Dev Lifecycle Skill

Orchestrate requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, and review.

Install command

AI DevKit installs its built-in skills as one curated set. Run this once to install dev-lifecycle with the rest of the built-in workflow skills.

What it does

Use dev-lifecycle when you want an AI coding agent to follow a structured software delivery process instead of improvising in chat. It routes work to focused phase skills and keeps higher-risk engineering work moving through explicit checkpoints.

When to use it

  • Run a complete feature lifecycle with one repeatable workflow
  • Choose the next delivery phase across requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, and review
  • Coordinate phase-specific AI DevKit skills without manually remembering every step
