CascadingDev (CDev)
CDev — short for Cascading Development — is a Git-native AI–human collaboration framework that automates documentation, discussion summaries, and code review directly within your repository.
It lets you build self-documenting projects where AI assists in generating and maintaining feature discussions, design docs, and implementation plans — all version-controlled alongside your code.
✨ Key Features
- Git-Integrated Workflow — every discussion, decision, and artifact lives in Git.
- Multi-Provider AI System — automatic fallback chains (Claude → Codex → Gemini) with intelligent model selection (fast/quality).
- Cascading Rules System — nearest
.ai-rules.ymldefines how automation behaves. - Stage-Per-Discussion Model — separate files for feature, design, implementation, testing, and review.
- Pre-commit Hook — automatically maintains summaries, diagrams, and vote tallies.
- Ramble GUI — friendly PySide6/PyQt5 dialog for capturing structured feature requests.
- Deterministic Builds — a reproducible installer bundle you can unzip and run anywhere.
🚀 Quick Start (Developers)

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip wheel PySide6
# 2. Build the installer bundle
