# Enable the SDLC in this repository

The plugin's hooks stay inert until `sdlc.config.json` exists at the repo root, so write
that file **last** (after it exists, CLAUDE.md and REVIEW.md become protected paths).

1. **Detect the verification commands.** Inspect `package.json` scripts, `Makefile`,
   `pyproject.toml`, `build.gradle`, `Package.swift`, `Cargo.toml`, CI workflows. Find the
   single commands for test, lint/format check, type check and build. Prefer fast,
   non-interactive, non-watch variants (e.g. `npm test -- --watch=false`, `CI=1`).
   Show the list to the user and confirm it before continuing.
2. **CLAUDE.md.** Merge the section from [claude-md-snippet.md](claude-md-snippet.md) into
   the repo-root `CLAUDE.md` (create it if missing, keep existing content). Fill in the real
   commands. Keep the whole file under roughly one page: commands, conventions,
   architecture, common mistakes. If an architecture overview is missing, add 3-6 lines.
3. **REVIEW.md.** If absent, create it from [review-template.md](review-template.md) and
   adapt the categories to the stack (for example add accessibility for UI apps).
4. **Git hygiene.** Add `.sdlc/` to `.gitignore` (local session state, audit log). The
   `docs/sdlc/**` artifacts, including `approvals.json`, **are** committed: they are the
   audit trail.
5. **Config (last).** Write `sdlc.config.json` from
   [config-template.json](config-template.json) with the confirmed `verify` commands.
   Adjust `test_paths` and `gated_commands` to the stack: add its own release and deploy
   commands, and remove entries that do not apply.
6. **Report to the user** in a short summary:
   - what was created;
   - the user-only chat commands: `sdlc approve intent|spec|plan`, `sdlc skip spec <reason>`,
     `sdlc trivial [reason|off]`, `sdlc unlock tests`, `sdlc feature <slug>`, `sdlc done`,
     `sdlc status`;
   - recommended repo settings outside Claude: branch protection with required human
     review, CODEOWNERS for critical paths, Claude PR review (the managed Code Review
     service or `anthropics/claude-code-action` driven by REVIEW.md);
   - that they should commit the new files.
