AI Sdlc
AI development governance suite that splits work into four documented stages — requirement analysis, structure design, modification governance, and acceptance — so every AI task reads the docs first and stays consistent and traceable. Use this whenever the user plans a new project or feature, clarifies requirements, designs system architecture or a database, proposes any modification or new feature, or wants to verify whether results meet the bar; follow the staged flow and read the matching guide under references. Covers producing an AI Guideline, the four structures (directory/logical/design/data), change records with impact analysis, and acceptance reports with a re-fix loop. Important: as soon as the user proposes a modification or new feature, go through modification governance first rather than editing code directly.

From the source SKILL.md
This skill gives the AI a consistent process when assisting with development. Core idea: capture requirements, structure, changes, and acceptance as documents first, then read those documents as the basis for later work — instead of guessing from scratch each time. Before acting, read here to decide "which stage applies now", then read the matching guide under references/.
What this skill does
AI Sdlc is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ai-sdlc/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The AI Sdlc Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the AI Sdlc skill?
Use AI Sdlc when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the architecture area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use AI Sdlc" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the AI Sdlc skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. AI Sdlc is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
