What it is

A Microsoft collection of custom agents, coding instructions, prompts, and slash-command skills for GitHub Copilot in VS Code and the Copilot CLI. It follows a research, plan, implement, review workflow and folds security requirements, coding standards, and architecture reviews into each step. Engineering leads can use it to roll out shared practices across a team, or fork it as a source of patterns for their own agent setup.
