The Manifesto for AI-Driven Development

Four values. Twelve principles. A public record of people building software with AI while keeping judgment, craft, and responsibility in the loop.

What This Is

This repository is the source of truth for the manifesto and its signatories.

It contains:

• the canonical manifesto content
• one public YAML file per signatory
• the small Astro site that publishes the manifesto

This is not a framework, a certification, or a product. It is a shared text for practitioners.

Sign

Signing is public and Git-based: one YAML file, one pull request, no backend.

Open the prefilled GitHub editor

Guide: SIGNATORIES.md
Schema: app/src/content/signatories/_SCHEMA.md

By signing, you say the manifesto reflects how you already work, or how you mean to. You are not signing for your employer.

Contribute

Pull requests are welcome for signatures, small fixes, documentation, site improvements, accessibility, and tests.

Changes to the manifesto itself should start with an issue. The Core Team preserves the canonical text.
