SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PDLC Autopilot provides a centralized orchestration layer for end-to-end product development using the Director/Actor/Critic pattern. It ensures structure, traceability, and automated artifact generation across the SDLC lifecycle, reducing drift and manual overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates SDLC workflows: coordinates requirements, design, tasks, implementation, and validation via Kiro sub-skills.
  • Batch-driven execution: groups work by file, assigns actors, and runs parallel validation for efficiency.
  • Stateful & recoverable: persists workflow state in spec.json to resume after interruptions and supports autonomous progression.
  • Auto-generation & validation: auto-generates missing artifacts (requirements, design, tasks) and runs dual-perspective validations to ensure quality.

Quick Start

Say "SDLC" to start the end-to-end feature development loop now.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate end-to-end SDLC workflows for feature development?

You can orchestrate end-to-end SDLC workflows by coordinating Director, Actor, and Critic roles to manage requirements, design, tasks, implementation, and validation. This reduces manual overhead and ensures traceability across the entire product development lifecycle.

How does AI-driven batched workflow execution handle parallel tasks?

AI-driven batched workflow execution groups work by file, assigns actors to each group, and runs parallel validation. This Director/Actor/Critic pattern ensures efficient processing and dual-perspective quality validation across multiple development tasks simultaneously.

Can I resume feature development workflows after an interruption?

Yes, you can resume feature development workflows after interruptions because the system persists workflow state in a spec.json file. This stateful recovery mechanism allows autonomous progression and supports continuing work across batched tasks seamlessly.

Does the SDLC orchestration loop auto-generate missing project artifacts?

The SDLC orchestration loop auto-generates missing artifacts such as requirements, design documents, and task lists. It then applies dual-perspective validation to ensure these auto-generated artifacts meet quality standards before proceeding.

What is the best way to start an autonomous SDLC loop for implementing specs?

The best way to start an autonomous SDLC loop for implementing specs is to trigger the workflow with a simple intent command like saying "SDLC". This initiates the centralized orchestration layer to handle the end-to-end feature development process.

Why does centralized SDLC orchestration reduce drift in product development?

Centralized SDLC orchestration reduces drift by applying structured Director, Actor, and Critic roles to coordinate requirements and validation. It ensures traceability and automates artifact generation, minimizing manual overhead and keeping development aligned with original specs.
