sdd-propose

Creates a change proposal with clear intent, defined scope, and technical approach.

Triggers: /sdd-propose <change-name>, create proposal, define change, sdd proposal

Purpose

The proposal defines the WHAT and WHY before entering into technical details. It is the scope contract of the change. Without an approved proposal, there are no specs or design.

For substantial proposals (cross-team scope, multiple stakeholders, or user-facing product changes), optionally pair the proposal with a PRD using docs/templates/prd-template.md. The PRD captures problem statement, target users, user stories, NFRs, and acceptance criteria — feeding directly into the sdd-spec phase. Skip the PRD for internal refactors or single-stakeholder changes.
