AI-PDLC Handbook Navigator

This skill orients you (Claude) to the AI-PDLC handbook so you can help the user extend, maintain, or explain the lifecycle framework without re-learning it every session.

What this handbook is

A tool-agnostic, end-to-end product-development lifecycle captured as:

• 9 phases — Discover · Define · Design · Plan · Build · Verify · Launch · Operate · Iterate
• 14 role swim lanes — Product Sponsor, Product Owner, Business Analyst, UI/UX Designer, Architect, Security & Compliance, SRE, Project Manager, Developer, QA/Tester, Release Manager, Technical Writer, Sales & Marketing, Customer Support
• ~130 activities mapped to phase × role, each producing an artifact (tangible deliverable) or outcome (decision / state change)
• A swim-lane diagram (content/AI-PDLC-linear.drawio when editing the source handbook repo; rendered to PNG/SVG)
