14 Agentic Development Skills for GitHub Copilot
Superpowers Copilot brings the full Superpowers agentic skills framework to GitHub Copilot inside VS Code. All 14 specialized development skills — brainstorming, TDD, code review, debugging, plan execution, subagent delegation, and more — are adapted to work as Copilot Chat participants.
The framework follows the 1% rule methodology: each skill handles one focused concern, delegates execution via subagents, and produces structured, traceable outputs. This turns Copilot from a code completion tool into a full structured development lifecycle assistant.
- 14 Specialized Skills — Brainstorming, TDD, code review, debugging, plan execution, subagent delegation, git worktrees, and more
- VS Code Native — Skills work as Copilot Chat participants, fully integrated with the editor
- Subagent Delegation — Each skill spawns focused subagents to handle execution details
- 1% Rule Methodology — One concern per step, structured and auditable
- Structured Development Lifecycle — Ideation, specification, implementation, review, and deployment
- Markdown-Based Skills — No compiled code required; skills are defined as structured Markdown templates
