What is the standard folder structure for generating Copilot skills?▼

How do I ensure my generated skill is discoverable by Copilot?▼

To ensure your generated skill is discoverable by Copilot, validate that the folder naming matches the frontmatter name and maintain frontmatter consistency across the skill directory structure.
