pdlc-skills adds AI-driven visibility tools for software development

The pdlc-skills project has introduced three new tools designed to enhance visibility into software development processes, particularly when using AI for task completion. These tools, including a statusline, /pdlc-relate, and /pdlc-retro, read from state files to provide insights into project progress, the potential impact of changes, and historical trends. The statusline and /pdlc-status offer real-time project status, highlighting the current stage of features and any blocking issues. The relation graph, generated by /pdlc-relate, visualizes dependencies and impacts between different project features, helping developers understand the scope of changes. AI

IMPACT Enhances visibility and control in AI-assisted software development workflows.
