§1 Claude Code integration

ADLC inside Claude Code

Phase-routing skill, slash-command gates, rails-guard and build-gate hooks, and a multi-lens prosecutor panel. Claude is the model via --prompt-only. No API keys for ADLC gates. Claude answers --prompt-only prompts in-session. Evidence stays under .adlc/.

One-line install

install: Claude Code

npx plugins add voodootikigod/adlc
npm install -g @adlc/cli
/adlc:adlc-init

The plugins installer auto-detects Claude Code and installs the native plugin. Prefer /adlc:adlc-init after the toolkit is on PATH. Native marketplace alternative: /plugin marketplace add voodootikigod/adlc then /plugin install adlc@adlc.

├─ .claude-plugin/  marketplace manifest
├─ skills/adlc/     phase-routing skill

01 / commands

Slash commands for each gate

Each of init, ticket, spec, approve-spec, prosecute, distill, maintain, and autopilot has its own /adlc:* command — P1 interrogation, the G1 human approval, and the operator window onto the issue autopilot included.

/adlc:adlc-init
/adlc:adlc-ticket
/adlc:adlc-spec
/adlc:adlc-approve-spec
/adlc:adlc-prosecute
/adlc:adlc-distill
/adlc:adlc-maintain
/adlc:adlc-autopilot

02 / hook events

Hooks on session, edit, stop, and compaction

SessionStart warns if you are not ready and re-injects the active ticket. PreToolUse enforces rails and the build-gate. PostToolUse watches churn. Stop audits evidence and risk-gated review. PreCompact/PostCompact/SubagentStart/SubagentStop re-inject ticket context so a compaction or subagent boundary never drops rail-protection awareness.

03 / MCP server

The same gate tools, over MCP

A bundled MCP server, auto-discovered at the plugin root, shells to the globally-installed adlc binary and exposes the same allowlisted gate tools the Codex integration ships.

04 / prosecutor agents

Five lenses, then a verifier

/adlc:adlc-prosecute fans out five specialist lenses, dedupes findings, and keeps only what a sixth verifier confirms. It loops until two dry rounds.

05 / routing skill

A skill that routes by phase

The adlc skill is a phase flowchart. Describe the work and it picks a gate so you do not have to memorize twenty tools.

§3 Phase routing

Route by skill or slash command

Ask the adlc skill what you are doing, or call a slash command directly. Evidence stays under .adlc/.

Phase	Claude Code entry	Evidence produced
P0	/adlc:adlc-ticket	schema-valid ticket · coldstart
P1-P2	adlc skill	spec-lint · premortem · parallax · router
P3-P4	PreToolUse hooks	rails-guard · build-gate · flail
P5-P6	/adlc:adlc-prosecute	multi-lens loop · hollow-test · behavior-diff
P7	/adlc:adlc-distill	foundry · rejection mining · maintain

§4 Frozen rails

Session deny plus CI backstop

In the session

Frozen-rail edits are denied

PreToolUse rails-guard blocks Edit/Write/MultiEdit on frozen paths. Bash is not gated in-session (a shell cannot be reliably parsed), so pair the hook with CI.

In CI

Required check on the PR

docs/ci/rails-guard.yml reads rails from the trusted base ref and rejects any PR that touches them, including shell writes the hook never saw.
