lid

A structured design-before-code methodology for agentic coding. Stop building the wrong thing — get alignment on what before writing how. Works with any coding agent that reads per-project instructions.

Using Claude Code? Install the plugins — richest integration, auto-invoking skills, slash commands:

Optional: the `lid-experimental` plugin adds opt-in skills that aren't part of the core workflow but layer on top of it. Currently includes `bidirectional-differential` for auditing EARS↔code coherence on a chosen scope. See `plugins/lid-experimental/README.md` for what's in it and how to use it. Install separately:

Using Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Aider, Continue, Junie, Codex, Zed, or other tools? Drop a small rule file into your project that points the agent at an `AGENTS.md`. Copy-paste snippets for each tool are in `docs/setup.md`.
