SDETKit capability map and command taxonomy

Product thesis

SDETKit is a unified SDET platform with four flagship kits:

• Release confidence (sdetkit release ...)
• Test intelligence (sdetkit intelligence ...)
• Integration assurance (sdetkit integration ...)
• Failure forensics (sdetkit forensics ...)

Start with sdetkit kits discover --goal "align all repo capabilities" (or sdetkit kits list if you want a compact catalog view).

Layer 1: Umbrella kits (primary)

• sdetkit kits list
• sdetkit kits discover --goal "<goal>" --query "<query>"
• sdetkit kits describe <kit>
• sdetkit release ...
• sdetkit intelligence ...
• sdetkit integration ...
• sdetkit forensics ...

Layer 2: Compatibility aliases (stable)

These remain supported for existing automation, but are no longer first-run discovery:

• sdetkit gate ...
• sdetkit doctor ...
• sdetkit security ...
• sdetkit repo ...
• sdetkit evidence ...
• sdetkit report ...
• sdetkit policy ...

Layer 3: Supporting utilities and integrations

• Utilities: kv, apiget, cassette-get, patch
• Operations: maintenance, ops, notify, agent, ci, dev

Layer 4: Playbooks and transition-era lanes

• Guided lanes: sdetkit playbooks
• Transition-era compatibility lanes: dayNN-*, *-closeout, continuous-upgrade-cycleX-closeout

Use these intentionally; they are not the flagship product surface.

For a full command inventory (including hidden/legacy lanes), run sdetkit --help --show-hidden.
