A-Dev: Augmented Development Framework¶
A vendor-neutral framework for AI-assisted delivery.
What is A-Dev?¶
A-Dev (Augmented Development) is a discipline-first framework for practitioners, maintainers, and teams to orchestrate interchangeable AI assistants. It reduces coordination tax with living baselines, short quality cycles, and strict evidence trails.
Instead of treating AI as a junior coder that creates technical debt, A-Dev treats AI as a force multiplier that must be governed by a living baseline of non-negotiable rules.
The Core Concept¶
The practitioner governs the system using three tools: 1. Living Baseline 🛡️: A repository of constraints that every AI prompt must read. 2. Quality cycle ⚡: Time is split between creation and verification. 3. Traceability: Every feature links to a plan, a prompt, and evidence.
