GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/lsp-setup/SKILL.md
Enable code intelligence (go-to-definition, find-references, hover, type info) for any programming language by installing and configuring an LSP server for Copilot CLI. Detects the OS, installs the right server, and generates the JSON configuration (user-level or repo-level). Use when you need deeper code understanding and no LSP server is configured, or when the user asks to set up, install, or configure an LSP server.

Also use for Figma macOS 27 design-to-code work and audits of interfaces that feel too boxed.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/make-repo-contribution/SKILL.md
All changes to code must follow the guidance documented in the repository. Before any issue is filed, branch is made, commits generated, or pull request (or PR) created, a search must be done to ensure the right steps are followed. Whenever asked to create an issue, commit messages, to push code, or create a PR, use this skill so everything is done correctly.

Use when asked to "convert markdown to html", "transform md to html", "render markdown", "generate html from markdown", or when working with .md files and/or web a templating system that converts markdown to HTML output. Supports CLI and Node.js workflows with GFM, CommonMark, and standard Markdown flavors.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/mcp-implementation-security-review/SKILL.md
Review the implementation source code of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, clients, and tool handlers against a security baseline — authentication, sessions, rate limiting, input-schema validation, official-SDK usage, RCE vectors, and the OWASP MCP Top 10 — producing a report with file/line evidence. Use this skill when: - Reviewing an MCP server implementation for security before release - Checking a server against the baseline controls (MCP-01 to MCP-05) and the OWASP MCP Top 10 - Auditing tools for RCE vectors (command/code injection, unsafe deserialization, path traversal, SSTI, dependency hijacking, SSRF) - Verifying auth, session, rate-limiting, and input-validation controls on a network-exposed server - Reviewing MCP client code that handles untrusted server responses and session IDs - Requests like "review this MCP server for security" or "is my MCP server implementation secure?"
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/mcp-release-qa/SKILL.md
Verify an MCP server before release by exercising a real protocol session, comparing runtime capabilities with source and documentation, testing failure paths, and recording reproducible evidence. Use when shipping or reviewing an MCP server, tool, resource, prompt, catalog, or install path.
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/mcp-security-audit/SKILL.md
Audit MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations for security issues. Use this skill when: - Reviewing .mcp.json files for security risks - Checking MCP server args for hardcoded secrets or shell injection patterns - Validating that MCP servers use pinned versions (not @latest) - Detecting unpinned dependencies in MCP server configurations - Auditing which MCP servers a project registers and whether they're on an approved list - Checking for environment variable usage vs. hardcoded credentials in MCP configs - Any request like "is my MCP config secure?", "audit my MCP servers", or "check .mcp.json" keywords: [mcp, security, audit, secrets, shell-injection, supply-chain, governance]

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/microsoft-docs/SKILL.md
Query official Microsoft documentation to find concepts, tutorials, and code examples across Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, and more. Uses Microsoft Learn MCP as the default, with Context7 and Aspire MCP for content that lives outside learn.microsoft.com.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
