## AI overview

This guide explains the agentic SDLC, a software development lifecycle in which AI agents lead work across planning, coding, testing, review, release, production operations, and incident response. Engineers define intent, review outcomes, and govern the process. It emphasizes that scaling from one agent to many requires context, human oversight, guardrails, visibility, and measurable ROI.
