# AI-DLC - one core, many harnesses

A harness-neutral set of workflow rules that turns AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI and GitHub Copilot into structured, verifiable software-delivery processes with approval gates.

AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle) provides one shared set of workflow rules that runs natively across several coding-agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Kiro CLI, Kiro IDE, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode and GitHub Copilot. An installer adds a native aidlc command along with the runtime for each supported harness.

After installing, a project is configured for the harness in use, and a workflow is started by describing the desired work inside that harness. AI-DLC selects an appropriate workflow, asks for any missing decisions, and pauses at approval gates before continuing, so the process stays structured and verifiable rather than fully autonomous.
