An open-source library of Hypervelocity Engineering components that accelerates Azure solution development by enabling advanced conversational workflows.

Install HVE Core Install in VS Code Insiders

Quick Install: Automated installation via the hve-core-installer agent in VS Code (~30 seconds)

Overview

HVE Core provides a unified set of optimized GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot chat modes, along with curated instructions and prompt templates, to deliver intelligent, context-aware interactions for building solutions on Azure. Whether you're tackling greenfield projects or modernizing existing systems, HVE Core reduces time-to-value and simplifies complex engineering tasks.

Quick Start

Automated Installation

Recommended: Use the hve-core-installer agent for automated setup:

  1. Open GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code (Ctrl+Alt+I)
  2. Select hve-core-installer from Agent list in GitHub Copilot Chat pane
  3. Say: "Install HVE-Core into my project"
  4. Follow the guided installation

The installer will:

  • Clone the hve-core repository as a sibling to your workspace
  • Validate the repository structure
  • Update your VS Code settings.json with chat mode, prompt, and instruction paths
  • Make all HVE Core components immediately available

Manual Installation

For manual setup or alternative installation methods, see the Getting Started Guide which covers:

Prerequisites

  • GitHub Copilot subscription
  • VS Code with GitHub Copilot extension
  • Git installed and available in PATH
  • Node.js and npm (for development and validation)

Try the RPI Workflow

Transform complex tasks into working code using Research → Plan → Implement:

  1. Complete the Your First RPI Workflow tutorial (~15 min)
  2. For simple tasks, use prompts directly without the full workflow
