This repository supports the creation and publication of MkDocs-based guidance developed under the AI for Software Development Lifecycle (AI4SDLC) initiative led by the DoD CIO. It is part of an ongoing effort to provide secure, mission-aware adoption practices for Generative AI (GenAI) within U.S. Department of Defense software delivery environments.
This site is designed using MkDocs with the Material for MkDocs theme. It provides modular, evolving guidance—referred to as Plays—to help teams and leadership safely and effectively integrate GenAI into all phases of the software development lifecycle.
- Trust, traceability, and accountability in GenAI-assisted workflows
- Role-specific prompting practices and augmentation patterns
- Pipeline-integrated verification, validation, and policy enforcement
- Secure use of GenAI in classified, mission-critical, and export-controlled environments
