# HVE Core All

Full bundle of all stable HVE Core agents, prompts, instructions, and skills

## Overview

HVE Core provides the complete collection of AI chat agents, prompts, instructions, and skills for VS Code with GitHub Copilot. This edition includes every artifact across all domains: development workflows, architecture, Azure DevOps, GitHub and Jira backlog workflows, data science, design thinking, security, and more.

Use this edition when you want access to everything without choosing a focused collection.

> [!CAUTION]
> This collection includes security, responsible AI, and supply chain security agents and prompts that are **assistive tools only**.
> They do not replace professional security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, penetration testing, compliance scanners) or qualified human review.
> All AI-generated security and compliance artifacts **must** be reviewed and validated by qualified professionals before use.
> AI outputs may contain inaccuracies, miss critical threats, or produce recommendations that are incomplete or inappropriate for your environment.
