What it does

Common Sdlc Metrics is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Define the delivery metrics contract for agent-assisted SDLC — DORA four plus per-stage indicators derived from artifact and git history, and the control bands that turn metric drift into a routed intake. Use when reporting cycle time, plan adherence, or defining response thresholds.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/bands-template.yaml` and `references/metrics-schema.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reporting cycle time
  • Defining response thresholds

Example prompts

  • “/common-sdlc-metrics”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Contract, Not Collector
  2. Aggregate Health (DORA)
  3. Per-Stage Indicators
  4. Control Bands
  5. Reporting Rules

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Common Sdlc Metrics loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SDLC Metrics Standard

Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)

Measure the handoffs, not the keystrokes. Every metric here is derived from committed artifacts and git history, so it survives a change of runtime and cannot be inflated by activity.

1. Contract, Not Collector

  • This skill defines what to report and how. It does not gather provider or CI telemetry itself.
  • The host runtime or orchestrator supplies the raw counts; unavailable inputs are reported as unavailable, never estimated.
  • Emit artifacts/sdlc-metrics.md at a workflow terminal state, alongside artifacts/session-cost.md.
  • Load references/metrics-schema.md for the report skeleton.

2. Aggregate Health (DORA)

  • Deployment frequency: successful deploys per period, from deployment reports.
  • Lead time for changes: first commit to production, per change.
  • Change failure rate: deploys needing hotfix or rollback, divided by deploys.
  • Time to restore: mitigation timestamp minus incident detection, from the incident record.

3. Per-Stage Indicators

StageLeadingLagging
BRDfirst conversation to committed BRDBRD survival rate into PRD
PRD / SRSBRD to PRD to SRS commit deltasrequirement rework after first docs/srs/srs-task-list-[slug].md
Buildshare merging on first implementation passplan adherence, merged diff versus docs/srs/srs-task-list-[slug].md
Testfirst-pass CI success, eval pass ratedefect escape rate
Reviewtime to first findingfindings per review by severity
Releasechange lead timechange failure rate
Maintainband breach to intake in queuerepeat incidents by class

4. Control Bands

  • Define bands in docs/ops/bands.yaml, version controlled and reviewed like code. Schema: references/bands-template.yaml.
  • Baseline is a rolling window, not a fixed target. Detection is deterministic and computed before any agent reads the signal.
  • Tiers escalate by evidence: log, then read-only diagnose, then propose a change. Never let a tier act beyond its declared tools and routes.
  • Dismissals tune the band. A band that fires constantly is miscalibrated, not urgent.
Show full SKILL.md (183 more words)Show less

5. Reporting Rules

  • Trend over snapshot: report direction against the previous period, not a bare number.
  • Name the source: every value cites the artifact, commit range, or pipeline run it came from.
  • No composite scores: do not blend indicators into a single productivity number.
  • Separate agent and human runs: attribute a change to the identity that produced it.

Anti-Patterns

  • No unavailable value guessed: Mark it unavailable and say why.
  • No lines-of-code or commit-count metrics: Measure outcomes and handoffs.
  • No fixed baseline: Use a rolling window per band.
  • No metric without a source: Cite the artifact or commit range.
  • No band with no owner: Name who triages a breach.

Red Flags

  • Stop if a metric ranks individuals: Report the flow, not the person.
  • Stop if a band fires every run: Recalibrate before responding.
  • Stop if adherence is measured against an unwritten plan: Require the committed docs/srs/srs-task-list-[slug].md.
