AI-First Software Development Scaffold Template for SDLC Organization
By

A baker's-dozen of insight crammed into one ring.
Summary
This article describes a GitHub repository template called 'ai-sdlc-scaffold' that provides a structured framework for AI-first software development. The template organizes the software development lifecycle into four phases: Specification, Design, Code, and Deploy. It includes folder structures, artifacts, and agent instructions that define what to check, when to check it, and what actions to take. The scaffold is designed to keep all project knowledge within the repository while allowing human supervision at a high level. It's positioned as a starting point that developers clone or copy and then fill in as their actual project develops, focusing particularly on the pre-coding phases of software development.
