What is AIDLC?
AIDLC is a VS Code extension that brings Claude Code's agents and skills into your editor to automate stages of the software development lifecycle. Instead of hopping between tools, you can generate and manage SDLC artifacts — product requirements documents, test plans, release notes, and more — directly inside VS Code. A sidebar gives real-time tracking of project status so you can see where each piece of work stands without leaving your workflow. AIDLC is also customizable: you can add your own personal agents and define custom pipeline steps to match how your team actually builds software. It's aimed at developers and engineering teams who already work in VS Code and want AI assistance woven through requirements, testing, and release processes rather than bolted on as a separate app. By embedding agentic automation into the IDE, AIDLC turns VS Code into an AI-driven SDLC management surface.
