From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 15 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

AI-DLC installs a harness-neutral workflow engine into Claude Code, Kiro CLI and IDE, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode and GitHub Copilot. A single /aidlc command picks one of 11 workflow profiles, runs 33 stages across 5 phases with 14 agents, and stops at human approval gates. State, a 119-event audit trail and learned rules persist per project.

Who it is for: Teams adding gated, auditable delivery workflows to AI coding assistants

Strengths

Same engine across seven harnesses, configured with `aidlc config --harness`
Human approval gates and a 119-event audit trail
11 workflow profiles, including bug fix, infrastructure, security and proof of concept
Native installer; Bun and Node.js not needed for normal install

Weaknesses

Needs a separate harness and model provider; AI-DLC supplies neither
Install is a curl-to-shell script; manual path requires Bun
Large surface (33 stages, 14 agents, 93 tools) means a learning curve
Recommended model is Claude Opus 4.8; quality on other models unknown

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Claude Code, Kiro, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode or GitHub Copilot, Bun (manual-copy install only), Amazon Bedrock (optional)
Models: Claude Opus 4.8 (recommended), Amazon Bedrock, Provider set by harness

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
