A software development lifecycle redesigned for the era when AI agents are the primary authors of code. The core thesis: intent and context are the primary artifacts, and code is a regenerable secondary artifact.

VDLC rebuilds the entire development process around vibe coding instead of bolting AI onto the implementation stage of a traditional SDLC. It consists of:
- Six principles — Intent as Source; Humans Judge, AI Executes; Verification Sets the Pace; Context as Asset; Run Small Cycles, Feed Back Often; Understanding as Ownership
- A six-stage lifecycle — Intent → Context → Co-Construction → Verification → Ship & Observe → Evolve. Stages 1·2·6 are human-led with AI support; stages 3·4·5 are AI-led with human gates (plan approval, final review, deploy approval)
- The Weekly Cycle — Shape Up reinterpreted for vibe coding as a team operating rhythm (4-day build + 1-day cool-down), including prototype-driven shaping and decision records
- Practical assets — stage-by-stage playbooks, document templates, a maturity model, an adoption roadmap, and metrics
