Claude Code plugin updates specs to live next to code

The developer has updated their Claude Code plugin, "SDD," to improve the adoption of "living specs." Initially, specs were centralized in a separate folder, making them difficult to maintain and near-impossible to adopt for existing codebases. The new version allows specs to be located directly alongside the code they describe, using flexible configuration to define domains based on file paths and patterns. This update also enables the drafting of initial specs from existing code, streamlining the process for developers. AI

IMPACT Streamlines spec writing for developers using AI code assistants.
