Tuskway for GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot, reading the same plan as everyone else.

Teams rarely standardize on one agent. Tuskway lets GitHub Copilot CLI read and update the same feature spec as the rest of the team: context, tech design and ticket briefs that publish straight to GitHub Issues.

What changes

What GitHub Copilot gets from Tuskway.

  • Native to GitHub Issues

    Publish ticket briefs to GitHub Issues. Edits made on an issue are flagged in Tuskway, so you choose which version wins.

  • The same four commands

    Copilot gets the same workflow skills as every other tool: start an epic, write the design, draft tickets, tackle one.

  • People stay in charge

    Copilot acts with its owner's access. Without edit rights, it can only suggest changes, which an editor accepts or dismisses.

Setup

Connect GitHub Copilot in a minute.

Then run the workflow from GitHub Copilot, one command per step:

  2. /write-designDraft the tech design in sections your team reviews.
  3. /draft-ticketsSplit it into briefs with acceptance checks.
  4. /tackle-ticketBuild one ticket from its brief and design section.
