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.
