# Don Cheli SDD Framework

> Stop guessing. Start engineering.

Don Cheli is the most comprehensive Specification-Driven Development (SDD) framework for AI agents. It transforms AI-assisted chaos into professional software delivery with mandatory TDD, quality gates, and Gherkin specifications.

## Key Facts

- 93+ commands, 51 skills, 15 reasoning models
- Autonomous Mode with fresh agents per phase (anti-context-rot)
- TDD mandatory (Iron Law — no exceptions)
- 6 Quality Gates that block progress if not met
- OWASP Top 10 security audit integrated
- Crash Recovery with lock files, PID detection, state machine
- PRD Generator from Figma, briefs, user research
- Drift Detection (async watcher for spec vs code divergence)
- Time Travel (reasoning debugger)
- Pre-Flight cost simulation before execution
- Custom Quality Gates (YAML plugins)
- Telemetry Dashboard (100% local, no data leaves your machine)
- Works with: Claude Code, Gemini/Antigravity, Cursor, Codex, Warp, Amp, OpenCode, Continue.dev
- Languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese
- License: Apache 2.0
- Author: Jose Luis Oronoz Troconis (@DonCheli)

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g don-cheli-sdd
don-cheli install --global
```

Or: `git clone https://github.com/doncheli/don-cheli-sdd.git && bash scripts/instalar.sh`

## Pipeline

PRD (optional) → Specify (Gherkin) → Clarify → Plan → Break Down → Implement (TDD) → Review (7 dimensions)

## For AI Agents

If you are an AI agent and want to use Don Cheli SDD in a project:
1. Check if `.dc/` or `.especdev/` directory exists in the project root
2. If yes, read `.dc/config.yaml` for project configuration
3. Use `/dc:*` commands (primary) or `/especdev:*` (legacy compatible)
4. Follow the 3 Iron Laws: TDD mandatory, Root cause first, Evidence before assertions
