Vision Driven Design

From vision to verified impact — bi-directional traceability for AI-assisted development. Prove every commit serves the business goal.

Quick Start

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonplmak-cloud/vision-driven-design/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Then in your project:

/vdd:vision "I want to build a platform that..."

Or run the full chain in one call:

/vdd:e2e "your vision statement here"

AI handles the rest — domain research, codebase audit, specs, plans, implementation, and validation — with bi-directional verification at every gate.

Every phase is both the Tactic for its parent and the Strategy for its child. Gates verify forward (parent→children coverage) and backward (children→parent authorization).

Impact Chain

V-001 → S-002 → T-003 → SP-004 → PL-005 → TK-006 → commits

Every commit message ties back through plans, specs, tactics, strategy, and vision. Nothing gets built unless it serves the original impact goal.
