Agentic Engineering SDLC

Purpose: integrate agents into software delivery while keeping human understanding, traceability, and verification intact.

Use this section by itself when a team needs operating rules for agent discovery, planning, implementation, tests, documentation, and review.

Inputs

  • Repository instructions.
  • Agent permissions.
  • Human verification gates.
  • Test expectations.
  • Documentation and traceability requirements.

Outputs

  • Agent operating model.
  • AGENTS.md outline.
  • Prompt library.
  • PR checklist.
  • Traceability model.

Agent Task Contract

Help the reader define bounded agent work, evidence requirements, test expectations, and human gates. Agents may help keep artifacts current, but humans remain responsible for acceptance.

Public Quality-Gate Example

House Style System is a small implementation example for human-facing writing. It runs deterministic checks and synthetic evals before handoff. The gate can flag repeatable writing risks, but a person still owns truth, evidence, reader fit, and final approval.
