MicrosoftSkillagent-customization
microsoft/vscode/extensions/copilot/assets/prompts/skills/agent-customization/SKILL.md
**WORKFLOW SKILL** — Create, update, review, fix, or debug VS Code agent customization files (.instructions.md, .prompt.md, .agent.md, SKILL.md, copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md). USE FOR: saving coding preferences; troubleshooting why instructions/skills/agents are ignored or not invoked; configuring applyTo patterns; defining tool restrictions; creating custom agent modes or specialized workflows; packaging domain knowledge; fixing YAML frontmatter syntax. DO NOT USE FOR: general coding questions (use default agent); runtime debugging or error diagnosis; MCP server configuration (use MCP docs directly); VS Code extension development. INVOKES: file system tools (read/write customization files), ask-questions tool (interview user for requirements), subagents for codebase exploration. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: For quick YAML frontmatter fixes or creating a single file from a known pattern, edit the file directly — no skill needed.

MicrosoftSkillproject-setup-info-context7
microsoft/vscode/extensions/copilot/assets/prompts/skills/project-setup-info-context7/SKILL.md
Comprehensive setup steps to help the user create complete project structures in a VS Code workspace. This tool is designed for full project initialization and scaffolding, not for creating individual files. When to use this tool: when the user wants to create a new complete project from scratch; when setting up entire project frameworks (TypeScript projects, React apps, Node.js servers, etc.); when initializing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with full structure; when creating VS Code extensions with proper scaffolding; when setting up Next.js, Vite, or other framework-based projects; when the user asks for \"new project\", \"create a workspace\", or \"set up a [framework] project\"; when you need to establish a complete development environment with dependencies, config files, and folder structure. When NOT to use this tool: when creating single files or small code snippets; when adding individual files to existing projects; when making modifications to existing codebases; when the user asks to \"create a file\" or \"add a component\"; for simple code examples or demonstrations; for debugging or fixing existing code. This tool provides complete project setup including folder structure creation, package.json and dependency management, configuration files (tsconfig, eslint, etc.), initial boilerplate code, development environment setup, and build and run instructions. Use other file creation tools for individual files within existing projects.

About skills
What is a Claude skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
