SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Skill Unit simplifies the process of creating, modifying, and debugging custom Copilot agents, offering a structured approach to agent orchestration, handoffs, sub-agent invocation, and prompt configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent Creation & Configuration: Facilitates the creation of .agent.md files and sets up frontmatter, following a standardized pattern for roles, responsibilities, and constraints.
  • Agent Orchestration: Allows for defining handoffs between agents for smooth workflow transitions, supporting multi-step pipelines.
  • Prompt Design: Offers guidance on prompt structure with dynamic variables for tailored agent responses.
  • Use Case: For instance, you can create a new agent that automates a series of code review steps, setting up the necessary handoffs for seamless workflow progression.

Quick Start

Generate an agent for code review by following the steps outlined in the Skill Unit, then add it to the .github/copilot-catalog.yml.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create custom Copilot agents for multi-step workflows?

To create custom Copilot agents, you generate structured .agent.md files with standardized frontmatter defining roles, constraints, and prompt configurations, then register them in the copilot-catalog.yml for orchestration.

What is agent orchestration in the TTA.dev framework?

Agent orchestration in the TTA.dev framework involves defining structured handoffs between custom Copilot agents to manage multi-step pipelines and sub-agent invocations for seamless workflow transitions.

How do I configure handoffs between Copilot agents?

You configure handoffs between Copilot agents by defining the transition steps within the .agent.md files, establishing a structured pattern that allows multi-step pipelines to progress smoothly across different roles.

Do I need prior knowledge of the TTA.dev composition model to build agents?

Yes, building agents requires existing knowledge of the TTA.dev composition model and tools, as the framework relies on structured templates and guidelines for configuring prompt design and sub-agent invocation.

Can I use dynamic variables in Copilot agent prompt design?

Yes, you can use dynamic variables in Copilot agent prompt design to tailor responses, applying the structured prompt guidelines provided within the .agent.md configuration files.

What's the best way to automate a series of code review steps with Copilot agents?

The best way to automate code review steps is creating a custom Copilot agent with structured .agent.md files, defining roles and handoffs to orchestrate the multi-step review pipeline automatically.
