Requirements

Don Cheli SDD Framework installed
A .dc/ directory in your project (run /dc:iniciar)
An AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

Installation

Install from VS Code Marketplace: search "Don Cheli SDD"
Or install from VSIX: code --install-extension don-cheli-sdd-1.0.0.vsix
Open a project with .dc/ directory
The Don Cheli sidebar appears automatically

Configuration

Setting	Default	Description
`doncheli.terminal`	`claude`	AI agent: `claude`, `cursor`, or `terminal`
`doncheli.language`	`es`	Language: `es`, `en`, `pt`
`doncheli.minCoverage`	`85`	Minimum coverage percentage

How it works

The extension reads your .dc/ directory (or .especdev/ for legacy projects) and displays the SDD artifacts visually. Commands are executed in the integrated terminal through your AI agent.

No data leaves your machine. All telemetry is 100% local.
