spdd-analysis

spdd-analysis converts a story or focused requirement into strategic implementation context.

Quick start

text
Use the spdd-analysis skill on @requirements/STORY-001.md.

Use it when

  • the requirement is already coherent enough for analysis
  • the repository needs architecture-aware context before prompt generation
  • you have a story artifact that should be deepened before prompting

Output

This phase produces:

  • an analysis artifact under spdd/analysis/
  • a phase result block recommending spdd-reasons-canvas as the next phase

Role in the workflow

spdd-story → spdd-analysis → spdd-reasons-canvas → spdd-generate

Why this phase matters

This is the main bridge between business intent and implementation planning. The analysis artifact surfaces architectural constraints, dependency context, and design decisions that the REASONS prompt will carry forward. Skipping it often leads to prompts that miss important implementation nuance.

Structured Prompt-Driven Development — works with Codex and Claude Code.
