Magnus Hedemark 738ec715e7 Add human-focused README.md to every skill and bundle directory
Each README is written for a human audience, explaining:
- What the skill does (not what format it follows)
- What benefit the user gets from installing it
- Quick setup and usage patterns
- When to load/trigger the skill
- What scripts, references, and templates it ships

data-scientist already had a README — left unchanged.

48 READMEs added across all skill and bundle directories.

Spec-Driven Development for AI Software Factories

A methodology where structured specifications are the executable input to an AI code generation pipeline. Quality gates enforce correctness at each phase.

Why Install This Skill

When your agent loads this skill, it becomes a software factory designer who can:

  • Design an SDD pipeline — 5-phase pipeline from SPECIFY to DELIVER with 4 phase gates
  • Write great specs — 7 spec quality gates that separate precise specs from vague ones
  • Choose spec methodologies — BDD, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, DbC, TLA+, ADRs, C4 — matched to your context
  • Encode NFRs — performance, security, observability requirements in machine-readable format
  • Translate between formats — PRD → SPEC.md → Gherkin → OpenAPI
  • Handle gate recovery — revision workflows when specs fail review

What You Get

Directory Purpose
SKILL.md Pipeline overview, loading guide, methodology quick-pick
references/ 9 reference files: overview, pipeline, quality gates, phase gates, methodology matrix, NFR encoding, format translation, critiques, example spec
templates/ 4 spec templates
scripts/ 2 validation scripts

Triggers

Load this when designing a spec-driven pipeline, writing an AI-ready specification, or setting up quality gates for AI code generation.

Requirements

Tool-agnostic — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent, Devin, OpenHands, droid, or any AI coding agent.
