Tikal Knowledge’s adlc-team-skills gives coding agents a shared place to find team rules and decisions. It is useful when conventions live in individual developers’ configuration files and drift apart as people switch projects or assistants.
The team-boot workflow supplies a small index of rule names and descriptions at session start. An agent retrieves the complete rule when the task matches it, rather than loading the whole collection into every conversation. The directives live in a Git repository so changes can be shared and reviewed through pull requests.
Installation has two levels. A standard skills installer adds the skill files for compatible agents. The separate adlc-skills-cli also generates slash commands and connects session-start events. A team expecting automatic startup behavior needs that additional integration; installing plain skill files alone is a different setup. The first-run flow helps connect or scaffold the team’s directives repository.
Related skills cover task briefs, evaluation suites and recording lessons from completed work. team-repair checks the collection and can propose removing rules that evaluation suggests are no longer needed. These mechanisms help maintain instructions, but they do not guarantee that an agent follows them or produces correct code. The repository uses the MIT license.
