GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/poka-yoke/SKILL.md
Mistake-proof code so misuse cannot be expressed, rather than warning against it. Use when designing an interface, schema, or state machine and the user wants it hard to get wrong ("make invalid states unrepresentable", "so callers cannot screw it up", "type-safe API", "pit of success"); when auditing existing code for footguns ("what could bite us here", "what is easy to misuse", "poka-yoke this repo", "review this diff for ways to get it wrong"); or when a bug has recurred and the fix must close the class rather than the case ("make sure this never happens again", "this is the third time"). Especially for money, auth, permissions, deletion, migrations, and pipelines where failure is silent. Classifies every finding by what happens when the mistake occurs and how the device notices, which is what keeps it from collapsing into generic code review.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/ponder/SKILL.md
Convergent deliberation loop - repeated grading passes over one subject until the answer stops changing, with coverage enforced so no unit is silently skipped. Use when the user says "ponder <anything>" ("ponder the UI", "ponder our error handling"), "think this over properly", "keep thinking until it converges", "keep looping until it converges", "loop on this until it stops changing", "go through all the screens and grade them", "audit/rate/grade every X", or asks for any broad sweep-and-grade across many units where a single pass would miss things. Also use to resume or recover a ponder already in flight - "where were we", "carry on pondering", a lost thread mid-loop, or a .ponder/ directory in the project - where the move is to run ponder status rather than start over.

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.
