Everyday loop

A one-page cheat sheet. Same commands every day.

First time here?

Do the 10-minute tutorial once first. It includes a paste-ready example.


Normal work (a fix or a feature)

bash
sdd doctor                    # optional: is my setup ok?
sdd new "Short title of the work" -y
sdd status                    # where am I? (never opens the AI)

# Open the file path sdd printed. Write a few real sentences.
# Or let the AI draft them if it opened.

sdd next                      # move to the next step when ready
# … repeat sdd next as stages complete …

sdd verify                    # when you’re on the verify step
sdd complete                  # mark this work done

From a product backlog after greenfield:

bash
sdd feature list
sdd feature start F-001
# then the same next → verify → complete loop

New product (once)

bash
sdd greenfield "One sentence product idea"
# fill vision → sdd next → requirements → features → architecture
sdd complete
sdd feature list
sdd feature start F-001

Details: Greenfield guide.


Several things at once

bash
sdd status --list             # see open work
sdd checkout <change-id>      # switch which one is active

Escape hatches

bash
sdd skip design -r "not needed for this small change"
sdd use feature -r "this grew bigger than a hotfix"
sdd next --force              # rare: skip checks (use carefully)
sdd next --no-agent           # move stages without launching AI
