    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements AI-Driven Life Cycle (AI-DLC) adaptive workflow steering rules for AI coding agents across multiple development harnesses.
    • Provides a harness-neutral core enabling consistent, verifiable, and self-correcting AI-driven software development workflows with approval gates and audit trails.
    • Use for orchestrating complex AI-assisted software development lifecycles with multiple domain expert agents and adaptive workflow composition.
    • Use for integrating AI-DLC methodology into various IDEs and CLIs like Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and GitHub Copilot seamlessly.
    • Use for enterprises requiring structured, traceable, and adaptive AI coding workflows with human-in-the-loop approvals and persistent learning from corrections.

    From the README

    AI-DLC Workflows 2.0 is GA on this repository's default main branch. Use main for new installations and upgrades. It turns AI agents into verifiable, self-correcting engineering workflows from one harness-neutral core rendered natively across Claude Code, Kiro IDE, Kiro CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode, and GitHub Copilot.

    A native implementation of the AI-DLC methodology (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle) that runs on many harnesses from one source of truth — today Claude Code, Kiro IDE, Kiro CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode, and GitHub Copilot, and any capable harness you port it to. Run a full software-development lifecycle with a 14-agent roster — 11 domain experts, 2 review-only agents, and the adaptive-workflows composer — working through a 33-stage workflow, with you approving every gate.

    The methodology lives once, in a harness-neutral core/; each harness adds a thin surface that decides how it shows up on that harness. So you edit the methodology in one place, and every harness distribution is generated from it — no harness gets special treatment. (See Repository layout for how the pieces fit together.)

    To learn more about AI-DLC, read this blog post and the Method Definition Paper it references.
