DaedalAI Lifecycle: Claude Code Plugin for Intelligent Project Lifecycle Orchestration and Automatic Experience Accumulation

DaedalAI Lifecycle is a plugin designed specifically for Claude Code. Through specialist agents, workflow skills, slash commands, and enforced lesson rules, it transforms AI from a passive code generator into an active participant in project management. It covers the complete lifecycle from requirement identification to quality gates, supports both code and non-code projects, and automatically captures and reuses team experience to help teams standardize processes and accumulate knowledge.

With the popularity of AI-assisted programming tools today, how can we make AI not only write code but also manage the entire project lifecycle? DaedalAI Lifecycle aims to make AI the automatic brain of every project, solving the problem of experience scattered in documents and comments, and achieving end-to-end coverage from requirements to release and knowledge accumulation.

Six Core Skills

1. orchestrate: General lifecycle management, including work intent detection and quality gates
2. daedalai-start-work-item: Create branches/work trees and mark task statuses
3. daedalai-create-spec: Generate four-section specification documents
4. daedalai-finalize-work-item: Pre-completion quality checks
5. daedalai-capture-lesson: Classify and deduplicate lessons learned
6. daedalai-bug-from-error: Automatically convert errors into bugs

Five Professional Agents

Agent Name	Model	Responsibility
daedalai-spec-writer	sonnet	Write SPEC documents
daedalai-bug-triage	sonnet	Convert errors into bug reports
daedalai-test-gatekeeper	sonnet	Adjudicate test results
daedalai-lesson-scribe	sonnet	Convert lessons into rules/suggestions
daedalai-anatomy-enricher	haiku	Batch generate file descriptions

Six Slash Commands

/daedalai-start /daedalai-spec /daedalai-finalize /daedalai-lesson /daedalai-bug /daedalai-sprint-status

Enforced Experience Rules

Rules defined via regular expressions are automatically triggered at quality gates (e.g., i18n bare key checks, E-string adjacency checks) to ensure best practices are enforced.

Automatic Knowledge Push

• SessionStart hook: Inject work routing prompts at session start
• UserPromptSubmit hook: Scan input intent and activate corresponding workflows

Applicable Scenarios: Large-scale teams, teams needing knowledge accumulation, process-standardized industries (finance/medical), remote collaboration teams

Value:

• Maintain consistent development standards
• Structured accumulation of lessons learned
• Reduce compliance gaps
• Act as a virtual technical lead

Installation Steps

1. Run /plugin in Claude Code
2. Add the path ~/.claude/plugins/daedalai-lifecycle in the marketplace
3. Install the daedalai-lifecycle plugin

Non-Code Project Support

Version 2.0 adds research, documentation, and audit scenarios, following a document-first lifecycle with peer review as the quality gate.

DaedalAI Lifecycle represents a new direction for AI-assisted development—shifting from code generation to full lifecycle management. It is a platform for knowledge management and process automation. Project code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/clavaud/daedalai-lifecycle
