SDD Harness Skill
This is a bootstrap/meta skill (category: bootstrap). It has no independent
authority — it points file-based skill-discovery agents (Claude Code, Antigravity/
Gemini CLI) at the canonical SDD governance sources below. Do not duplicate routing
tables or mandate content here: if this file and .sdd/agent-instructions.md ever
disagree, .sdd/agent-instructions.md wins.
Entrypoint Contract
- Read
.sdd/agent-instructions.md — governance authority, active mandates, bootstrap steps.
- Commands source of truth:
.sdd/commands/registry.json + .sdd/commands/<command-id>/command.yaml.
- Skills source of truth:
.sdd/skills/registry.json + .sdd/skills/<skill-name>/skill.yaml.
sdd-harness itself is registered in .sdd/skills/registry.json under category
bootstrap. Its presence there — not absence — is what's canonical; do not report
this skill as governance drift.
Mandatory Protocols
-
Governance Footer: Every response generated while operating under this skill MUST end with the following compact footer:
SDD GOVERNANCE: drift=${status} | governance=${status} | profile=${profile}
(Replace ${status} and ${profile} with actual values from sdd runtime status)
-
PEP 723 Execution:
- Always execute CLI commands via
uv run sdd or make <target> to ensure environment parity.
