## Useful for

- Run a guided feature workflow with approval gates in Claude Code
- Configure the same workflow engine for Cursor or Codex CLI
- Track requirements, decisions and tests through an audited lifecycle

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:09–00:48: 5293 → 5297 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +95 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 4.6× that of the previous week and a half.
- Hacker News: “Aidlc: Adaptive workflow steering rules for AI coding agents” — 20 points, 17 h ago.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-16 00:59 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
