Anthropic's AI-native SDLC playbook replaces line-by-line review with gate approvals

Anthropic published an AI-native SDLC playbook featuring six stages (plan, design, build, test, deploy, maintain), each ending in a committed markdown artifact. Agents generate and verify content, while humans approve at gates.

Faros AI telemetry shows high-AI-adoption teams merge 98% more PRs with 91% longer review times and 154% larger PR sizes. The bottleneck has shifted from writing code to deciding what to write and verifying results, paralleling the 1957 shift from assembly to compilers.

The post explores what replaces line-by-line review: evals in CI, verifier sub-agents, or hooks on protected paths.
