USE FOR: first-time setup; "what can this MCP do?"; "show me the available APIs"; "onboard me"; "how do I use the context-matic server"; "give me a tour". DO NOT USE FOR: actually integrating an API end-to-end (use integrate-context-matic instead).
GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/oo-component-documentation/SKILL.md
Create or update standardized object-oriented component documentation using a shared template plus mode-specific guidance for new and existing docs.
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.
