Getting started

Four pages, in order. Each ends with something running on your machine.

  1. Install — the extension, and the one prerequisite that is not obvious.
  2. Your first tasks.yml — a library of commands, from nothing to a four-task dependency graph. About five minutes.
  3. Your first local workflow — one pipeline instead: stages, a human gate, and an AI task that drafts but cannot act. About five minutes.
  4. Your first spec — requirements, design, plan, implementation, with a decision between each. Needs a Copilot sign-in.

These are tutorials: one path, no choices, nothing optional. Once something works, Features covers the rest.

Local Workflows is a VS Code extension. Everything it does is declared in a YAML file you own.
