GitHub Copilot

Setup for Copilot

Connect AIWG to GitHub Copilot

Prompt-first procedure: Describe the outcome you want in your agent conversation. The agent should select and load the appropriate AIWG assets, explain material changes, request any needed approval, and report verification evidence. Exact commands and flags appear only in the CLI reference.

For the complete first-time journey, start with Install, Connect, and Verify.

Open a terminal in the VS Code workspace’s main project folder:

Use AIWG to complete this documented outcome: Open a terminal in the VS Code workspace’s main project folder
Have it inspect the current state, explain the plan, ask before material
changes, and report the result with verification evidence.

Reload VS Code. In Copilot Chat, ask it to run the agent-owned context regeneration procedure, preview the project context, preserve team-authored instructions, and apply the result. Then ask Copilot to report whether AIWG is active, which `.github/` instruction files it sees, the installed frameworks, and one next action.

If Node.js/npm are missing or report permission errors, begin with Install Node.js and npm Safely. Advanced agents can use the Copilot operational reference.
