| 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 | |

| 40 | | github | GitHub issue management | |
| 41 | | ado | Azure DevOps integration | |

| 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) |

| 63 | - Instructions are included but may not be natively consumed by the CLI |
| 64 | plugin system |

| 66 | documentation |
| 67 | - Skills require skill-compatible agent environments |
