AI-DLC

AI-DLC is an open-source workflow framework from AWS Labs designed to structure software development around AI-assisted engineering processes. The project promotes an “AI-Driven Life Cycle” methodology where coding assistants, IDE agents, and automation systems participate directly in planning, implementation, testing, and operational workflows. Rather than focusing on a single model or IDE, the framework provides reusable rules, templates, and orchestration patterns compatible with tools such as Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Cline. The repository emphasizes reproducible development processes, workflow portability, and AI-guided engineering discipline across different environments. It also explores specification-driven development and layered workflow architectures that standardize how AI systems interact with software projects.
