Driftless — AI-Native SDLC CLI for Coding Agents
**Driftless** is a local-first CLI that provides an **outer-loop SDLC workflow layer** around [OpenSpec](https://openspec.sh)'s **inner-loop specification workflow**. It is designed for **coding agents** like **Claude Code** and **Cursor** to manage engineering work across the full lifecycle: from idea to specification, planning, implementation, verification, review, delivery, and completion.
