brainclaw + GitHub Copilot
Structured project memory that makes Copilot smarter.
brainclaw writes a living copilot-instructions.md that evolves with your project — not a static template, but a continuously updated snapshot of constraints, traps, and coordination state. The bundled brainclaw skill under .github/skills/ lets Copilot pull fresh context on demand during chat and workspace interactions.
Install via GitHub Copilot
Paste this prompt directly into GitHub Copilot and let it handle the setup.
@workspace Please run "npm install -g brainclaw && brainclaw init" to set up brainclaw. It creates shared project memory, writes .github/copilot-instructions.md, and adds the brainclaw skill under .github/skills/.
Auto-setup
Run one command. brainclaw detects GitHub Copilot and writes its native files automatically, including .github/copilot-instructions.md.
npm install -g brainclaw && brainclaw init Detection: GITHUB_COPILOT_* env vars.
