Getting Started with SDFrame

A practical guide for browsing SDFrame, finding software design frameworks, comparing alternatives, and using the AI skill package.

For engineers

  1. Start with a concrete design problem.
  2. Use search or category filters to find candidate frameworks.
  3. Check when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance before choosing.
  4. Compare close alternatives instead of picking from name recognition alone.
  5. Use implementation steps as a starting checklist, then adapt them to your system.

For AI agents

Read /skill/SKILL.md first. It defines the selection and application protocol. Use catalog.md to narrow candidates and framework Markdown files for detail.

For API clients

Use the compact JSON index for retrieval, then request individual framework JSON files as needed. See the developer portal for endpoint and retry guidance.
