Usage

1. Check Available Tech Stacks

Open Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Shift+I or Cmd+Shift+I) and type:

@eitProjectGenerator show available stacks

This will display all supported project types (e.g., NextJS, .NET 8, etc.).

2. SEO JSON Format

Create a seo.json file with your metadata:

{
    "Client": "AbbVie",
    "Brand": "BOTOX",
    "Project": "BOTOX AS",
    "SiteDomain": "https://www.botox-abbvie.com",
    "Pages": [
        {
            "Name": "Home",
            "PageURL": "https://www.botox-abbvie.com/"
        }
    ]
}

3. Generate a Project

In Copilot Chat, type:

@eitProjectGenerator create <stack> app

Replace <stack> with your chosen tech stack (run show available stacks to see options).

Then attach your seo.json file using the 📎 paperclip icon.

4. Auto-Execution

After generation, the extension automatically:

1. Loads _ai_instructions.md or INSTRUCTIONS.md
2. Displays the instructions for confirmation
3. Begins executing all steps automatically - no manual copy/paste needed!

The agent will use the _sitemap_metadata.json file if present and execute all instructions without skipping any steps.
