SDTK-CODE — Governed Coding Shipped

SDTK-CODE wraps implementation in a governed workflow: start → plan → build → verify → ship, with guardrails constraining scope, evidence backing verification, and review packets making PRs auditable.

The core flow

bash
sdtk-code start --feature-key CRM_LEADS --lane feature
sdtk-code plan
sdtk-code build
sdtk-code verify --evidence
sdtk-code ship --decision ship
  • start opens a governed feature workspace on a lane (feature, fix, refactor, …).
  • plan produces the implementation plan artifact.
  • build is the implementation stage (driven by your runtime session under the installed skills).
  • verify --evidence collects verification evidence — the claim "it works" gets a file.
  • ship --decision <ship|finish> closes the flow, producing the review packet.

Supporting verbs:

bash
sdtk-code status    # where is this feature in the flow?
sdtk-code resume    # pick up an interrupted feature
sdtk-code doctor    # workspace health check

Handoffs in and out

  • In: CODE_HANDOFF — the contract SDTK-SPEC's /dev phase or SDTK-DESIGN's handoff produces.
  • Out: OPS_HANDOFF for deployment (picked up by SDTK-OPS) and REVIEW_PACKET for reviewers.

The trust layer

bash
sdtk-code guardrails init | check | scope | trace
sdtk-code readiness --feature-key CRM_LEADS

Guardrails bound what a session may touch; trace shows what was touched vs. allowed; readiness reports whether a feature can progress. See The Trust Layer.

Sleep Mode Shipped

bash
sdtk-code sleep plan   --feature-key CRM_LEADS
sdtk-code sleep report --feature-key CRM_LEADS

These are shipped dry-run preflight commands: they assess and report what an unattended session would involve. Sleep unattended execution is Gated — not shipped today.

agent-team Shipped

sdtk-code agent-team coordinates a bounded multi-agent team: plan, preview, export, and evidence verbs, plus execute/author/sleep-execute bounded to docs/governance Markdown authoring — not arbitrary code execution. It is also the execution layer SDTK-AGENT orchestrates above.

Setup

bash
sdtk-code init
sdtk-code runtime install    # skills for Claude Code / Codex
sdtk-code update
