Can I use this in Claude Code's cowork mode?

No, the setup skill requires a full Claude Code CLI session to properly access local environment variables and project directories.

Will running /setup overwrite my existing settings?

No, the skill is idempotent. It reads your existing .ai-dlc/settings.yml and uses those values as defaults, only updating what you explicitly change.

What is the purpose of the AI-DLC setup skill?

The setup skill initializes your project to work with the AI-DLC methodology by creating a configuration file that tells Claude how to interact with your specific tools like Jira, GitHub, or Slack.

What is the difference between Unit and Intent branch strategies?

Unit branches organize changes into individual PRs for each task, while Intent branches group multiple units into a single autonomous flow for complex feature builds.

Which ticketing providers does it support?

It currently supports GitHub Issues, Jira, Linear, and GitLab Issues, often with zero-config auto-detection through MCP tools.

Configures and initializes the AI-DLC development environment by auto-detecting project infrastructure and integrations.

The AI-DLC Setup skill is a dedicated configuration assistant designed to align Claude Code with the AI-DLC 2026 Methodology. It automates the discovery of your Version Control System (VCS), hosting provider, CI/CD pipelines, and available MCP tools for ticketing and communication. By guiding users through a structured setup wizard, it generates a standardized .ai-dlc/settings.yml file, ensuring that all subsequent AI-driven development tasks are perfectly tailored to your project's specific ecosystem and branching strategies.
