SDLC Control Panel
VS Code extension MVP for the NashTech Orchestrate framework.
What It Does
- Adds an
SDLC Activity Bar panel.
- Reads
.workspace/knowledge-base/project-state.md, .agents/workflows/core-workflow.md, and .workspace/specs.
- Shows project state, workflow route, user stories, progress, gate readiness, and workspace activity token spend.
- Generates reviewable workflow prompts and copies them to the clipboard.
- Supports BA workspace actions that are not tied to a story yet, including requirement analysis, epic creation, and user story creation.
The extension does not modify application source code directly. It can update SDLC workspace metadata such as prompt/session bindings, user profile state, and onboarding state files that support the workflow dashboard.
Run Locally
- Open
extensions/vscode-sdlc-panel in VS Code.
- Press
F5 to launch an Extension Development Host.
- In the host window, open the repository root.
- Open the
SDLC Activity Bar panel.
Install As A Local Extension
Use this flow when you want to install the extension into your normal VS Code profile instead of launching it with F5.
npm install
npm run package
code --install-extension dist/vscode-sdlc-panel.vsix --force
Or run the combined command:
npm install
npm run install-local
After installation, reload VS Code and open the SDLC Activity Bar panel in any workspace that contains the expected .workspace and .agents files.
The packaging script creates dist/ automatically, so you should not need to create that folder by hand.
Test
npm test
