Digital Innovation Agents

Appearance

Installation ​

Digital Innovation Agents works on multiple AI coding platforms. Pick the one you use and follow the steps below. All installations give you the same set of thirteen skills. Only the registration mechanism differs.

Step 0: install the Claude Code CLI ​

The /plugin command lives in the Claude Code CLI, not in the VS Code or JetBrains extensions. Install the CLI first. Check whether it is already there:

bash
claude --version

If command not found, install one of the three ways:

bash
# Variant 1: official installer (macOS, Linux, WSL)
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Variant 2: Homebrew (macOS)
brew install --cask claude-code

# Variant 3: npm (any platform with Node.js)
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Reopen your shell or run source ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc), then verify with claude --version.

Step 1: install the plugin ​

Start the CLI and run the marketplace commands:

claude
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git
/plugin install digital-innovation-agents@pssah4-skills

Type / in any new session. The skills appear in autocomplete. The dia-bootstrap skill loads automatically at session start to give you an orientation of the workflow.

VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor extensions ​

The Claude Code IDE extensions do not support /plugin. Running /plugin marketplace add ... inside the VS Code extension returns /plugin isn't available in this environment. The fix: install once through the CLI (as shown above), and the IDE extension picks the skills up from the same global directory ~/.claude/skills/ on the next session.

Windows without WSL ​

The Claude Code CLI is experimental on native Windows. Install through WSL, or copy the skills manually:

bash
git clone https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r digital-innovation-agents/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Manual fallback (no CLI, any OS) ​

If the CLI installer fails, copy the skills directly. You give up /plugin update but get the same thirteen skills:

bash
git clone https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git /tmp/dia
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/dia/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Cursor ​

In Cursor Agent chat:

/add-plugin digital-innovation-agents

Or search for digital-innovation-agents in the Cursor plugin marketplace.

GitHub Copilot (CLI and VS Code) ​

GitHub Copilot has no plugin marketplace command. Install by copying the .github/ directory from the repository into your project root:

bash
git clone https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git /tmp/dia
cp -r /tmp/dia/.github/agents .github/agents
cp -r /tmp/dia/.github/chatmodes .github/chatmodes
cp -r /tmp/dia/.github/instructions .github/instructions
cp -r /tmp/dia/.github/templates .github/templates
cp /tmp/dia/.github/copilot-instructions.md .github/copilot-instructions.md

Copilot Chat picks the agents up automatically on the next session. Usage in Copilot Chat:

@business-analyst I want to build a tool that helps teams run better retrospectives
@requirements-engineer Create epics and features from this BA
@architect Design the architecture based on the requirements handoff
@developer Implement the first feature
@debugger Tests are failing, analyze the error log

The Copilot agents run the same Exploration / Ideation / Validation cycle, the same templates, and the same quality gates as the Claude Code skills.

Codex ​

Tell Codex:

Fetch and follow instructions from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents/main/.codex/INSTALL.md

Codex uses a symlink-based discovery mechanism. Detailed steps are in .codex/INSTALL.md.

OpenCode ​

Tell OpenCode:

Fetch and follow instructions from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md

OpenCode uses a JS plugin registered via opencode.json. Detailed steps are in .opencode/INSTALL.md.

Gemini CLI ​

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents

To update:

bash
gemini extensions update digital-innovation-agents

Frozen historical versions ​

If you need a specific older release for reproducibility (v1.0.0 or v2.4.0), clone the tag directly. v1 and v2 are no longer maintained; for active development upgrade to v3 through /dia-migration.

bash
git clone --branch v1.0.0 https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git   # Classic
git clone --branch v2.4.0 https://github.com/pssah4/digital-innovation-agents.git   # Pre-drift-resistance

These checkouts are read-only references; they do not auto-install into your platform. Use the platform-specific install paths above for v3 (marketplace, gemini extensions, manual cp -r for Codex / Copilot).

Verify the installation ​

Start a new session on your platform and try one of these:

/dia-setup                 Activate the workflow in this project
/dia-guide                 Guide for the full cycle
/business-analysis         Problem exploration, ideation, validation
/reverse-engineering       Brownfield entry for an existing codebase
/dia-migration             Upgrade an older DIA project to v3 conventions

Or ask a natural-language question like "help me analyze this business problem" or "let's plan this feature". The agent should invoke the relevant skill.

Activate the workflow in your project ​

/dia-setup is the first call in any new project. It asks for the mode (off, git-only, or github-sync), creates .dia/config.toml, and writes a managed anchor block into your agent files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .windsurfrules).

/dia-setup

Pick git-only if you work solo or your team does not use GitHub Issues / Projects. Pick github-sync for the full team layer (per-item GitHub issues, Project Status field mirroring, post-RE promote-to-epic). Pick off if you have the plugin installed globally but want this particular project to stay neutral.

Re-run /dia-setup any time to change the mode or remove the anchor blocks.

See Three modes for what each mode does and dia-setup guide for the full flow.
