AI-driven development framework — a Knowledge Layer (As-Is / To-Be), real state management, and a structured Discovery / Delivery workflow for your projects.
L1DDER is a CLI that helps humans and AI agents build software together. It keeps project knowledge split into As-Is (what is built) and To-Be (what is designed), tracks real project state across phases, and drives work through a lightweight Discovery → Delivery loop. It integrates with AI IDEs such as Cursor and Claude.
npm install -g l1dderRequires Node.js 22+. You can also run it without installing:
npx l1dder init# Initialize L1DDER in a new or existing project
l1dder init --ai cursor # greenfield
l1dder init --existing --ai cursor # brownfield (adopt an existing codebase)
# See where you are
l1dder status
# Run a quick task without the full phase cycle
l1dder quick "add a health-check endpoint"
l1dder quick --finish
# Generate a Project Brief for your AI agent
l1dder context
# Check project health
