Prompt Pipeline Design

The prompt pipeline is the engine of SDD. Each numbered prompt drives one phase of the Hunt lifecycle (Spec, Plan, Implement, Iterate, Monitor). Prompts are structured markdown files that instruct an AI agent to perform a specific phase, with detailed information delegated to specs, plans, and reference materials.

Core principle: Prompts should be as lightweight and systemic as possible. They define the process, not the content -- specs and plans hold the content.

1. Greenfield Pattern (3-Prompt Pipeline)

For new projects starting from reference materials (PRDs, language specs, design docs, research).

Pipeline Flow:
  refs/ ──> [001] ──> specs/ ──> [002] ──> plans/ ──> [003] ──> src/ + tests/
                                   ^                     |
                                   |                     |
                                   +── impl/ <───────────+
                                   (bidirectional flow)
