PDLC

Stop hallucinating architecture. Start shipping with clarity.

PDLC gives your AI coding assistant a structured kickoff workflow that transforms vague ideas into production-ready documentation—Product Briefs, PRDs, Design Systems, ERDs, and TDDs—before a single line of code is written.

⚡ Quick Start

# Install the kickoff bundle that fits your project
npx mountd add meganopus/pdlc kickoff-light-bundle  # For MVPs & startups
npx mountd add meganopus/pdlc kickoff-heavy-bundle  # For enterprise projects

# Then run the interactive kickoff workflow
/project-kickoff-light   # or /project-kickoff-heavy

🎯 Why Kickoff Bundles?

AI coding assistants are powerful, but they often start building before understanding the full picture. The result? Constant refactoring, missed requirements, and technical debt from day one.

Kickoff Bundles solve this by:

Problem	Solution
🤯 "The AI kept changing its approach mid-feature"	Locks in architecture decisions upfront via TDD
📝 "We have no documentation"	Auto-generates Product Brief, PRD, and Design System
🔄 "Every new feature breaks assumptions"	Creates ERD and API Contracts before implementation
🎨 "The UI is inconsistent everywhere"	Establishes Design Tokens and Wireframe standards

📦 Choose Your Bundle

kickoff-light-bundle — Move Fast, Ship Smart

For: MVPs, startups, internal tools, hackathons

One workflow installs everything you need to go from idea → implementation in minutes:

• Integrated Spec (docs/spec.md) — Combined Product Brief, PRD, and FSD in one file.
• Tech Stack & ERD — Essential architecture decisions and data models.
• Traceable Task List (docs/todo.md) — Direct-to-code checklist instead of Jira tickets.

npx mountd add meganopus/pdlc kickoff-light-bundle

---

kickoff-heavy-bundle — Enterprise-Grade Planning

For: Regulated industries, multi-team projects, platform engineering

A comprehensive suite for predictability and scale:

• Global Artifacts — Semantic Versioned Product Brief, PRD, and Design System.
• Core Architecture — Centralized ERD, API Standards, and Tech Stack.
• Feature Artifacts — Per-feature FSD, API Contracts (OpenAPI).
• Sprint Stories — Granular, estimated tickets for agile teams.

📖 How It Works

1. Install a bundle → Skills and workflows are copied to your .agent/ directory
2. Run the kickoff workflow → Answer questions about your project
3. Review generated docs → Product Brief, PRD, Design System, etc.
4. Start building → Your AI assistant now has full context
