What is RStack?
RStack SDLC is a portable AI-SDLC framework developed by Richardson Gunde. It gives AI coding agents a repeatable, governed software delivery lifecycle instead of ad-hoc prompting.Quickstart

Why RStack?
One-shot coding agents often fail because they skip process. They code before requirements are clear, over-edit unrelated files, pass work without testing, or forget previous mistakes. RStack fixes this by making the agent follow an explicit lifecycle with contracts and validation at every stage.RStack ships with a native Pi adapter today, but the framework is portable. The core assets are Markdown/JSON-compatible and can be used from Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or any agent harness.
