CDD for Claude Code — Copilot Driven Dev

Visual explorer and AI agent for the CDD (Copilot-Driven Development) methodology. Manage modules, skills, rules, and stacks for Claude Code projects — directly from VS Code.

This extension complements Claude Code — it does not replace it. It provides a visual layer for managing CDD infrastructure that Claude Code uses.

Features

CDD Explorer (Sidebar)

Browse your project's CDD infrastructure in a tree view:

• Modules with their roles and stacks
• Skills per module (with supporting files)
• Rules and governance settings
• Agents (delegates, specialists)
• Methodology preset and active rules
• Doctor health check status

Commands

CDD Agent (AI-Powered)

A specialized Claude agent that understands the entire CDD methodology:

• 10 governance rules (#0-#9) with their interactions
• 7 module roles (frontend, backend, database, agent-ai, mobile, e2e, generic)
• 17 technology stacks (React, NestJS, Prisma, LangChain, etc.)
• 3 presets (minimal, standard, full)

Ask the agent to:

• Suggest module architecture for your project
• Recommend stacks based on requirements
• Explain rules and their impact
• Validate configuration decisions
• Plan new module structures

Status Bar

Shows project preset, module count, and agent connection status.
