Skill Creation Guide

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating new Agent Skills in the awesome-copilot repository. Use this when you need to create a self-contained, reusable skill with instructions and optional bundled assets.

When to Create a Skill

Create a skill when you need:

• Reusable workflows that combine instructions with bundled resources (scripts, templates, data files)
• Complex, multi-step processes that benefit from structured guidance
• Domain-specific toolkits with reference materials and code samples
• Specialized capabilities that extend beyond simple prompts or instructions

Don't create a skill if:

• A simple prompt file (.prompt.md) would suffice for a one-off task
• An instruction file (.instructions.md) is more appropriate for coding standards
• The task doesn't require bundled assets or complex guidance
