Gofer [PREVIEW]

EAI Gofer brings the business specification-driven workflow into VS Code. It keeps repository work visible from /eai through validation, mirrors the repo-owned .specify/ scaffold, and packages the resources needed by the EAI Gofer pipeline.

What It Does

• helps everyone, not just coders, write good code, that delivers a business outcome
• Work with AI to generate what you need whether it is business case, executive summary, technical diagram of otherwise for you and your stakeholders to know what will be built, not find out it is wrong later
• initializes the repo-owned EAI Gofer scaffold
• surfaces specs, memory, and progress inside VS Code
• helps launch and monitor supported AI CLI workflows
• keeps the VS Code surface aligned with the portable Claude/Codex/Copilot/Gemini bundle

Quick Start

1. Open the Command Palette and run Gofer: Initialize Repository.
2. Optional: run Gofer: Install Optional Developer Tools.
3. Start every feature or follow-up request with /eai in slash-command CLIs, #eai in Copilot Chat, or $eai in hosts that use dollar-prefixed skills.
4. Gofer manages the internal pipeline for you: start -> research -> specify -> plan -> tasks -> implement -> validate. You do not need to run numbered stage commands.
