Welcome to the AHG 2026 agent kit

You are in the right place. This page opens by itself when you open the kit in VS Code. Nothing here needs code, and nothing here can break.

Start here

  1. Open Copilot Chat: Control+Alt+I on Windows, or Command+Control+I on a Mac.
  2. Type /ready-check and press Enter. Copilot checks five things and tells you that you are ready.

Every block of the day has its own command, listed below, and its own step card in the step-cards folder.

The day, one command per block

Each command is typed into Copilot Chat. The step card for each block has every key and every expected result in words.

Block Time Command What you get
1. Why we are here 10:30 /ready-check A ready laptop
2. Design your agent 10:50 /design-my-agent Your own agent, in my-agent/SKILL.md
3. Your agent at work 11:50 /try-my-agent Its first answer on a course document
4. Ground it 1:15 /ground-my-agent Cited answers from real evidence
5. Share it 2:20 letitglow.app/ahg/share Your agent in the collection, in your name
6. Build the office 3:00 /run-the-office Your agent in a team, across the whole course
7. Take it home 3:45 /my-30-day-plan A 30-day plan for your campus

What is in this folder

This list follows the folders in the Explorer, top to bottom.

Folder or file What it is
.github/ The commands above, the office coordinator, and the workshop's rules for Copilot. You do not need to open it
.vscode/ Settings for larger text and screen readers. You do not need to open it
examples/ Finished work for every step. Maria, Jordan and Sam's stories, and six ready-made agents in examples/agents/
my-agent/SKILL.md Your agent. Six headings: Role, Task, Trusted guidance, Output format, Human review, Never
office-team/ The accessibility office: eight specialists your agent joins this afternoon
sample-course/ PSY 101, the course everyone works on, with barriers planted on purpose, and evidence/ with each file's checker report
step-cards/ One card per block, as Markdown and as large print Word files
share-my-agent.html The offline copy of the share page
ahg-2026.code-profile The AHG 2026 VS Code profile, if you need to import it again

You cannot fall behind

Every step has a finished version in examples/. If anything goes wrong, start from one of the six ready-made agents in examples/agents/, put your name on it, and carry on. That is still your agent, and it still goes into the open-source project with your name on it.

Keys worth knowing

These work in every part of VS Code.

To Windows Mac
Open Copilot Chat Control+Alt+I Command+Control+I
Open any file by name Control+P Command+P
Find any command Control+Shift+P Command+Shift+P
Move between parts of the window F6 F6
Accessibility help for where you are Alt+F1 Option+F1

The two rules

  1. Never paste anything private into any AI: student records, health or disability information, or anyone's name. Use the sample course.
  2. Every agent ends with a person checking its work. Yours too.
