Inside AIEOS: AI Can Write the Spec. It Can't Approve It.

Short summary

AIEOS is a framework for validating AI-generated engineering artifacts (specs, PRDs, designs) throughout a software lifecycle. Core principle: separate generation from validation, freeze artifacts before downstream work, and use validators that judge without helping. Implements 15 layers (8 sequential + 7 cross-cutting) with cryptographic attestation via Sigstore.

• •Three core rules: separation of prompt/template/validator, freeze-before-promote versioning, validators that judge not help
• •15-layer architecture from strategy to diagnostics with production insights feeding back into product intelligence
• •Sigstore conformance attestation prevents unvalidated adapters from registering

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
