Configure Interactive SDLC

Overview

Set up interactive-sdlc plugin configuration interactively by reading existing settings, validating them, and prompting for missing or invalid values. This skill ensures all required configuration is present and valid in .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json.

Configuration

Configuration File (`.claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json`)

json

{
  "planDirectory": "specs",
  "analysisDirectory": "analysis",
  "defaultExploreAgents": {
    "chore": 2,
    "bug": 2,
    "feature": 3
  }
}

Users can gitignore this file if they want personal settings.

Configuration Schema

Setting	Type	Valid Range	Default
`planDirectory`	string	Valid path	`"specs"`
`analysisDirectory`	string	Valid path	`"analysis"`
`defaultExploreAgents.chore`	number	0-5	`2`
`defaultExploreAgents.bug`	number	0-5	`2`
`defaultExploreAgents.feature`	number	0-10	`3`

Core Principles

•Configuration is stored in .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json
•All paths are relative to project root
•Users can gitignore the config file if they want personal settings
•Validate all user input before accepting
•Ensure all settings are within valid ranges
•If configuration file doesn't exist, create the directory and file
•If file exists but is invalid JSON, warn the user, offer to backup, and create new valid configuration
•If user provides invalid input, show error message explaining valid values and re-prompt
•If file permission issues prevent automatic updates, provide manual configuration instructions

Instructions

•
Read Existing Configuration
- •Check if .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json exists
- •Parse current settings if present
- •Identify which settings are missing or invalid
•
Validate Current Configuration
- •Check each setting against expected schema (see Configuration section)
- •Verify planDirectory and analysisDirectory are valid paths
- •Verify defaultExploreAgents values are within valid ranges
•
If Configuration is Valid and Complete
- •Display success message
- •Show current configuration summary
- •Inform user they can edit .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json directly for changes
- •Exit skill
•
If Configuration is Missing or Invalid
- •Use AskUserQuestion to gather missing/invalid values
- •Show current values as defaults in questions
- •Validate user inputs before accepting
Questions to ask:
- •Where should plan files be saved? (default: /specs)
- •Where should analysis reports be saved? (default: /analysis)
- •How many explore agents for chore planning? (0-5, default: 2)
- •How many explore agents for bug planning? (0-5, default: 2)
- •How many explore agents for feature planning? (0-10, default: 3)
•
Update Configuration
- •Create .claude/configs/ directory if it doesn't exist
- •Create or update .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json
- •Confirm successful configuration with summary

Output Guidance

Show a user-friendly message:

If configuration is valid:

code

Configuration is valid

Current interactive-sdlc configuration:
  planDirectory: specs
  analysisDirectory: analysis
  defaultExploreAgents:
    chore: 2
    bug: 2
    feature: 3

To change settings, edit .claude/configs/interactive-sdlc.json directly
or run /configure again.

If configuration needed updates:
