description	SDD — Spec-Driven Development: scaffold .sdd/ folder (principles, decisions) for a project.

Steps

1. Detect current state

Check the project root (cwd) for:

• .sdd.json (existing JSON workflow config)
• .sdd/principles.md
• .sdd/decisions/ directory

2. Plan + confirm

Build a list of artifacts to create (only those that don't exist). If the list is empty, output ✓ .sdd/ already initialized and stop.

Present via AskUserQuestion:

• Options: "Create all", "Customize", "Cancel"
• If "Customize": ask per-artifact yes/no via AskUserQuestion.

3. Create artifacts

For each confirmed artifact:

• .sdd/principles.md: copy lib/templates/principles.md, no variable substitution.
• .sdd/decisions/: create directory + .gitkeep (empty file) so git tracks the empty folder.
• .sdd.json: only create if completely absent. Write a minimal default:

  {
    "specsDir": "specs",
    "commitFormat": "conventional",
    "noAttribution": true
  }
  

Never overwrite existing files. If a file exists, skip it (idempotent).

4. Summary

✓ SDD project initialized

Created:
  .sdd/principles.md       — edit to add your project's MUSTs
  .sdd/decisions/.gitkeep  — ADR storage (use /sdd:adr <slug> to create)
  .sdd.json                — workflow config

Next: edit .sdd/principles.md and run /sdd:specify to start your first feature.
