Automate your software development from requirements to deployment using Claude-powered agents.
Get started in under 5 minutes:
# 1. Install AD-SDLC
npm install -g ad-sdlc
# 2. Initialize your project
ad-sdlc init my-project
cd my-project
# 3. Start with your requirements
claude "Implement user authentication with OAuth2"That's it! The agents will generate documents, create issues, implement code, and open PRs.
AD-SDLC is an automated software development pipeline that uses 25 specialized Claude agents to transform your requirements into production-ready code. It supports three modes:
User Input → Collector → PRD Writer → SRS Writer → SDS Writer
↓
Worker ← Controller ← Issue Generator
↓
PR Reviewer → Merge
Existing Docs + Code → Document Reader → Codebase Analyzer → Code Reader
↓
Doc-Code Comparator
↓
Impact Analyzer
↓
PRD Updater → SRS Updater → SDS Updater
↓
Issue Generator + Regression Tester
↓
Controller → Worker → PR Reviewer
↓
CI Fix (on failure)
GitHub Issues → Issue Reader → Controller → Worker → PR Reviewer
↓
CI Fix (on failure)
| Phase | Agent | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Orchestration | AD-SDLC Orchestrator | Coordinates the full pipeline lifecycle |
| Analysis Orchestrator | Coordinates the analysis sub-pipeline | |
| Setup | Mode Detector | Detects Greenfield vs Enhancement vs Import mode |
| Project Initializer | Creates .ad-sdlc directory structure and config |
|

| GitHub Repo Setup | Creates and initializes GitHub repository | |
| Collection | Collector | Gathers requirements from text, files, and URLs |
| Issue Reader | Imports existing GitHub Issues for Import pipeline | |
| Documentation | PRD Writer | Generates Product Requirements Document |
| SRS Writer | Generates Software Requirements Specification | |
| SDS Writer | Generates Software Design Specification | |
| Planning | Issue Generator | Creates GitHub Issues from SDS components |
| Execution | Controller | Orchestrates work distribution and monitors progress |
| Worker | Implements code based on assigned issues | |
| Quality | PR Reviewer | Creates PRs and performs automated code review |
| CI Fixer | Automatically diagnoses and fixes CI failures | |
| Regression Tester | Validates existing functionality after changes | |
| Enhancement | Document Reader | Parses existing PRD/SRS/SDS documents |
| Code Reader | Extracts source code structure and dependencies | |
| Codebase Analyzer | Analyzes current architecture and code structure | |
| Doc-Code Comparator | Detects gaps between documentation and code | |
| Impact Analyzer | Assesses change implications and risks | |
| PRD Updater | Incremental PRD updates (delta changes) | |
| SRS Updater | Incremental SRS updates (delta changes) | |
| SDS Updater | Incremental SDS updates (delta changes) |
- Automatic Document Generation: PRD, SRS, SDS documents from natural language requirements
- Enhancement Pipeline: Incremental updates to existing projects without full rewrites
- Import Pipeline: Process existing GitHub Issues directly, skipping document generation
- Mode Detection: Automatically detects Greenfield, Enhancement, or Import pipeline
- Pipeline Resume: Resume interrupted pipelines from the last completed stage (
--resume) - Session Persistence: Automatic state persistence for pipeline recovery
- GitHub Integration: Automatic issue creation with dependencies and labels
- Parallel Implementation: Multiple workers implementing issues concurrently
- Automated PR Review: Code review and quality gate enforcement
- Progress Tracking: Real-time visibility into pipeline status
- Regression Testing: Identifies affected tests when modifying existing code
- Doc-Code Gap Analysis: Detects discrepancies between documentation and implementation
- Customizable Workflows: Configure agents, templates, and quality gates
- Node.js 18+ (Download)
- Git 2.30+
- GitHub CLI 2.0+ (optional, for issue/PR management)
