What is the AIDD Framework?

The AIDD Framework is a marketplace of skills, agents, rules, and conventions that make the AI-Driven Development flow concrete inside your AI coding assistant - the full SDLC (plan → implement → review → ship) under rigorous human supervision. It is the open toolset of the AI-Driven Dev community.

The framework is authored for Claude Code, and this repository is its native marketplace. Every release also attaches archives adapted to each tool we support - Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, OpenCode (marketplace or flat format per tool) - so you grab the build that matches your assistant. See Another AI tool? for the per-tool download + install table.

Prerequisites

Just an AI coding assistant. Everything else is per-plugin and optional.

To…	You need
Register & run the marketplace	An AI assistant - Claude Code runs this marketplace natively; for another tool, grab the release archive the aidd-cli builds for it
Use a plugin's extras	Only what that plugin's README lists - e.g. gh / glab for VCS, a ticketing tool for PM

Nothing beyond the AI tool is required just to register the marketplace.

Quick start

Register the marketplace and install the core plugins (Claude Code slash commands, not shell):

/plugin marketplace add ai-driven-dev/framework
/plugin install aidd-context@aidd-framework
/plugin install aidd-refine@aidd-framework
/plugin install aidd-dev@aidd-framework
/plugin install aidd-vcs@aidd-framework

Then set up project context (guided onboard, or direct project-init) and run the dev flow:

• New here? Run /aidd-context:00-onboard - it inspects the project and guides you.
• Whole loop in one command? /aidd-dev:00-sdlc runs plan → implement → review → ship.
• More plugins? Browse the catalog or the /plugin Discover tab.
