What it does

Sdd Implementation is an agent skill from madebyaris/spec-kit-command-cursor. Execute planned implementations following todo-lists systematically. Use for code generation, building features, and executing SDD plans.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/patterns.md` and `scripts/progress.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Task management. The repository describes itself as: SDD toolkit for Cursor IDE — /specify, /plan, /tasks to turn ideas into specs, plans, and actionable tasks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Code generation
  • Building features
  • Executing SDD plans

Example prompts

  • “/sdd-implementation”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load the Plan
  2. Execute Systematically
  3. Follow Patterns
  4. Track Progress
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 36b26f9. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Sdd Implementation loads about 444 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~444
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SDD Implementation Skill

Build what has been planned, following specs and todo-lists precisely.

When to Use

  • Executing planned implementations
  • Code generation from specifications
  • Building features according to plan

Protocol

Step 1: Load the Plan

Read: plan.md → spec.md → tasks.md → todo-list.md

Step 2: Execute Systematically
  1. Read entire list before starting
  2. Execute in order — respect dependency chains
  3. Mark completion — - [ ] → - [x] immediately
  4. Document blockers — never skip silently, use [BLOCKED: reason]
Step 3: Follow Patterns

Reference references/patterns.md for project conventions and implementation patterns.

Step 4: Track Progress

Use scripts/progress.sh to visualize completion status.

Step 5: Report
markdown
## Implementation Summary

### Completed
- [x] Task 1: description

### Files Created/Modified
- `path/to/file.ts`: [purpose]

### Blockers Encountered
- [blocker and resolution]

### Discoveries
- [anything that should update specs]

Anti-Patterns

  • Skipping tasks without explanation
  • Marking items done without completing them
  • Implementing differently than planned without noting why
  • Ignoring blockers instead of documenting them

Integration

  • After completion, sdd-verifier subagent validates work (spawned as a child subagent)
  • Recall/persist project knowledge via the sdd-memory skill (no-op when the memory provider is standard)
  • Discoveries trigger sdd-evolve skill for spec updates
  • Use the ask question tool for ambiguous requirements
