An open-source library of Hypervelocity Engineering components that accelerates Azure solution development by enabling advanced conversational workflows.
Quick Install: Automated installation via the hve-core-installer agent in VS Code (~30 seconds)
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.
Recommended: Use the hve-core-installer agent for automated setup:
- Open GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code (Ctrl+Alt+I)
- Select
hve-core-installerfrom Agent list in GitHub Copilot Chat pane - Say: "Install HVE-Core into my project"
- 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
For manual setup or alternative installation methods, see the Getting Started Guide which covers:
- Peer Clone - Local VS Code, solo developers
- Git-Ignored Clone - Devcontainer ephemeral setup
- Mounted Directory - Advanced container sharing
- Multi-Root Workspace - Cross-environment portability
- Submodule - Team version control
- GitHub Codespaces - Cloud development
- GitHub Copilot subscription
- VS Code with GitHub Copilot extension
- Git installed and available in PATH
- Node.js and npm (for development and validation)
Transform complex tasks into working code using Research → Plan → Implement:
- Complete the Your First RPI Workflow tutorial (~15 min)
- For simple tasks, use prompts directly without the full workflow
