executable code, not prose.**\n\nAI skills written as prose are instructions. Instructions get interpreted. Interpretations\ndrift. When a skill fails, you're re-reading sentences trying to figure out which one was\nmisunderstood. When it works, you're not entirely sure why it did.\n\n**Canopy makes skills programs.**\n\n\u003e 📖 **Full documentation:** \u003chttps://kostiantyn-matsebora.github.io/canopy\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Why Canopy?\n\n```\nCanopy\n├── 🎯 DETERMINISTIC\n│   ├── skills run identically every time\n│   └── the tree is explicit — no interpretation, no drift\n│\n├── ♻️ REUSABLE OPS\n│   ├── define DEPLOY, VERIFY, ROLLBACK once in ops.md\n│   └── one change keeps every skill in sync\n│\n├── 🔎 TRANSPARENT\n│   ├── the tree shows execution order before anything runs\n│   └── when it fails, the failing node is obvious\n│\n├── 📁 ORGANIZED RESOURCES\n│   ├── schemas · templates · constants · policies · verify\n│   └── find what you need instantly\n│\n├── 🔌 AGENTSKILLS-NATIVE\n│   ├── meta-framework on agentskills.io — standard install + frontmatter\n│   └── agents with zero canopy knowledge install and run skills\n│\n├── 🤖 AUTONOMOUS-AGENT READY\n│   ├── workflow engines (LangGraph, CrewAI) drive trees, not prompts\n│   └── the LLM picks branches; the engine traces them deterministically\n│\n├── 🌐 CROSS-PLATFORM\n│   ├── write once; runs on Claude Code and GitHub Copilot unchanged\n│   └── the interpreter adapts at runtime — same SKILL.md\n│\n├── ✨ EDITOR-NATIVE\n│   ├── VS Code: completions, hover docs, go-to-def, live diagnostics\n│   └── broken op refs and signature errors surface before run\n│\n└── 🚀 ZERO LEARNING CURVE\n    ├── /canopy scaffolds, validates, improves, and converts for you\n    └── no syntax to memorize before you ship your first skill\n```\n\n---\n\n## How it works\n\n\u003e The tree is the source of truth. The platform is just a detail.\n\nEvery Canopy skill is a `SKILL.md` file (uppercase, exact spelling per the agentskills.io spec) — platform-agnostic by design. When a skill runs, the `canopy` agent detects whether you're on Claude Code or GitHub Copilot, loads the matching runtime spec, then executes the tree using platform-appropriate primitives. The same skill file works on both platforms without modification.\n\nHere's a complete skill — frontmatter, execution tree, and all:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: release\ndescription: Bump version and update changelog.\ncompatibility: Requires canopy-runtime — kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy\nmetadata:\n  argument-hint: \"[major|minor|patch]\"\n---\n\n\u003e **Runtime required.** canopy-runtime must be active.\n\nParse `$ARGUMENTS` for bump tier (defaults to `patch`).\n\n## Tree\n* release\n  * **EXPLORE_TARGET** \u003e\u003e ctx\n  * SWITCH \u003c\u003c $ARGUMENTS\n    * CASE \u003c\u003c major\n      * BUMP_MAJOR \u003c\u003c ctx.version \u003e\u003e new\n    * CASE \u003c\u003c minor\n      * BUMP_MINOR \u003c\u003c ctx.version \u003e\u003e new\n    * DEFAULT\n      * BUMP_PATCH \u003c\u003c ctx.version \u003e\u003e new\n  * SHOW_PLAN \u003e\u003e new | ctx.files | changelog\n  * ASK \u003c\u003c Proceed? | Yes | No\n  * IF \u003c\u003c No\n    * END Cancelled.\n  * PARALLEL\n    * **WRITE_VERSION** \u003c\u003c ctx.files | new\n    * **WRITE_CHANGELOG** \u003c\u003c new\n  * VERIFY_EXPECTED \u003c\u003c assets/verify/release.md\n\n## Rules\n* Never write without SHOW_PLAN + ASK confirmation.\n\n## Response: new | files_bumped | changelog_status\n```\n\n\u003e Subagent dispatch via `**OP_NAME**` markers, multi-way `SWITCH/CASE`, parallel writes via `PARALLEL`, plus a plan/confirm gate and post-execution verify — this is **Canopy** in action.\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\n**Claude Code** — inside a session, no external CLI needed:\n\n```\n/plugin marketplace add kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy\n/plugin install canopy@canopy\n```\n\n**GitHub Copilot** — one-shot install script:\n\n```bash\ncurl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy/master/install.sh | bash -s -- --target copilot\n```\n\n```powershell\nirm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy/master/install.ps1 | iex -Target copilot\n```\n\nBoth install all three skills (`canopy-runtime`, `canopy`, `canopy-debug`) and self-activate the runtime on first agent load. After install, run `/canopy help` to see what's available.\n\nFor all install paths, flags, and the authoring-vs-execution split, see **[Getting Started](GETTING_STARTED.md)**.\n\nWant a working project to copy from instead? **[canopy-examples](https://github.com/kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy-examples)** ships ready-to-run example skills with the framework vendored — clone it and the skills work in both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot without extra setup.\n\n---\n\n## Where to next\n\n- **[Getting Started](GETTING_STARTED.md)** — full install paths, the `/canopy` operations reference, and a first-skill walkthrough.\n- **[Concepts](CONCEPTS.md)** — how Canopy thinks about skills: tree, ops, subagents, execution model, the runtime/authoring split.\n- **[Terminology](TERMINOLOGY.md)** — glossary of Canopy terms with one-sentence definitions and links to the relevant deep-dive.\n- **[Cheatsheet](CHEATSHEET.md)** — one-page reference: skill anatomy, primitives, op syntax, category dirs.\n- **[Reference](reference/)** — formal spec: framework grammar, primitives (auto-mirrored from canopy-runtime), per-platform runtime rules.\n- **[VS Code Extension](VSCODE.md)** — IntelliSense, semantic diagnostics, hover docs, and go-to-definition for canopy skills.\n- **[Examples](https://github.com/kostiantyn-matsebora/canopy-examples)** — a working project to learn from.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nMIT — see [LICENSE](../LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkostiantyn-matsebora%2Fcanopy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkostiantyn-matsebora%2Fcanopy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkostiantyn-matsebora%2Fcanopy/lists"}
