Build Timeline

🎓

Learning Paths Page

18:37

Researched YouTube in parallel batches for trusted Copilot CLI content, curated 20 videos across 5 progressive learning paths, and built a full page with video cards, thumbnails, and difficulty badges.

Original Prompt
"I want to add a page for a learning path with content from youtube. Research youtube for good content on the use of github copiloit cli and organize them on learning paths and put them in order on a new page. I recommend you research several batches in parrelel. Ensure channels are trusted channels either microsoft or github aligned..."
  • 20 curated videos from 5 trusted channels (GitHub, Microsoft Developer, VS Code, Burke Holland, Gerald Versluis)
  • 5 progressive paths: Getting Started → Core Workflows → Advanced → MCP & Extensions → Real-World
  • Updated navigation across 4 existing pages

Original Prompt
"I want to show a page that shows the velocity at which github copilot cli is releasing... Can you create a page showing all the different releases then maybe a graph showing the speed of releases compared to other agent harnesses..."
  • Hero stats: 90 releases, 1.8 days average between releases
  • Cumulative and monthly release charts via Chart.js
  • Side-by-side competitor comparison with sourced changelogs
  • Searchable/filterable release table with 90 entries and tags
  • 20+ milestone timeline entries

RFP Response Validation

18:06

Reviewed a full RFP response document, fact-checked technical claims against official documentation and current product capabilities, and produced a structured review report.

Original Prompt
"Fleet deployed: I need to review the following Proskauer-GitHub-Copilot-RFP-Response.md Go through the questions and answers and validate some of the answers and come up with a review document. Dont add more questions, only review for validity not completness."
  • Validated answers against official Microsoft/GitHub docs
  • Generated structured review with accuracy ratings
  • Cross-referenced product features with current release state

Hello World

19:10

The simplest possible task — created a hello world file in seconds. Showed that Copilot CLI handles the trivial just as naturally as the complex.

Original Prompt
"Create a new file with hello world"

Assembly ASCII Art Animation

19:11

Built a complete x86-64 NASM assembly program that renders "HECTOR" in animated block letters with a rainbow color sweep — using only raw Windows API syscalls, no C runtime. Created the repo on GitHub with CI.

Original Prompt
"I want to create a assemby app that shows somew asci art annimcation of my Name. "Hector". Make it buildable for my machine whatever that means. Search intenet on how to do this if you need to... When your done, create the repo in github under htekdev."
  • ~350 lines of x86-64 NASM assembly
  • Rainbow color animation using Windows console API
  • Build scripts for local compilation + GitHub Actions CI
  • ARM64 compatible via Windows 11 emulation

GitHub Actions Retry Bot

19:16

Created an Azure Function App that listens for GitHub webhook events on workflow completions and auto-retries failed runs up to 3 times. Includes webhook signature validation, retry tracking via Azure Table Storage, and full test coverage.

Original Prompt
"Lets create a function app that is able to trigger on github events for github action completions... What it should do rerun if it fails. Only rerun after 3 retries... Also create github page along side to explain how it works. When your done create the repo in github"
  • Azure Functions with TypeScript — webhook endpoint for GitHub events
  • Smart retry: validates signatures, tracks attempts in Table Storage, caps at 3
  • 38 tests across 4 files — 100% statement/function/line coverage, 87% branch
  • Repo created on GitHub with CI workflow

Requirements Synthesis

19:21

Took raw, unstructured requirements and synthesized them into a structured, reviewable format — demonstrating Copilot CLI's ability to work with non-code artifacts and business documents.

Original Prompt
"Fleet deployed: Review the requirments doc and lets try to define true requirments from different angles. So basicly create a review for top level business rquirments, then synthasize and review the intergrates between requirements, then finally create a final true spec of the requirments. Leave nothing out and if you require multiple specs that is also ok. For each spec ensure you list claifications that need to be addressed."

Expense Tracker (Full-Stack)

19:26

Built a complete full-stack expense tracking application from scratch — Express API backend with Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL database with seed data, and a Vite-powered React client. Features CRUD, filtering, budgets, recurring expenses, and CSV export.

Original Prompt
"Im currently in a demo on copilot cli. And we want to show case how cool you are. Create me a expense application that is able to track my expenses. Its your time to shine so make it awesome"
  • Express.js API with 6 route modules: expenses, categories, budgets, recurring, export, dashboard
  • Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL — schema, migrations, and seed data (150+ sample records)
  • Dashboard endpoint: monthly totals, MoM change, daily average, top category, budget alerts at ≥80%
  • React client with Vite, TypeScript, and full CRUD UI
