The VS Code-native AI workflow system for backend engineering.
vstack installs structured agents, skills, instructions, and hooks 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
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:
pipx upgrade vstack
cd /path/to/your/project
vstack init
Major upgrade:
pipx upgrade vstack
cd /path/to/your/project
vstack migrate
vstack init
If you see a legacy manifest schema warning:
vstack manifest upgrade
vstack init
Try it now
In Copilot Chat after selecting planner:
