It provides ready-to-use agents, prompts, and chat modes designed to bring structure, standards, and intelligence to your coding sessions.
🧠 Key Components
👉 Awesome Agents
Specialized Copilot agents integrating with MCP servers to provide enhanced workflows for areas like DevOps, Security, Cloud, Performance, and CI/CD.
💬 Awesome Prompts
Task-specific prompts for generating code, documentation, or solving targeted problems (e.g., /awesome-copilot create-readme).

Context-aware coding standards and best practices applied automatically to files or entire projects.
🧑💻 Awesome Chat Modes
AI personas and conversation modes tailored to roles like Software Architect, DBA, or Security Engineer.
🗂️ Awesome Collections
Curated bundles of prompts, instructions, and chat modes organized around specific themes and workflows.
🧩 Integration & Usage
Works with Copilot Coding Agent (CCA), VS Code, and Visual Studio
Supports installation via an MCP Server (Docker-based) for seamless prompt and agent management
Fully open for contributions — you can extend or build your own prompts, agents, or chat modes
✅ Advantages
- ✔ Boosts productivity with pre-built, domain-specific Copilot extensions
- ✔ Enforces consistent coding standards and best practices
- ✔ Enables team-wide customization and shared workflows
- ✔ Backed by active community contributions and GitHub’s ecosystem
