Commission to Programme

Install the sdlc-programme bundle into a project. Use this when:

• Team size 11-50 across 2-5 teams
• Specification maturity is formal or contract-first
• Blast radius is moderate-to-high
• Audit-friendly traceability matters but full regulated-industry traceability does not

For other team shapes:

• 1-2 person projects → use commission-solo (or /sdlc-core:commission --option solo)
• 3-10 person product teams → use the framework default (no commissioning needed)
• Regulated industries → use commission-assured (Phase E, future)

Steps

LEVEL="${1:-production}"  # default production for Programme

if [ -n "$1" ] && [ "$1" != "--level" ]; then
    echo "Usage: commission-programme [--level production|enterprise]" >&2
    exit 1
fi
LEVEL="${2:-production}"

case "$LEVEL" in
    production|enterprise) ;;
    *)
        echo "Programme supports levels: production, enterprise" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

# Delegate to sdlc-core:commission with --option programme --level <LEVEL> --bundle-dir <Programme bundle path>
PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)
BUNDLE_DIR="$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT"  # the sdlc-programme plugin's own root inside the container/install

# Sanity check the bundle dir
if [ ! -f "$BUNDLE_DIR/manifest.yaml" ]; then
    echo "Programme bundle manifest not found at $BUNDLE_DIR/manifest.yaml" >&2
    exit 1
fi

Done

Report:

• Bundle installed: programme v0.1.0
• Files written: count + key paths (CONSTITUTION.md, .claude/skills/, .sdlc/templates/)
• Commissioning record at: .sdlc/team-config.json
• Next steps:
  1. Read the new CONSTITUTION.md — it adds Programme-specific articles 12-14
  2. For your first feature, run: phase-init requirements <feature-id>
  3. Edit the requirements-spec, then phase-gate requirements <feature-id>
  4. Continue through design, test, and code phases

Model selection

This skill is mostly mechanical (file copies, JSON writes). A smaller model is sufficient.
