To create a Copilot skill, run the init_skill.py script to generate a complete SKILL.md skeleton along with starter templates for scripts, references, and assets directories. You then edit the SKILL.md file to configure metadata and customize the generated files to fit your domain-specific use case.

The standard structure for packaging Copilot skills requires a SKILL.md file alongside organized scripts, references, and assets directories. You use the package_skill.py utility to compile these modular components into a distributable .skill file, ensuring project consistency and standard validation.

You can validate an existing Copilot skill structure by running the quick_validate.py script. This utility checks your SKILL.md and associated resource directories to ensure they meet the standard template requirements before you package or distribute the capability.

Yes, you can use this workflow to update existing Copilot capabilities by modifying the SKILL.md frontmatter and body. The provided scripts and templates support scaffolding new skills and updating current ones across project repositories while maintaining structural consistency.

No external dependencies are required to scaffold Copilot skills. The process relies entirely on included Python scripts like init_skill.py and package_skill.py, which generate the SKILL.md skeleton and starter resources without needing additional framework installations.
