SAFe x AI-DLC Skill

TEMPLATE: This skill uses {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens. Replace with your project values before use.

Purpose

Encode the SAFe x AI-DLC fusion so agents structure multi-issue programs consistently: SAFe supplies the hierarchy and guardrails, AI-DLC supplies the cadence and the human checkpoint. Inside a program that adopts this fusion, sprints give way to Bolts, because agent teams elaborate, build, and verify in hours rather than weeks. Adopting the fusion is a per-program choice; the standard sprint path stays valid, and single isolated tickets route to safe-workflow instead.

When This Skill Applies

• Turning an audit, epic, or initiative into an executable program
• Structuring work in the tracker as initiative, projects, milestones, issues, and sub-issues
• Breaking an initiative into Units of Work and sequencing them into Bolts
• Wiring dependencies so gates land before the fixes they verify
• Running a Bolt: elaborate, validate with the human, construct, verify gates are real, evidence, merge
