README

Excerpt

spec-kitty-spdd-reasons

Drive REASONS Canvas authoring and review for missions that opted in to Structured-Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD) via charter selection. The canvas is a thin, agent-curated reasoning layer that sits next to the spec, plan, and tasks; it is not a duplicate system mirror.

This skill is documentation for the agent. It assumes the SPDD/REASONS doctrine pack (paradigm, tactics, styleguide, directive, template) has already been shipped under src/doctrine/ and that activation can be detected via the helper described below.
