AI agent system for VS Code GitHub Copilot (primary) and Claude Code. Specialized sub-agents handle research, design, and implementation with quality-gated handoffs.
See docs/setup.md for installation details, troubleshooting, and local development setup.
Add these to VS Code User Settings:
chat.plugins.enabled turns plugin support on.
chat.plugins.marketplaces registers this repository as a plugin marketplace.
Pick Orchestrator (toonvanvr) from the agent dropdown in Copilot Chat
| Agent | Visibility | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Orchestrator (toonvanvr) | User-facing | Task decomposition, delegation, never implements |
| Researcher (toonvanvr) | Subagent | Codebase analysis, web research, dependency mapping |
| Designer (toonvanvr) | Subagent | Architecture specs, trade-off analysis |
| Implementer (toonvanvr) | Subagent | Code execution per design contract |
| Compiler (toonvanvr) | Subagent | Prompt compression (50-70% token reduction) |
Sub-agents communicate via files, run in isolated contexts, and pass through quality gates. You never interact with them directly.
Talk to the Orchestrator the way you'd describe a task to a colleague — natural language, as specific or vague as you want:
the validate task should also use ignition-validate on all compiled files
Convert all sh scripts like bootstrap into JS, unless they're meant to run client-side and would add a dependency. Have a validation to check asynchronously which hosts have which services working or not.
The orchestrator will interpret your request, research the codebase, design a solution if needed, and implement it — all through specialized sub-agents. See the prompting guide for more examples and tips.
