Everything you need for AI-assisted development

Three batteries-included components that work together to accelerate your workflow.

18 Agent Skills

Specialized Copilot agents for planning, TDD, architecture review, refactoring, documentation, and more — each with deep domain knowledge.

Power Prompts

The /build orchestrator walks you through all 7 phases. The /prd-create prompt turns requirements into trackable JSON deliverables with acceptance criteria.

Mobile Workflow

Manage your entire project from your phone by posting /agent commands as GitHub issue comments. Check progress, queue builds, trigger Copilot — anywhere.

Portable by Design

Everything lives in .github/. One installer script drops it into any existing repo — no framework lock-in, no project restructuring required.

TDD Built In

The /tdd skill enforces a red-green-refactor loop so Copilot writes tests first, catches regressions, and produces production-grade code by default.

Full Lifecycle Coverage

From fuzzy idea to shipped QA — the toolkit provides structure at every stage: ideation, research, PRD, kanban, execution, and quality review.

17 skills. Every phase covered.

Invoke any skill from Copilot Chat with a single slash command.

Planning & Design
/write-a-prdCreate a PRD via interview, codebase exploration, and module design
/prd-to-planTurn a PRD into a multi-phase plan using tracer-bullet vertical slices
/prd-to-issuesBreak a PRD into independently-grabbable GitHub issues
/grill-meGet relentlessly interviewed about a plan until every branch is resolved
/design-an-interfaceGenerate radically different interface designs using parallel sub-agents
/request-refactor-planCreate a detailed refactor plan with tiny commits via interview
Development
/tddTest-driven development with strict red-green-refactor loop
/triage-issueInvestigate a bug, identify root cause, file a GitHub issue with TDD fix plan
/improve-codebase-architectureExplore codebase for architectural improvements and deeper modules
/migrate-to-shoehornMigrate test files from as type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn
/scaffold-exercisesCreate exercise directory structures with problems, solutions, and explainers
Tooling & Setup
/setup-pre-commitSet up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged, Prettier, type checking, tests
/git-guardrails-claude-codeBlock dangerous git commands before they execute
Writing & Knowledge
/write-a-skillCreate new skills with structure, progressive disclosure, and bundled resources
/edit-articleEdit and improve articles by restructuring sections and tightening prose
/ubiquitous-languageExtract a DDD-style ubiquitous language glossary from conversation
/obsidian-vaultSearch, create, and manage notes in an Obsidian vault with wikilinks

Ship with confidence using 7 structured phases

The /build prompt orchestrates your entire project through the 7 Phases of AI Development framework — keeping Copilot focused and your codebase clean at every step.

1
Idea → IDEA.md
Refine your concept via structured interview to produce a clear, scoped brief.
2
Research optional · → RESEARCH.md
Cache external dependency docs so Copilot has fresh context.
3
Prototype skipped by default
Explore design options with throw-away code before committing to an approach.
4
PRD → prd.json + progress.md
Document the end state with acceptance criteria and dependency chains.
5
Kanban → GitHub Issues
Break the PRD into issues with dependencies, labels, and parallel work clusters.
6
Execution
Implement wave by wave using TDD, with Copilot driving each issue to a PR.
7
QA
Verify quality, create new tickets for findings, and loop back to execution.
