CopilotForge

One command to set up AI-powered coding assistants in any project.

CopilotForge scaffolds GitHub Copilot skills, agents, memory, and cookbook recipes into any repo — from a plain-English project description.

Quick Start

cd your-project
npx copilotforge init

Then open your AI assistant (GitHub Copilot Chat, Claude Code, etc.) and say:

"set up my project"

Answer a few questions and CopilotForge generates a complete Copilot-ready structure for your project.

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | npx copilotforge init | Set up CopilotForge in your project (full scaffold) | | npx copilotforge init --minimal | Set up with planner skill only (2 files) | | npx copilotforge init --yes / -y | Skip all prompts (autonomous mode, auto-overwrite, auto-commit) | | npx copilotforge doctor | Check if setup is correct | | npx copilotforge uninstall | Remove CopilotForge files | | npx copilotforge --version | Show version |

What It Does

The init command scaffolds the full CopilotForge structure into your project:

.github/skills/planner/SKILL.md       ← The wizard skill
.github/skills/planner/reference.md   ← Reference material
FORGE.md                              ← Project control panel
.copilot/agents/planner.md            ← Planner agent
forge-memory/decisions.md             ← Architecture decisions
forge-memory/patterns.md              ← Coding patterns
forge-memory/preferences.md           ← User preferences
cookbook/hello-world.ts                ← Starter recipe (TypeScript)
cookbook/hello-world.py                ← Starter recipe (Python)
docs/GETTING-STARTED.md               ← Quick-start guide

With --minimal, you get only the planner skill (2 files):

.github/skills/planner/SKILL.md       ← The wizard skill
.github/skills/planner/reference.md   ← Reference material

How It Works

1. CLI scaffolds files — npx copilotforge init puts the full structure into your repo
2. Wizard runs in chat — Open Copilot Chat and say "set up my project"
3. A few questions — Project name, stack, memory prefs, testing prefs, skill level, extras shopping list
4. Full scaffolding — Skills, agents, memory, and cookbook recipes generated for your stack
