SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating a new Agent Skill for GitHub Copilot requires knowing the exact SKILL.md frontmatter format, naming rules, and directory conventions, and mistakes in any of these prevent the skill from being discovered or validated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Scaffolding: Generates a complete skill folder with a properly formatted SKILL.md containing valid YAML frontmatter (name, description, and optional fields). - Description Authoring Guidance: Enforces keyword-rich descriptions that explain what the skill does and when to trigger it, which drives automatic skill discovery. - Bundled Resource Structure: Documents when and how to add scripts/, references/, assets/, and templates/ directories alongside SKILL.md. - Use Case: When you want to add a specialized capability to your Copilot setup, ask the agent to create a new skill and it will produce a compliant folder structure, frontmatter, and instruction body ready for validation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new skill named for your task, for example by saying create a skill that scaffolds Playwright browser tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Agent Skill for GitHub Copilot?▼

Create a lowercase hyphenated folder containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining name and description, followed by markdown instructions. Optionally add scripts, references, or assets directories for bundled resources.

What frontmatter fields are required in a SKILL.md file?▼

Only name and description are required. The name must be 1-64 lowercase characters matching the folder name, and the description must be 1-1024 characters explaining what the skill does and when to use it.

Why is my Agent Skill not being discovered automatically?▼

Discovery relies primarily on the description field, so vague descriptions fail to match user prompts. Rewrite it to include specific capabilities, trigger scenarios, and keywords users would naturally mention.

When should I add scripts or references folders to a skill?▼

Add scripts/ for executable automation in Python, Bash, or JavaScript, and references/ for documentation the agent reads on demand such as API specs or examples. Keep assets under 5MB each and reference them with relative paths.

What are the naming rules for Agent Skill folders?▼

Folder names must be lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, with no consecutive hyphens, and must exactly match the name field in the SKILL.md frontmatter. Validation fails otherwise.
