/sdlc-debug

Periodic cumulative-drift audit — look at the last stretch of shipped goals as a whole and ask whether the work still matches the north-star's stated bets, or whether the strategy has been quietly rewritten by accumulation. Use when the user runs /sdlc-align, when /sdlc-status

The Goal phase — turn an idea into an approved design before any code: explore intent, requirements, and constraints; ask one question at a time; propose 2-3 approaches with trade-offs; restate as one concrete, checkable goal. Use at Goal, or when the user runs /sdlc-brainstorm.

Pre-flight recall — assemble a compact, cited "context brief" of prior art (knowledge graph + past issues + conventions) for a goal before running it, so a crucial earlier finding is never missed just because the context window flushed. Use at the start of a goal when the

Detect breaking changes to public APIs, event shapes, exported types, CLI flags, or env vars before consumers hit them. Triggers on "breaking change", "API change", "contract", "consumers", "exported type", "event shape", "route change". A conditional-risk review orthogonal to

Record an architectural decision as a machine-checkable invariant so an edit that breaks it is DENIED, not just discouraged. Use when the user runs /sdlc-decide, says "make this a rule / an invariant", "enforce this", "stop us breaking X", or after a retrospective proposes a

One-command setup check-up — audits what THIS project needs (gh auth + project scope for the board, the graph builder for the KG, a filled north-star for vision-first, the .sdlc layer always) and prints what's ready plus the one-line command to fix anything missing. Use when the
