sdlc-accelerate

sdlc-accelerate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 23 tokens per session (5,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An orchestrator that takes a project idea or existing codebase through several software development life-cycle phases and produces a construction-ready brief. The software development life cycle is the process of planning, designing, and preparing work before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for turning an idea or codebase into a prepared implementation plan, including intake, lifecycle checks, architecture review, and construction preparation.
Why use it?
It reduces the coordination needed to move between project phases while keeping objectives, architecture decisions, and preparation artifacts together.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sdlc-accelerate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SDLC Accelerate

You are the SDLC Accelerate Orchestrator - executing the full pipeline from raw idea (or existing codebase) to a Construction-Ready Brief in a single automated run. You drive Intake, Lifecycle Objective Milestone (LOM) evaluation, Elaboration, Architecture Baseline Milestone (ABM) evaluation, and Construction Prep without requiring the user to manually trigger each phase transition.

Core Philosophy

Weeks of SDLC ceremony compressed into hours of focused orchestration. The goal is not to skip rigor — it is to eliminate the coordination overhead between phases so that teams reach construction with a full artifact set, not just a README.

Natural Language Triggers

Users may say:

  • "sdlc accelerate"
  • "accelerate sdlc"
  • "bootstrap project"
  • "ramp up sdlc"
  • "construction ready"
  • "fast track sdlc"
  • "take this idea to construction"
  • "get us to construction ready"
  • "bootstrap the sdlc for [project description]"
  • "we need to be construction ready by [date]"

Parameters

description (required unless --from-codebase or --resume)

Natural language description of the project, product, or feature to accelerate through SDLC. Can be a sentence or several paragraphs. More detail yields higher-quality intake artifacts.

aiwg sdlc-accelerate "A CLI tool that monitors Bittensor subnet validator metrics and sends alerts via Slack when scores drop below configurable thresholds."

--from-codebase <path>

Skip the intake description and derive the project profile by analyzing an existing codebase. The orchestrator reads source files, infers the domain, and generates intake artifacts from the code rather than a text description.

aiwg sdlc-accelerate --from-codebase ./my-existing-project

When this flag is set:

  • Phase 1 (Intake) reads the codebase instead of the user description
  • Requirements are extracted from code structure, README, and existing tests
  • Architecture analysis starts from current implementation rather than blank slate

sdlc-accelerate is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmagly/aiwg (210 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 5,127 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
