| 29 | ## RPI Orchestration |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The Research, Plan, Implement methodology separates complex tasks into specialized phases. Five agents (task-researcher, task-planner, task-implementor, task-reviewer, and the RPI orchestrator) coordinate through planning files to deliver structured engineering workflows. See the [RPI Documentation](../rpi/README.md) for the full guide. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ## GitHub Backlog Management |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Automates issue discovery, triage, sprint planning, and execution across GitHub repositories. The backlog manager agent orchestrates five distinct workflows with three-tier autonomy control. See the [Backlog Manager Documentation](github-backlog/README.md) for workflow guides. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ## ADO Integration |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Bridges Azure DevOps work items with local Copilot workflows. The ADO integration agent handles work item discovery, planning file creation, pull request generation, and build status monitoring. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Document Builders |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Four specialized agents for creating structured documents. Includes builders for Architecture Decision Records, Business Requirements Documents, Product Requirements Documents, and security plans. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ## Data Pipeline |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Processes and transforms data across formats and systems. Four agents handle data extraction, transformation, validation, and loading workflows. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ## DevOps Quality |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Two agents focused on code quality and deployment reliability. Covers PR review automation and build pipeline analysis. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ## Meta/Engineering |
| 54 | |
| 55 | The prompt builder agent creates and validates prompt engineering artifacts. Supports interactive authoring with sandbox testing for prompts, instructions, agents, and skills. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ## Infrastructure |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Manages cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration. Handles Bicep and Terraform deployments with validation and drift detection. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ## Utility |
| 62 | |
| 63 | General-purpose agents for common development tasks such as file organization, content transformation, and small automation helpers. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ## Design Thinking |
| 66 | |
| 67 | The Design Thinking agents provide AI-assisted coaching through a nine-method, three-space framework for human-centered design. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | | Agent | Purpose | |
| 70 | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| |
| 71 | | `dt-coach` | Coaches teams through all 9 DT methods with session tracking | |
| 72 | | `dt-learning-tutor` | Teaches DT curriculum with exercises and assessments | |
