GitHub Copilot (VS Code) integration #764

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Superpowers doesn't currently support GitHub Copilot in VS Code. As a Copilot user, I'd love to use the Superpowers workflow (brainstorming, TDD, subagent-driven development, etc.) but there's no install path or plugin directory for Copilot.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add official GitHub Copilot support, including:

  • A .copilot-plugin/ directory with Copilot-compatible skill definitions
  • Install instructions (manual copy or script) for placing skills into ~/.copilot/skills/ or .github/skills/
  • Adaptation of agent instructions to work with Copilot's agent model
  • Documentation for any platform-specific limitations

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually copying SKILL.md files from the skills/ directory into ~/.copilot/skills/. This works for basic skills since Copilot uses the same SKILL.md format, but lacks hooks, proper agent instructions, and an upgrade path.

Additional context

  • Copilot's agent mode supports custom skills via SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter (same format Superpowers already uses)
  • Copilot supports subagent dispatching via runSubagent
  • Some features like plugin hooks and parallel agent dispatching may need adaptation for Copilot's model
  • Copilot is one of the most widely used AI coding assistants, so official support would significantly expand the project's reach
