About
The story behind Solo SDLC and why it exists.
The Problem
Solo developers ship features alone. No code reviews, no QA team, no dedicated DevOps engineer. Every decision — from architecture to deployment — falls on one person.
AI coding assistants are powerful, but without structure they produce ad-hoc results. You get code that works today and breaks tomorrow. No consistency, no process, no learning between features.
Enterprise SDLCs exist, but they're built for teams of ten or fifty. The overhead crushes a solo builder. You need the discipline without the bureaucracy.
The Solution
Solo SDLC is a structured, AI-native development pipeline designed for one person. Seven phases, each with a clear purpose and gate check. Agents handle the heavy lifting. You make the decisions.
Every feature follows the same path: discover the problem, design the solution, plan the work, build it, verify it, ship it, and learn from it. The pipeline gets smarter with every cycle.
It's not a framework or a library — it's a development process that runs on top of your existing stack. Install the toolkit, and your Claude Code sessions gain structure, discipline, and repeatability.
What We Believe
Structure beats talent
A disciplined process produces better results than raw skill. Repeatable beats brilliant.
Humans decide, agents execute
AI handles the grunt work. You handle the judgment calls. Nothing ships without your approval.
Small batches, fast feedback
Ship small features often. Learn from each cycle. Compound improvements over time.
Write it down
Every phase produces artifacts. Context is documented, not remembered. Your future self will thank you.
The process improves itself
Retrospectives capture patterns. Skills get updated. Your pipeline gets smarter with every feature.
