Show HN: JDS – a Copilot skill suite for structuring AI coding behavior
A few months ago I stumbled on obra's superpowers repository https://github.com/obra/superpowers. I really liked the approach and idea that you enforce discipline for your agent through a skill-based workflow. Even though coding agents (copilot included) have become a lot better at natively handling complex tasks, they still wander off and lose track of things. I really liked how superpowers fixed this and how it enabled long-running sessions without the agent losing its "focus". So I decided to build a Copilot tailored skill suite around the core idea of superpowers. I didn't just want to port superpowers to Copilot, I took inspiration from it and improved on it. JDS enforces a strict think -> plan -> execute pipeline where nothing gets skipped. It leverages Copilot's built-in sql todo dependencies and provides a live task graph visualizer which helps visualize the agentic workflow and its parallelism. Curious whether others have tried similar approaches, and what's worked or not.
