Use this skill when: - Evaluating an agent system's security posture before production deployment - Running a compliance check against OWASP ASI 2026 standards - Mapping existing security controls to the 10 agentic risks - Generating a compliance report for security review or audit - Comparing agent framework security features against the standard - Any request like "is my agent OWASP compliant?", "check ASI compliance", or "agentic security audit"
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/agent-skill-stack/SKILL.md
Find, evaluate, and assemble the smallest compatible set of AI Agent Skills for an end-to-end natural-language goal. Use when a user wants Skills for a multi-step workflow, asks which Skills fit a project, needs an installed-Skill audit or conflict check, has low Skill recall, wants indirect helpers such as humanizers or compliance checks, or wants a project-specific Skill Stack with controlled installation. Search local Skills, registries, GitHub, and OpenCLI; compare adoption, verified fit, safety, and overlap. Do not use for locating one known or common Skill; use the generic find-skills workflow.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/agent-supply-chain/SKILL.md
Verify supply chain integrity for AI agent plugins, tools, and dependencies. Use this skill when: - Generating SHA-256 integrity manifests for agent plugins or tool packages - Verifying that installed plugins match their published manifests - Detecting tampered, modified, or untracked files in agent tool directories - Auditing dependency pinning and version policies for agent components - Building provenance chains for agent plugin promotion (dev → staging → production) - Any request like "verify plugin integrity", "generate manifest", "check supply chain", or "sign this plugin"
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/ai-prompt-engineering-safety-review/SKILL.md
Comprehensive AI prompt engineering safety review and improvement prompt. Analyzes prompts for safety, bias, security vulnerabilities, and effectiveness while providing detailed improvement recommendations with extensive frameworks, testing methodologies, and educational content.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
Make any repo AI-ready — analyzes your codebase and generates AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, CI workflows, issue templates, and more. Mines your PR review patterns and creates files customized to your stack. USE THIS SKILL when the user asks to "make this repo ai-ready", "set up AI config", or "prepare this repo for AI contributions".
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/ai-team-orchestration/SKILL.md
Bootstrap and run a lightweight multi-agent development team. Use when starting or adopting a project, planning work, coordinating implementation and optional QA, brainstorming with distinct perspectives, or preserving context across sessions.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/anti-ui-slop/SKILL.md
Stop coding agents from shipping generic UI. Use UIZZE''s 800,000+ real web and iOS screens to build product-specific interfaces, define a design contract, cover required states, and run a hard finish gate. Use when designing, implementing, redesigning, critiquing, or pre-ship reviewing a web or iOS interface in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or another coding agent. Trigger with "anti-ui-slop", "stop UI slop", "ground this UI in real screens", or "run the UI finish gate".
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/api-breaking-change-detector/SKILL.md
Cross-references C# Web API controllers/DTOs against their TypeScript/JavaScript consumers (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, or hand-written/auto-generated HTTP clients like Fetch, Axios, NSwag) to catch contract drift in both directions: backend changes that break client applications (renamed/removed JSON keys, new required parameters, status code shifts) and frontend code sending fields the backend no longer reads. Works directly against source code, not exported OpenAPI spec files. Use when the user asks to check for breaking API changes, verify frontend/backend contract sync, or audit a DTO/controller change against its TypeScript/JS consumers before merging. Not for generating new API code from a spec (see openapi-to-application-code) or scaffolding new endpoints (see aspnet-minimal-api-openapi).
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/appinsights-instrumentation/SKILL.md
Instrument a webapp to send useful telemetry data to Azure App Insights

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/architecture-blueprint-generator/SKILL.md
Comprehensive project architecture blueprint generator that analyzes codebases to create detailed architectural documentation. Automatically detects technology stacks and architectural patterns, generates visual diagrams, documents implementation patterns, and provides extensible blueprints for maintaining architectural consistency and guiding new development.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/arch-linux-triage/SKILL.md

Create ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints with proper OpenAPI documentation
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.
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
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.
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
