copilot-kit

GitHub Copilot agents, prompts, skills, and hooks — composable Copilot tooling for spec-driven AI development.

Used as a git submodule (at .copilot/) to provide:

• .github/agents/ — Copilot agents for every stage of the spec-kit lifecycle
• .github/prompts/ — slash-command prompts for VS Code / Copilot Chat
• .github/skills/ — reusable skill modules
• .github/hooks/ — session-logger hook

Composable Kit Architecture

copilot-kit is the Copilot tooling layer. Pair it with:

Kit	Submodule path	Provides
speckit-core	.speckit/	spec-kit templates, scripts, memory stubs
claude-kit (coming soon)	.claude/	Claude-specific tooling

Note: speckit.* agents reference .specify/templates/ which is provided by speckit-core. When used without speckit-core, those agents are automatically skipped at bootstrap time.

When paired with speckit-core, this repo now exposes .specify/ai-kit.manifest.json so the generic linker in speckit-core can attach Copilot-owned files without hardcoding .github/* logic in every consumer.

Usage

Via github-repo-factory (Recommended)

Set copilot_enabled: true in your repos.json entry — the bootstrap workflow handles everything automatically.

Manual Installation

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jwill824/copilot-kit/main/install.sh)

If .speckit/ is already present, the installer delegates to:

bash .speckit/.specify/scripts/bash/link-ai-integration.sh copilot .copilot

If speckit-core is not present, copilot-kit falls back to its standalone linking behavior.

Spec-Kit Workflow

/speckit.constitution  →  /speckit.specify  →  /speckit.clarify
/speckit.plan          →  /speckit.tasks    →  /speckit.implement  →  /speckit.analyze
