Packs

Workflow	Best for	Stages (high level)
hotfix	Typos, tiny fixes, renames	intent → implement → local_verify
patch	Small bugs / scoped fixes	intent → acceptance → implement → local_verify
feature	Normal product features	intent → optional clarify/brainstorm → design → optional clarify → tasks → optional clarify → implement → local_verify
greenfield	New product from a one-line idea	vision → requirements → features → architecture (then sdd feature start F-001)
spike	Time-boxed research / PoC	intent → research → (notes)
enterprise-feature	Platform / regulated / multi-team work	feature → hl_arb (hard gate) → lld → db_design → code_research → stories → tasks → implement → local_verify

Prefer the CLI entrypoint for product bootstrap:

sdd greenfield "Team expense tracker for remote startups"
# … fill stages …
sdd complete          # promotes vision/requirements/features/architecture → memory/
sdd feature list
sdd feature start F-001

See Greenfield guide.

How recommendation works

sdd new scores keywords and complexity hints in the title (e.g. “typo” → hotfix, “ARB” / “migration” → enterprise-feature). You can always force -w <name>.

Per-change controls

sdd skip clarify_intent -r "scope is clear"
sdd use feature -r "grew past a patch"
sdd gate approve -n "ARB approved with condition …"
