Why we included this project

AI-DLC is for teams that use AI coding agents on real projects and want more than plausible-looking code. Rather than a single prompt or tool, it ships workflow steering rules that push the agent through a gated, three-phase development lifecycle: planning and spec first, then implementation, then verification, with human checkpoints along the way. The core rules are distributed for the harnesses teams actually use, including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q Developer, Cline, OpenAI Codex, and Kiro, so you can adopt one consistent workflow without tying yourself to a single editor. If agentic coding has felt too unstructured to trust, this makes the process verifiable and self-correcting. It is a ruleset and methodology rather than an application, so expect to spend some setup time wiring it into an existing project instead of running it out of the box.
