Technical architectural diagram of the CDS (Contract-Driven Specification) Pipeline. The flow is divided into three primary zones. The top zone, Project Requirements, shows a "Document Bloat" of Markdown and Gherkin files being processed through a Pre-Analysis Elicit phase. This feeds into a Generation step that creates a machine-readable Contract Hierarchy: Project (Invariants/Rules), Plan (DAG/Sequencing), and Task (Specific Obligations). The center zone is the Agent System, featuring specialized agents for Code Generation, Peer Review, Documentation, and Research. These agents interact with a central Context/Knowledge RAG index and a Tool Registry. The bottom zone shows the Execution Pipeline: 01 Validate (Schema check), 02 Lint (Conflict detection), 03 Graph (Parallelism), 04 Hydrate (Context injection), 05 Orchestrate (Task execution), and 06 Enforce (Hard gates). If a security rule is broken, a Breach Semantic halts the process. The final outputs are Implementation code, fulfilled Evidence, and Verified status.
I spent the last couple of weeks building a solution to the AI Intern Wall.
Prompting wasn't enough to stop lazy code (// TODO) or document-to-token bloat from overlapping Markdown/Gherkin docs.
The fix: A 12-step CDS pipeline. It moves agents from guessing to hard structural enforcement.
