docs(baseline): make CLAUDE.md enforce the SDD flow instead of suggesting it#31

…aged agents and skills
…ting it The shipped CLAUDE.md treated "read csdd.md" as a soft suggestion and omitted the load-bearing guardrails, so an agent that skipped csdd.md lost every hard rule — hand-editing spec.json, skipping phase gates, authoring managed files directly. Move the guardrails into the always-loaded CLAUDE.md itself: - STOP gate that makes reading csdd.md a precondition for any artifact - Hard rules: csdd is the only author; never hand-edit spec.json / frontmatter / annotations / .mcp.json; never skip a phase gate; surface blocks instead of routing around them - Explicit ordered development cycle with generate -> human approve -> next phase, and that only csdd flips ready_for_implementation - Reinforced Non-negotiables with the spec.json / approve rules Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The shipped
CLAUDE.mdtemplate (internal/templater/templates/root/CLAUDE.md.tmpl) treated read csdd.md as a soft suggestion and omitted the load-bearing guardrails. An agent that skippedcsdd.mdlost every hard rule — and would hand-editspec.json, skip phase gates, and author managed files directly.This moves the guardrails into the always-loaded
CLAUDE.mditself:spec.json/ frontmatter / annotations /.mcp.json; never skip a phase gate; surface blocks instead of routing around them.ready_for_implementation.spec.json/csdd spec approverules at the top.Docs/template-only change (no Go code, no logic). The steering managed-block markers are preserved.
Verification
go test -race ./...(pre-push gate) ✅ all packages passgo test ./internal/templater/✅ template still renders, mentions csdd🤖 Generated with Claude Code
