Drive a change through an AI-native software development lifecycle as a loop of committed, machine-readable artifacts — intent.md, spec.md, plan.md, diff plus tests, PR review, control bands — and make the stage order enforceable with a PreToolUse hook and a CI gate instead of relying on discipline. Use when the user wants to start a feature, capture intent, write a spec, plan before coding, run a change from idea to production, onboard an existing repo to a governed process, add stage gates…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AI-Native SDLC

Take a change from idea to production as a **loop around the agent**, not a linear human
relay. Each stage **ends by committing one machine-readable artifact**, and the next stage
**begins by reading it**. The chain of commits becomes the audit trail: who asked for what,
what the agent produced, and who approved it.

```
Plan     ->  intent.md
Design   ->  spec.md
Build    ->  plan.md  ->  diff + tests
Test     ->  a verification target + evals/
Deploy   ->  PR + REVIEW.md findings  ->  gated release
Maintain ->  bands.yaml breach  ->  writes a new intent.md   (loop closes)
```

## Instructions

1. **Identify the stage.** Read `.sdlc/active` for the current slug; artifacts live in
   `intent/<slug>/`. If there is no active slug, the work starts at Stage 1.
2. **Read the input artifact before producing the output artifact.** Never write `spec.md`
   without reading an accepted `intent.md`, and never edit source before `plan.md` is accepted.
3. **Run the gate rather than judging by eye:**
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/sdlc_gate.py intent/<slug> <design|build|test|deploy>
   # exit 0 = gate open, exit 2 = gate closed (reason on stderr)
   ```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice/ai-native-sdlc@sha256:01ee79c69b49b6d9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.6624393, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
