description | 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. |

SDD Demo โ Generate Demo Project + Dashboard [EXPLICIT]
Generate a complete demo project with 3 realistic features and open the ALM Command Center for exploration.
User Input
$ARGUMENTS
You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
Execution Flow
1. Seed Demo Data
bash scripts/sdd-seed-demo.sh
This creates:
CONSTITUTION.md with governance principles- 3 features in
specs/ with full pipeline artifacts (spec, plan, checklist, tests, tasks)
.specify/context.json with feature state- Assertion hashes for .feature files
2. Generate Dashboard
node scripts/generate-command-center-data.js
node scripts/generate-dashboard.js
3. Open Dashboard
Provide the file:// URL for the Command Center:
file://$(pwd)/.specify/dashboard/index.html
4. Report
Demo project generated!
Features:
001-user-authentication (implementing-75%)
002-api-gateway (tested)
003-notification-service (specified)
Artifacts: 3 specs, 2 plans, 2 checklists, 2 test suites, 1 task breakdown
Health: NN/100
Dashboard: file://$(pwd)/.specify/dashboard/index.html

/sdd:status โ See pipeline overview

Assumptions and Limits
| # | Assumption | Handling |
|---|
| 1 | Demo overwrites existing .specify/ and specs/ | Warns before overwriting; use on fresh projects. [EXPLICIT] |
| 2 | Node.js required for dashboard generation | If Node unavailable, seed data but skip dashboard. [EXPLICIT] |
| 3 | Demo creates 3 features at different pipeline stages | Showcases multiple phases simultaneously. [EXPLICIT] |
| 4 | Demo data is realistic but fictional | Uses generic auth/API/notification domains. [EXPLICIT] |
| 5 | Dashboard opens via file:// URL | User must open manually in browser. [EXPLICIT] |
Edge Cases
| Scenario | Detection | Handling |
|---|
| Existing project with real data | specs/ or CONSTITUTION.md exist | WARN: "Demo will overwrite existing data. Proceed?" [EXPLICIT] |
| No Node.js | node not in PATH | Seed data only, skip dashboard, suggest installing Node. [EXPLICIT] |
| No git repo | .git/ missing | Demo works without git; hooks installation skipped. [EXPLICIT] |
| Partial seed failure | Script exits non-zero | Report which features were created, suggest re-running. [INFERRED] |
| User wants specific domain | Arguments specify a domain | Use default 3 features; custom domains require /sdd:01-specify. [EXPLICIT] |
Good vs Bad Example
Good: /sdd:demo creates explorable project
Demo project generated!
Features: 3 (auth, api-gateway, notifications)
Health: 62/100
Dashboard: file:///Users/dev/project/.specify/dashboard/index.html
Bad: Demo without exploration guidance
x "Demo created" โ no feature list
x No dashboard URL
x No suggested next commands
Why: Demo must create complete explorable project with dashboard and guided next steps. [EXPLICIT]
Validation Gate
Before marking demo as complete, verify: [EXPLICIT]
