AgentRC — AI Repository Setup

Prime your repositories for AI-assisted development, right from VS Code.

Getting Started

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for AgentRC — or click the AgentRC icon in the Activity Bar to start from the sidebar.

First time? Run AgentRC: Get Started (or open the walkthrough from the Welcome tab) for a guided 5-step setup.

Features

Analyze Repository

Detect languages, frameworks, package managers, and monorepo structure. Results populate the Analysis tree view in the sidebar.

AgentRC: Analyze Repository

Readiness Report

Score your repo across 9 pillars grouped into Repo Health and AI Setup, with maturity levels from Functional (1) to Autonomous (5).

  • Interactive HTML report with dark/light theme
  • Drill-down into criteria in the Readiness tree view
  • Pass/fail icons with evidence for each criterion

AgentRC: Readiness Report

Generate Instructions

Create AI instruction files using the Copilot SDK. Choose your format:

  • copilot-instructions.md — GitHub Copilot's native format
  • AGENTS.md — Broader agent format at repo root

For monorepos, pick specific areas to generate per-area instruction files with applyTo scoping.

AgentRC: Generate Instructions

In multi-root workspaces, generate instructions for all workspace roots at once.

AgentRC: Generate Instructions (All Roots)

Generate Configs

Set up MCP servers (.vscode/mcp.json) and VS Code settings (.vscode/settings.json) tuned to your project.

AgentRC: Generate Configs

Evaluate Instructions

Measure how much your instructions improve AI responses by comparing with/without using a judge model. Results display in an interactive viewer inside VS Code.

AgentRC: Run Eval · AgentRC: Scaffold Eval Config

Initialize Repository

One command to analyze, generate instructions, and create configs:

AgentRC: Initialize Repository

Create Pull Request

Commit AgentRC-generated files and open a PR directly from VS Code. Supports both GitHub and Azure DevOps repositories — the platform is detected automatically from your git remote.

AgentRC: Create Pull Request

Sidebar Views

The AgentRC Activity Bar icon opens two tree views:

View Contents
Analysis Languages, frameworks, monorepo areas — with action buttons for instructions and configs
Readiness Maturity level, pillar groups (Repo Health / AI Setup), criteria pass/fail with evidence tooltips

Both views show welcome screens with action buttons when no data is loaded yet.
