The VS Code-native AI workflow system for backend engineering.

vstack installs structured agents, skills, instructions, and prompts into `.github/` so GitHub Copilot Agent Mode can run repeatable backend workflows with clear role boundaries.

It provides six delivery roles for end-to-end software work: `product`, `architect`, `designer`, `engineer`, `tester`, and `release`, coordinated by `planner`.

## Quickstart

```bash

pipx install vstack

cd /path/to/your/project

vstack install

vstack validate

```

Then open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, and select the `planner` agent.

## Quick upgrade

Patch or minor upgrade:

```bash

pipx upgrade vstack

cd /path/to/your/project

vstack init

```

Major upgrade:

```bash

pipx upgrade vstack

cd /path/to/your/project

vstack migrate

vstack init

```

If you see a legacy manifest schema warning:

```bash

vstack manifest upgrade

vstack init

```

## Try it now

In Copilot Chat after selecting `planner`:

```text

Run the workflow for this repository change.

```
