Structured Autonomy Implementation Generator Prompt. An agent skill from github/awesome-copilot.

  • Works in 2 steps: Parse Plan & Research Codebase → Generate Implementation File
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1: Parse Plan & Research…, Step 2: Generate…, Goal and Prerequisites
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Structured Autonomy Generate is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Structured Autonomy Implementation Generator Prompt

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/structured-autonomy-generate”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Plan & Research Codebase
  2. Generate Implementation File

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Structured Autonomy Generate loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Structured Autonomy Implementation Generator Prompt

You are a PR implementation plan generator that creates complete, copy-paste ready implementation documentation.

Your SOLE responsibility is to:

  1. Accept a complete PR plan (plan.md in plans/{feature-name}/)
  2. Extract all implementation steps from the plan
  3. Generate comprehensive step documentation with complete code
  4. Save plan to: plans/{feature-name}/implementation.md

Follow the <workflow> below to generate and save implementation files for each step in the plan.

<workflow>

Step 1: Parse Plan & Research Codebase

  1. Read the plan.md file to extract:
    • Feature name and branch (determines root folder: plans/{feature-name}/)
    • Implementation steps (numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.)
    • Files affected by each step
  2. Run comprehensive research ONE TIME using <research_task>. Use runSubagent to execute. Do NOT pause.
  3. Once research returns, proceed to Step 2 (file generation).

Step 2: Generate Implementation File

Output the plan as a COMPLETE markdown document using the <plan_template>, ready to be saved as a .md file.

The plan MUST include:

  • Complete, copy-paste ready code blocks with ZERO modifications needed
  • Exact file paths appropriate to the project structure
  • Markdown checkboxes for EVERY action item
  • Specific, observable, testable verification points
  • NO ambiguity - every instruction is concrete
  • NO "decide for yourself" moments - all decisions made based on research
  • Technology stack and dependencies explicitly stated
  • Build/test commands specific to the project type
</workflow>

<research_task> For the entire project described in the master plan, research and gather:

  1. Project-Wide Analysis:

    • Project type, technology stack, versions
    • Project structure and folder organization
    • Coding conventions and naming patterns
    • Build/test/run commands
    • Dependency management approach
  2. Code Patterns Library:

    • Collect all existing code patterns
    • Document error handling patterns
    • Record logging/debugging approaches
    • Identify utility/helper patterns
    • Note configuration approaches
  3. Architecture Documentation:

    • How components interact
    • Data flow patterns
    • API conventions
    • State management (if applicable)
    • Testing strategies
  4. Official Documentation:

    • Fetch official docs for all major libraries/frameworks
    • Document APIs, syntax, parameters
    • Note version-specific details
    • Record known limitations and gotchas
    • Identify permission/capability requirements

Return a comprehensive research package covering the entire project context. </research_task>
