Privacy Policy¶
Last updated: 2026-03-20
Overview¶
The Spec-Driven Development Plugin runs entirely on your local machine. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data or telemetry.
Data Handling¶
What the plugin accesses¶
- Local files -- The plugin reads and writes files within your project directory, specifically under
.claude/specs/for spec artifacts (requirements, design, tasks, progress logs). - Git repository -- The plugin uses git commands to create worktrees, branches, and commits within your local repository.
- Claude CLI -- The plugin invokes the
claudeCLI for autonomous execution. All interactions with the Claude API are handled by the Claude CLI itself, subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.
What the plugin does NOT do¶
- Does not collect analytics or telemetry
- Does not phone home or make network requests (other than through the Claude CLI)
- Does not access files outside your project directory
- Does not store data outside your project directory (except git worktrees under
.claude/specs/.worktrees/) - Does not read or access credential files, environment variables, or secrets
- Does not send your code or spec contents to any third-party service
Third-Party Services¶
The plugin delegates to the Claude CLI for AI-powered tasks (requirements writing, code generation, testing). These interactions are governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy and your Claude account terms.
The optional gh pr create suggestion uses the GitHub CLI, which is governed by GitHub's Privacy Statement.
Data Storage¶
All plugin-generated data is stored locally in your project:
| Data | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Spec files | .claude/specs/<name>/ |
Requirements, design, tasks |
| Progress logs | .claude/specs/<name>/progress.md |
Session history |
| Worktrees | .claude/specs/.worktrees/ |
Isolated implementation branches |
| Generated docs | .claude/specs/<name>/docs/ |
API refs, user guides |
No data is stored outside your project directory or transmitted externally by the plugin.
Changes to This Policy¶
Updates to this policy will be reflected in this file with an updated date. Check the git history for changes.
