Cursor AI SDLC (VS Code Extension)

What this extension does

• Provides a wizard UI (QuickPick/InputBox) to capture SDLC inputs for a ticket.
• Creates/updates a per-ticket tracker: docs/sdlc/<TICKET>.md
• Ensures the Cursor command kit exists:
  • .cursor/commands/sdlc.md
  • docs/sdlc/TICKET_TEMPLATE.md
• Copies a "continue in Cursor chat" prompt to clipboard so the user can paste it into Cursor chat and continue.

Commands

• SDLC: Install Kit — installs/updates the command kit and template into the repo.
• SDLC: Start Ticket (Wizard) — runs the wizard and writes docs/sdlc/<TICKET>.md.
• SDLC: Resume Ticket — selects an existing ticket tracker and copies a "continue" prompt.

UX principles

• Every question offers:
  • QuickPick options
  • An Other… option that opens a plain-text input box
• Minimal required questions first; expand as needed.
