Picture a dusty street at high noon. Your new AI agent swaggers out of the saloon, promising to draw boilerplate quicker than Wyatt Earp can spin a six‑shooter. Two minutes later it claims seven times eight is fifty‑four and insists that Array.prototype.last() shipped in 2015. The tumbleweed pauses, the piano stops, and someone mutters, "This town isn't big enough for hallucinations and the truth."

Projects sprawl quicker than a runaway cattle stampede, and release trains keep missing the station. Huckleberry harnesses Copilot Chat into a diligent foreman, slicing specs into bite-sized tickets so your team can scale from small posse to full tech rodeo without dropping the reins.

The rise of AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot and VS Code's agent mode has changed the way we build software. Tasks that once needed hours of careful work can now be stitched together in minutes. This shift has given rise to what some call "vibe coding", rapidly assembling apps by mixing AI-generated code with design templates.

It is fast. It is impressive. But it is not without its problems.

When two AI gunfighters walk into town, do you duck behind the bar or order a round of drinks? Claude Task Master and Huckleberry offer two distinct approaches to AI-powered task management - one riding the command line like a seasoned rancher, the other embedding itself in the VS Code saloon where developers spend their days. Each has its own style, but both aim to wrangle your project tasks into submission.

Think of Copilot as your trusty deputy. Keep it penned in the saloon and it will polish the bar; kick the doors wide and it can roam the frontier rounding up fresh documentation faster than Doc Holliday draws a derringer. I'm your huckleberry still rings true: let Copilot handle the quick‑draw research while you concentrate on upholding the code of the land.

The day has finally arrived. After weeks of coding, testing, debugging, and more than a few coffee-fueled epiphanies, Huckleberry is ready for its public alpha debut. It's not perfect, no alpha release ever is, but it's real, it works, and we think you're going to find it surprisingly useful for something so young.

Punching out rough ideas feels grand until your backlog looks like a saloon bar top after last orders.
Huckleberry rides in, swaps your whisky-stained scribbles for a proper trail map and helps you ship before the dust settles. Here is how to stay in the saddle, keep your herd together and leave the stray notes for the tumbleweed.

If you've ever used GitHub Copilot in agent mode, you'll know it can do a lot, but only if it knows what you're actually trying to do.

That's where Huckleberry comes in.
