Route software work through the Agentic Development Lifecycle in Cursor. Use when the user asks to apply ADLC, operate in ADLC, triage work, choose the next ADLC gate, or mentions P0โP7 / rails / prosecute.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Refute-charter review discipline for prosecuting a diff against its ticket. Use when asked to act as a prosecutor, reviewer, or to find reasons a change must not merge.
Run ADLC P7 distillation and maintenance workflows in Codex, including lesson-foundry, rejection-mining, skill-mining, scheduled maintenance, skill-rot, model-ratchet, review-calibration, and gate-fuzzing.
Run the multi-lens P5 adversarial prosecution fan-out and record ADLC P5 review evidence and P6 acceptance packet workflows in Codex. Fans out five independent read-only lenses, dedupes findings, verifies each independently, and loops until dry before recording evidence.
Run ADLC P7 distillation in the GitHub Copilot CLI โ lesson-foundry, rejection-mining, and review-calibration โ turning repeated review findings and PR rejections into permanent, deterministic defenses. Decay-driven maintenance lives in the adlc-maintain skill.
Run the decay-driven ADLC maintenance checks โ stale skills, hot files to re-prosecute, stale tickets, and gate calibration (C10/C12).

Treat agentic development as phases with machine-checkable gates via
adlc <tool> (exit 0 = pass, 1 = operational error, 2 = gate fail).
Prerequisite: adlc --version works (npm i -g @adlc/cli). Run /adlc-init
or adlc init --harness cursor once per repo for the .adlc/ workspace.

LLM-backed gates support --prompt-only: print the prompt, answer it yourself
in-session (no API keys). Prefer that over wiring providers.
Enforcement honesty: Cursor preToolUse deny is best-effort. The
unbypassable control is the CI rail-freeze gate (docs/ci/rails-guard.yml).
MCP tools (packaged): the plugin ships mcp.json โ a lifecycle Roots
proxy (bin/adlc-mcp-wrapper.mjs) that spawns adlc mcp-server only after
resolving a consumer root. Tools: adlc_gate, adlc_prosecute. Requires
adlc on PATH (npm i -g @adlc/cli). Status until an installed-Cursor Roots
proof is recorded: wrapper landed / channel unverified โ do not treat MCP
as production-shipped. Never guess process.cwd(); multi-root ambiguity fails
closed.
P5 caveat: prefer Task fan-out via packaged agents/prosecutor-* (fresh
context per lens). Sequential same-context is a degraded fallback with
weaker independence. For the cross-model risk gate run
npx adversarial-review --providers <a,b>.
