The SDLC for the AI Era

AI made building easy.
We make building right.

Governance up top. Cycles down here. Features flow from roadmap → plan → build — with AI inside your SDLC, not around it.

Speed without discipline
breaks software.

Building used to be hard, so we planned carefully.
Now AI builds in minutes — and discipline is vanishing.

SCOPE

You're never done.

Building got cheap. Defining "done" didn't. Every feature inherits one more thing — and one more thing has no end. Effort dropped. The end goal didn't follow.

VALIDATION

You build before you think.

An idea pops in. The AI starts coding it. No persona check, no value test, no validation against where the product is going. Three hours later — why am I building this?

SAFETY

AI takes shortcuts you don't see.

An agent silently disabled row-level security to make a query work. The feature shipped. The vulnerability sat there. AI is trained to make the request succeed — even when success means turning off the guardrails.

You focus on product thinking. AI handles engineering.
Bynary is the system that connects them.

The pipeline

How it works

Five phases. Full accountability. Zero gaps — every artifact traces back to a requirement.

PHASE 01Plan

Describe what you want — in plain English.

AI asks clarifying questions, generates wireframes, and builds structured requirements with verifiable done-when criteria.

  • Interactive widgets + wireframes
  • Done-when criteria, not vibes
  • Humans still own the "what"

I need auth with login, signup, password reset, and Google OAuth

PHASE 02Build

Fully autonomous. Claude Code, in a sandboxed cloud VM.

Writing, testing, iterating until every requirement is met. Infrastructure provisioned automatically.

  • Sandboxed cloud VM per task
  • Writes, tests, and iterates
  • Per-task progress tracking

PHASE 03Review

Per-task review — against verifiable criteria.

AI-verified done-when criteria, inline code diffs, build logs, and AI-powered review chat. Accept, flag defects, or mark missed requirements.

  • AI-verified criteria per task
  • Inline diffs and build logs
  • Accept / defect / missed

PHASE 04Document

Docs that are always current, never stale.

AI-generated user docs, release notes, and technical documentation. WYSIWYG editor with PDF export.

  • User + technical docs
  • Release notes every cycle
  • PDF export, WYSIWYG edits

# Authentication

Bynary provisions session-based auth with email/password and Google OAuth. Tokens are stored in HTTP-only cookies and rotated every 30 minutes.

AUTO-GENERATED · from req/auth-01 through req/auth-03
POST /api/auth/login
  body: { email, password }

PHASE 05Ship

GitHub PR with full audit trail.

Every line of code traced back to its requirement. Ready for your existing CI/CD pipeline.

  • Auto-generated PRs
  • Requirement → code traceability
  • Plugs into your CI/CD

Bring discipline back

Make AI work within your SDLC.
Not around it.

Bynary isn't meant to replace your processes. It's meant to make AI fit inside them — with traceability, review gates, and living docs.
