GitHubSkilldiagnose
github/awesome-copilot/skills/diagnose/SKILL.md
Perform a systematic diagnostic scan of an AI workflow across 5 quality dimensions — prompt quality, context efficiency, tool health, architecture fitness, and safety — producing a scored report with prioritized remediation actions.
GitHubSkilldoc-and-modernize
github/awesome-copilot/skills/doc-and-modernize/SKILL.md
Two related workflows for a locally-cloned codebase, in one skill. Documentation mode produces a single, comprehensive, verifiable architecture document primarily by reading files on disk (local-first) — use it whenever the user wants to understand, map, document, research, or onboard onto a codebase ("research this repo", "write up the architecture", "do an architecture deep dive", "document how this codebase works", "map the system design", "create an onboarding doc"). Modernization mode generates a phased plan to modernize, migrate, upgrade, or rewrite a legacy system ("modernize this", "plan the migration", "how would we rewrite this", "how do we get off this legacy stack"); if no architecture document exists yet it first runs Documentation mode, then continues straight through to the plan. It assumes the legacy stack may be dead, runs a time-boxed feasibility spike, and picks the highest achievable rung on a safety ladder instead of demanding a fully-green legacy CI gate up front.
GitHubSkilldocumentation-writer

GitHubSkilldotnet-mcp-builder
github/awesome-copilot/skills/dotnet-mcp-builder/SKILL.md
Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in C#/.NET against the current ModelContextProtocol 2.x NuGet packages. Helps with cases the model gets wrong without guidance — stale versions (0.x preview or 1.x-era defaults), the v2 stateless-by-default HTTP flip, the 2026-07-28 spec deprecations (roots/sampling/logging), MCP Apps and Tasks extension packages, elicitation URL mode, per-session HTTP wiring, OAuth and reverse-proxy deploy specifics, and debugging MapMcp / STDIO / Streamable-HTTP errors. Also covers STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports (SSE is deprecated), tools, prompts, resources, completions, and a basic .NET MCP client. Trigger when the user says or implies any .NET MCP server work: ModelContextProtocol, McpServerTool, MapMcp, WithStdioServerTransport, "MCP server in C#", "MCP tool in dotnet", "expose this as MCP", or names a primitive (prompt/resource/elicitation/MCP App) in a .NET context. Skip for MCP work in other languages.

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.
