A structured design-before-code methodology for agentic coding. Stop building the wrong thing — get alignment on *what* before writing *how*. Works with any coding agent that reads per-project instructions.

Quickstart

**Using Claude Code?** Install the plugins — richest integration, auto-invoking skills, slash commands:

/plugin marketplace add jszmajda/lid
/plugin install linked-intent-dev@jszmajda-lid
/plugin install arrow-maintenance@jszmajda-lid
/linked-intent-dev

**Optional:** the `lid-experimental` plugin adds opt-in skills that aren't part of the core workflow but layer on top of it. Currently includes `bidirectional-differential` for auditing EARS↔code coherence on a chosen scope. See [`plugins/lid-experimental/README.md`](plugins/lid-experimental/README.md) for what's in it and how to use it. Install separately:

/plugin install lid-experimental@jszmajda-lid

**Using Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Aider, Continue, Junie, Codex, Zed, or other tools?** Drop a small rule file into your project that points the agent at an `AGENTS.md`. Copy-paste snippets for each tool are in [`docs/setup.md`](docs/setup.md).

Then just describe what you want to build. The methodology handles the rest. For existing codebases, see [Getting Started: Brownfield Project](#getting-started-brownfield-proje
