To scaffold a new GitHub Copilot prompt sample, provide the required title, prompt text, description, target product, app host prefix, and author details. This generates a correctly structured directory under samples/prompts with a README.md and assets/sample.json.

The required metadata for creating a prompt sample includes the prompt title, prompt text, description, target product, app host prefix, author name, author GitHub username, and prerequisites. This information ensures consistency and easy gallery integration.

To ensure your prompt sample README is formatted correctly for the gallery, use this scaffolding tool to enforce folder naming conventions and standardize required fields. It produces a ready-to-use skeleton that contributors can easily customize.

You can use the generated skeleton for related tools, but the scaffolding specifically enforces a standardized structure for GitHub Copilot prompts. It creates a ready-to-use directory designed to ensure discoverability within the copilot-prompts repository.

Creating a prompt sample manually slows down repository contributions because it involves manual setup and inconsistent folders, README content, and missing metadata. Scaffolding eliminates this by validating required inputs and enforcing a standardized structure.

When scaffolding a prompt sample, the tool generates a properly formatted README.md and an assets/sample.json file inside a new directory under samples/prompts. These files capture the validated metadata required for consistency and discoverability.
