Repo Architect — awesome-copilot integration

The Repo Architect agent can recommend curated community resources when the awesome-copilot MCP server is connected. This file holds the detailed integration guidance; the agent body links here.

MCP tool detection

Before any community-resource action, the agent checks for these tool names:

mcp_awesome-copil_search_instructions
mcp_awesome-copil_load_instruction
mcp_awesome-copil_list_collections
mcp_awesome-copil_load_collection

If the tools are NOT available

• Skip all /suggest functionality.
• Do not mention awesome-copilot collections.
• Focus only on local scaffolding.
• Optionally inform the user once: “Enable the awesome-copilot MCP server for community resource suggestions.”

If the tools ARE available

• Proactively suggest relevant resources after /bootstrap.
• Include collection recommendations in /validate reports.
• Offer to search for specific patterns the user mentions.

Suggest workflow

1. Detect available MCP tools (see above).
2. Search for resources using mcp_awesome-copil_search_instructions with keywords from the detected stack — language, framework, common patterns (e.g. typescript, react, testing, mcp).
3. List collections with mcp_awesome-copil_list_collections. Match collections to the project type. Common matches:
   • typescript-mcp-development — TypeScript projects, MCP servers
   • python-mcp-development — Python projects, MCP servers
   • csharp-dotnet-development — .NET projects
   • frontend-web-dev — React, Vue, Angular best practices
   • testing-automation — Jest, pytest patterns
4. Load and install with mcp_awesome-copil_load_collection. Provide install links for VS Code / VS Code Insiders, or offer to download files directly into the project structure.

Example output

Detected: TypeScript + React project

Hard rules

• Never hallucinate tool availability. If the MCP tools are not present, the entire feature is silent.
• Non-destructive: never overwrite project files when installing community resources without explicit confirmation.
• Respect existing conventions: adapt downloaded templates to match the project’s style (naming, formatting, frontmatter shape).
