GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/system-commandline-cli/SKILL.md
Use this skill when adding, modifying, or reviewing CLI commands in a .NET project built with System.CommandLine. Triggers include: creating a new CLI command, adding options or arguments, wiring command handlers, registering subcommands, building command groups, or any architecture decision about CLI command structure. Also use when the user mentions 'System.CommandLine', 'CommandBase', 'SetAction', 'ParseResult', 'RootCommand', 'subcommand', or asks to add a verb to the CLI. Do NOT use for general C# coding, web APIs, UI work, or non-CLI projects.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/technical-job-search/SKILL.md
Use this skill when a software engineer asks for help with job search tasks: parsing or analyzing a job description, tailoring a CV/resume, writing a cover letter, evaluating a job offer, or drafting a post-interview follow-up email. Do not activate for general career advice unrelated to an active job search action.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/terraform-azurerm-set-diff-analyzer/SKILL.md
Analyze Terraform plan JSON output for AzureRM Provider to distinguish between false-positive diffs (order-only changes in Set-type attributes) and actual resource changes. Use when reviewing terraform plan output for Azure resources like Application Gateway, Load Balancer, Firewall, Front Door, NSG, and other resources with Set-type attributes that cause spurious diffs due to internal ordering changes.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/test-gap-audit/SKILL.md
Run a read-only audit for missing, weak, stale, or mis-scoped test coverage. If the user does not name a scope, audit the full repository and identify important code paths, routes, features, services, workflows, and contracts that lack proper tests. If the user names a feature, PR, branch, route, workflow, service, bug fix, API, security-sensitive path, or risky code change, focus only on that specific scope. Use when the user asks what tests are missing, whether coverage is enough, what regression tests to add, or how to prove a change is safe. This is not a general bug audit and not a security review; it evaluates whether behavior is covered by tests.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/threat-model-analyst/SKILL.md
Full STRIDE-A threat model analysis and incremental update skill for repositories and systems. Supports two modes: (1) Single analysis — full STRIDE-A threat model of a repository, producing architecture overviews, DFD diagrams, STRIDE-A analysis, prioritized findings, and executive assessments. (2) Incremental analysis — takes a previous threat model report as baseline, compares the codebase at the latest (or a given commit), and produces an updated report with change tracking (new, resolved, still-present threats), STRIDE heatmap, findings diff, and an embedded HTML comparison. Only activate when the user explicitly requests a threat model analysis, incremental update, or invokes /threat-model-analyst directly.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/tugboat/SKILL.md
Anxiety-aware, evidence-driven collaboration for stalled or high-stakes work when a user says uncertainty, repeated setbacks, or lack of visible progress is causing significant anxiety or distress. Use immediately when explicitly invoked; when this fit is only inferred from the user''s own account, ask permission before applying it. Preserve the user''s ideal and turn grounded perspective-taking into persistent, bounded problem solving. Do not use to diagnose, provide therapy, manufacture certainty, or lower goals for reassurance.

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.
