Prompt Template Generator (Template Engineer)
Overview
This skill generates Prompt Template files that are pure text templates optimized for:
- Repeatability: Same task, different inputs
- Efficiency: Manual trigger, snapshot of current editor
- Simplicity: No scripts, no thinking processes, just templates
Key distinction:
- Prompts (this skill) = Quick reusable snippets with variables
- Skills = Complex workflows with scripts/references
- Agents = Persistent roles with tool constraints
- Instructions = Always-on rules

retrospective-artifacts
Builds and parses structured retrospective artifact folders for troubleshooting, incident review, and delivery retros. Use this skill when capturing session context, synthesizing external context (GitHub, Jira, Mattermost, logs), querying prior retrospectives, or preparing downstream inputs for OKB entries, postmortems, and agent/skills/instruction improvements.
8generate-agent
Generates Custom Agent files (.github/agents/*.agent.md) with persona-based configurations, specialized tool sets, and role-specific cognitive architectures. Use when the user requests a specialized role or perspective (Security Auditor, Documentation Writer, Release Engineer, etc.). Creates agents with defined identity, constrained tools, and thinking processes aligned to their role. Not for general capabilities—use generate-agent-skills for those.
3generate-repo-instructions
Generates the global repository constitution file (.github/copilot-instructions.md). Works for code repositories, documentation repositories, data repositories, and mixed repos. Performs LLM-driven deep repository analysis including docs, code patterns, build systems, documentation generators, and data schemas. Generates constitutional rules following context economics (under 1000 lines). Enforces positive constraints and no hardcoded secrets.
3documentation-build
Validates documentation builds successfully. Use when checking Sphinx/RTD build integrity or diagnosing build failures. Reports errors, warnings, and build configuration issues.
2documentation-review
Performs comprehensive documentation review including build validation, Diataxis analysis, structure audit, accuracy verification, and style compliance. Use when reviewing documentation changes or auditing documentation quality.
2documentation-structure
Validates documentation structural integrity including heading hierarchy, metadata, file naming, navigation, and cross-references. Use when checking documentation organization or validating toctree structure.
