| 9 | Install HVE Core collections as Copilot CLI plugins for terminal-based | |
| 10 | AI-assisted development workflows. | |
| 11 | | |
| 12 | ## Prerequisites | |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | - GitHub Copilot CLI installed and authenticated | |
| 15 | - Git symlink support enabled (Windows: Developer Mode + | |
| 16 | `git config --global core.symlinks true`) | |
| 17 | | |
| 18 | ## Register hve-core as a Plugin Marketplace | |
| 19 | | |
| 20 | ```bash | |
| 21 | copilot plugin marketplace add microsoft/hve-core | |
| 22 | ``` | |
| 23 | | |
| 24 | ## Browse Available Plugins | |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | Type `/plugin` in a Copilot CLI chat session to browse available plugins. | |
| 27 | | |
| 28 | ## Install a Plugin | |
| 29 | | |
| 30 | ```bash | |
| 31 | copilot plugin install rpi@hve-core | |
| 32 | copilot plugin install hve-core-all@hve-core | |
| 33 | ``` | |
| 34 | | |
| 35 | ## Available Plugins | |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | Plugin | Description | | |
| 38 | |--------------------|---------------------------------------------| | |
| 39 | | rpi | Research, Plan, Implement, Review lifecycle | | |
| 40 | | github | GitHub issue management | | |
| 41 | | ado | Azure DevOps integration | | |
| 42 | | prompt-engineering | Prompt analysis and building | | |
| 43 | | git | Git operations | | |
| 44 | | project-planning | PRDs, BRDs, ADRs, architecture diagrams | | |

| 48 | | |
| 49 | ## Plugin Contents | |
| 50 | | |
| 51 | Each plugin includes: | |
| 52 | | |
| 53 | - **Agents** — Custom chat agents for specialized workflows | |
| 54 | - **Commands** — Task prompts accessible via the CLI | |
| 55 | - **Instructions** — Coding standards and conventions | |
| 56 | - **Skills** — Self-contained skill packages (hve-core-all only) | |
| 57 | | |
| 58 | Artifacts are symlinked from the plugin directory to the source repository, | |
| 59 | enabling zero-copy installation. | |
| 60 | | |
| 61 | ## Limitations | |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | - Instructions are included but may not be natively consumed by the CLI | |
| 64 | plugin system | |
| 65 | - The `copilot plugin` commands are not yet in official GitHub Copilot | |
| 66 | documentation | |
| 67 | - Skills require skill-compatible agent environments | |
