GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/shopify-review-triage/SKILL.md
Use this skill when someone wants public Shopify App Store reviews, low-star reviews, or merchant feedback triaged, prioritized, clustered, or turned into a product or support brief. Trigger for prompts like "triage these app store reviews", "what should we fix first from this feedback", "cluster our 1-star reviews", or "write a weekly low-star review brief", for a single Shopify app or a portfolio plus watched competitors. Produces a P0-P3 brief covering incident risk, repeated friction, pricing confusion, feature requests, and an explicit needs-human-read bucket, where every item keeps its public source link and stays labeled first pass or human-checked. Do not trigger for support tickets, order data, or any other private merchant data, and never use it to reply to or contact a reviewer.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/sql-object-impact-analysis/SKILL.md
Before modifying a table, column, stored procedure, view, or trigger in a legacy codebase, trace every place that references it — across other SQL objects (procs, views, triggers) AND application code (C#, Angular/TypeScript, JS, or any language in the repo) — and produce a structured blast-radius report so you know what breaks before you change it. Use when the user asks 'what uses this column/table/procedure', 'is it safe to change X', 'what depends on this', 'impact of renaming/dropping X', or before any schema/proc modification in an unfamiliar or legacy codebase. Not for privacy/PII exposure analysis (see data-breach-blast-radius) or query performance tuning (see sql-optimization).

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.
