    Sub-agents & multi-session

    Manage multiple agents simultaneously and delegate exploration tasks to sub-agents. A highly practical setup when working on complex codebases.

  • Module 08

    AGENT.md & custom agents

    Build your own Copilot agents with their own system prompt, tools and skills. Tailored customization.

    llm.txt

    The emerging standard to expose documentation to AI context. Learn how to find, ingest, and create your own llms.txt.

  • Module 09

    Copilot CLI

    The possibilities of Copilot CLI covered in detail: Sessions, agents, MCP, CI, and agentic workflows (gh aw).

  • Module 14

    Obsidian as second brain

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Any developer using VS Code who wants to integrate GitHub Copilot, Agent Mode, Skills, MCP, and modern AI methodologies into their daily workflow.

An active subscription is recommended but not required. The course covers setup from scratch all the way to advanced use cases.

The course is a premium, comprehensive online technical manual. It consists of written content, designed like a high-end reference documentation. Available in English and French with lifetime access.

Yes — the AI ecosystem moves fast. Updates are included in the one-time purchase. New chapters and resources are added automatically.

No. The course is entirely structured as a premium technical manual (text and code). This format allows for frictionless reading, quick search, and immediate updates in a fast-evolving AI ecosystem.

You should be comfortable with VS Code and have a basic understanding of development. The course covers GitHub Copilot from initial setup to advanced use cases (custom agents, MCP), but it assumes you already know how to code.

I've tested both in real-world conditions. While Claude Code is interesting, GitHub Copilot remains the most robust solution for software engineering. Where others lean towards "vibe coding", Copilot is built for developers who demand absolute control over their architecture. It offers unmatched end-to-end integration with VS Code and the GitHub ecosystem (Spark, Cloud). It's the choice for professional efficiency.
