The Seven Questions Checklist is a specialized quality gate designed for Claude Code to enforce the 7 Key Principles of the AI Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It functions as a pre-coding sensor that requires affirmative confirmation on Test-Driven Development (TDD), fail-fast error handling, modularity, code reuse, open-source research, technical debt avoidance, and overall excellence. By blocking progress until all criteria are met, it ensures that AI-generated code is robust, maintainable, and strictly adheres to professional engineering standards, preventing the common pitfalls of hurried or redundant development.
