GitHub Copilot Hackathon

Learning goals

Use the right built-in mode: Know when to reach for Ask (sparring partner), Plan (review before execution), or Agent (direct execution), and why the distinction matters
Blueprint before building: Use AI to produce BLUEPRINT.md and developer_todo.md before writing a single line of implementation code
Author specialist agents: Create focused agents with clearly defined responsibilities, minimal tool sets, and explicit domain boundaries
Replace guesswork with skills: Build reusable skills that give agents deterministic capabilities — consistent backlog item structure, correct test execution, reliable project state
Implement end-to-end with TDD: Drive one backlog item from data layer through to a tested UI component using the strict test-first loop
