CC-SDD New Agent Integration

CC-SDD New Agent Integration adds or extends coding-agent support in cc-sdd by executing the SOP in docs/cc-sdd/sop-new-agent.md end-to-end. Use it when introducing a new agent, adding a subagent-capable variant, or migrating an existing supported agent to skills-based templates.

Implementation Gap Validation

Implementation Gap Validation analyzes gaps between approved requirements and an existing codebase to inform implementation strategy. Use it before design to identify missing capabilities, integration challenges, and viable implementation approaches.

Implementation Integration Validation

Implementation Integration Validation checks completed feature tasks as a whole to catch cross-task integration issues, run the full test suite, verify spec coverage, and confirm design boundaries before a GO/NO-GO call. Use it after all tasks in a feature are implemented to decide whether the implementation is ready.
