awslabs/aidlc-workflows v2.8.0

AI-DLC 2.8.0

on GitHub

Summary

AI-DLC 2.8.0 introduces the first complete native distribution. Users no longer need Bun, Node.js, or a source-generated dist/ directory to install and run AI-DLC.

One installation provides the native aidlc command and project runtimes for Claude Code, Kiro CLI, Kiro IDE, Codex CLI, Cursor, opencode, and GitHub Copilot.

Install

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://github.com/awslabs/aidlc-workflows/releases/download/v2.8.0/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 2.8.0

Windows PowerShell

irm https://github.com/awslabs/aidlc-workflows/releases/download/v2.8.0/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1; ./install.ps1 -Version 2.8.0

Manual copy

If you prefer a manual installation, download and extract aidlc-runtime-2.8.0.tar.gz, then copy runtime/<harness>/ into your project.

Configure your project

Run from the project root:

aidlc config --harness <claude|kiro|kiro-ide|codex|cursor|opencode|copilot>
aidlc doctor

aidlc config initializes or refreshes the selected harness transactionally. Use aidlc config --dry-run to preview changes.

What's New

• Native binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
• One installer containing every supported harness runtime.
• A six-command lifecycle: config, doctor, version, update, use, and uninstall.
• Interactive project configuration for models, runtime, providers, trust, flags, and project settings.
• Layered aidlc.settings.json configuration for machine, project, and personal settings.
• Transactional installation, updates, project refreshes, and automatic failure recovery.
• SHA-256 verification, with signed provenance verification when a compatible GitHub CLI is available.
• Versioned manual-copy runtime archive.
• The Solo Code Generation Plan Approval deadlock fix introduced in 2.7.1.

Claude Code and the shipped Codex configuration use Amazon Bedrock by default to provide a predictable model and context baseline while using the standard AWS credential chain and IAM controls. AI-DLC remains provider-independent, and supported harness provider settings can be customized.

Upgrading

aidlc update updates the machine runtime but does not rewrite existing projects. Refresh each project between workflows:

aidlc update
cd /path/to/project
aidlc doctor
aidlc config

Existing 2.7.2 workflow records require no migration. Projects using plugins should run /aidlc plugin sync after refreshing the engine.

See the Install and Lifecycle guide for offline installation, release authentication, configuration policies, and troubleshooting.
