// init
Get Started
Three steps. Two git commands. One $10/month subscription. That is all it takes to activate a full agent engineering team in VS Code.
// prerequisites
Before you start, you need:
- ✓VS Code — Any recent version. The agent system is built into Copilot Chat.
- ✓GitHub Copilot subscription — Individual plan ($10/mo). Copilot Chat and Agent mode must be enabled.
- ✓A GitHub account — Needed to fork the repo and push your own projects.
// setup
Three Steps
// step 1
Fork the repo and check out copilot-settings
Fork oh-my-copilot on GitHub, then locally check out the copilot-settings branch. This branch contains only the .github/ directory — no app code, no dependencies.
// step 2
Copy .github/ into your project
Copy the entire .github/ folder from the cloned repo into the root of your own project. VS Code and Copilot will automatically pick up all instructions, skills, agents, and prompts inside it — no extra configuration required.
// step 3
Open Agent mode and talk to Boss
Open your project in VS Code. In Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode and select the Boss agent. Describe what you want to build in plain language — Boss will route your request to the right agent workflow automatically.
Try starting with: “I want to add user authentication to my app.”
