## What Is Agent Forge?
**Agent Forge** is a collection of **5 specialized AI agents** and **28 prompt commands** that live inside VS Code's Copilot Chat. They interact with GitHub on your behalf — finding issues, reviewing code, tracking team progress, managing releases, and monitoring accessibility — all without leaving your editor.
Type a question in plain English. Get back organized, prioritized, actionable answers.
## Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| **Morning Briefings** | Sweeps every repo you touch — issues, PRs, releases, CI, security alerts, community reactions — and builds a prioritized dashboard |
| **Code Reviews** | Full diff analysis with risk assessment, before/after snapshots, CI results, and inline commenting |
| **Issue Triage** | Priority scoring with community sentiment, release awareness, batch replies, and saved searches |
| **Team Analytics** | Velocity trends, review turnaround, bottleneck detection, code hotspots, and workload balancing |
| **Release Management** | Auto-categorized release notes, readiness checklists, and complete release workflows |
| **Accessibility Tracking** | WCAG/ARIA cross-referenced change monitoring across any configured repos (VS Code by default) |
| **Security Monitoring** | Dependabot alerts, security advisories, and dependency tracking across all repos |
| **Full GitHub Interaction** | Comment, react, merge, close, label, assign, transfer -- without opening your browser |
| **Cross-Repo by Default** | All agents search every repo you can access by default, with flexible per-repo configuration |
## Agents
| Agent | Invoke With | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Daily Briefing** | `@daily-briefing` | Prioritized overview of everything happening across all repos |
| **Issue Tracker** | `@issue-tracker` | Find, triage, reply to, and manage issues with smart search |
| **PR Review** | `@pr-review` | Full code reviews with risk assessment, comments, and merge |
| **Analytics** | `@analytics` | Team metrics, velocity, bottlenecks, and workload insights across all repos |
| **Accessibility Tracker** | `@insiders-a11y-tracker` | Accessibility change tracking with WCAG cross-references across configured repos |
## Quick Start
```
1. Open VS Code with GitHub Copilot installed
2. Open this repo as a workspace folder
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open Copilot Chat
4. Type: @daily-briefing morning briefing
```
> **That's it.** No API keys. No CLI tools. No configuration required. If Copilot Chat works, the agents work.

## Why Agent Forge?
### Before
- Open browser, check notifications
- Click into issue, read comments
- Switch to PR tab, scan the diff
- Open CI results in another tab
- Check Dependabot in yet another tab
- Repeat for every repo you touch
### After
- `@daily-briefing morning briefing`
- Everything in one document
- Prioritized and actionable
- Reply, review, merge — from chat
- Zero browser tabs required
## Accessibility
Every document the agents generate comes in **dual format** -- Markdown for editing in VS Code and HTML optimized for screen readers with:
- Skip links and ARIA landmarks
- Proper heading hierarchy (never skipped)
- Accessible tables with captions and scoped headers
- Descriptive link text (never bare URLs)
- Status communicated through text, not just color
- `prefers-color-scheme` and `prefers-reduced-motion` support
- WCAG AA contrast compliance
## Cross-Platform AI Support
Agent Forge is built for GitHub Copilot, but the agents and prompts can be adapted for other AI platforms. See the [ai-instructions](ai-instructions/) folder for integration guides:
- **GitHub Copilot** -- Native, zero-config support
- **Claude AI** -- Context-based integration
- **ChatGPT / OpenAI** -- Custom instructions and API patterns
## Contributing
We welcome contributions! Agent Forge uses a **fork-and-pull-request workflow** to keep the `main` branch stable and reliable.
1. **Fork** the repo and create a descriptive feature branch
2. **Make** your changes and test thoroughly
3. **Submit** a PR using our [PR template](.github/pull_request_template.md)
4. **Address** review feedback
5. **Celebrate** when your contribution gets merged
> **Direct pushes to `main` are not allowed.** All changes must go through a pull request with at least one approval.
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full guide -- branch naming conventions, commit standards, PR requirements, and what makes a great agent submission.
