## Your system for spec-driven agentic development.

[Agent OS](https://buildermethods.com/agent-os) transforms AI coding agents from confused interns into productive developers. With structured workflows that capture your standards, your stack, and the unique details of your codebase, Agent OS gives your agents the specs they need to ship quality code on the first try—not the fifth.

Use it with:

✅ **GitHub Copilot** (currently supported)

✅ New products or established codebases.

✅ Big features, small fixes, or anything in between.

✅ Any language or framework.

### Quick Start

Install Agent OS with npm:

```bash
cd your-project
npx @rosstaco/agent-os init --github-copilot
```

This will create:
- `.agent-os/` directory with workflows, standards, and converted prompts
- `.vscode/settings.json` configured to register prompts with Copilot

**Available Commands:**

After installation, use these prompts in GitHub Copilot Chat:

- `#file:.agent-os/commands/plan-product/plan-product.prompt.md` - Plan and document product mission and roadmap
- `#file:.agent-os/commands/shape-spec/shape-spec.prompt.md` - Shape feature specifications  
- `#file:.agent-os/commands/write-spec/write-spec.prompt.md` - Write detailed specifications
- `#file:.agent-os/commands/create-tasks/create-tasks.prompt.md` - Create implementation tasks
- `#file:.agent-os/commands/implement-tasks/implement-tasks.prompt.md` - Execute implementation tasks

**How it works:**
- Installs directly to your project's `.agent-os/` directory
- Copies standards (coding style, conventions, tech stack guidelines)
- Copies workflows (reusable instruction components)
- Converts commands to `.prompt.md` format for Copilot
- Configures VS Code to register prompts with Copilot's chat interface
