GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/upstash-redis/SKILL.md
Use Redis over HTTP from serverless and edge runtimes with @upstash/redis, and add rate limiting with @upstash/ratelimit. Use when the user mentions Upstash Redis, needs Redis from a Next.js route handler or middleware, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, or Bun without TCP connection pooling, or wants cache-aside with TTLs, a session store, counters, or a 429 rate limiter using fixed window, sliding window, or token bucket. DO NOT use for self-hosted or TCP Redis clients (ioredis, node-redis), Redis Cluster administration, or vector similarity search.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/vardoger-analyze/SKILL.md
Use when the user asks to personalize the GitHub Copilot CLI assistant, adapt Copilot to their style, use vardoger, or analyze their Copilot CLI conversation history. Reads the local session directory at `~/.copilot/session-state/`, extracts recurring preferences and conventions, and writes a fenced personalization block into `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md`. Runs entirely on the user's machine via the local `vardoger` CLI (`pipx install vardoger`); no network calls and no uploads. Triggers: 'personalize my copilot', 'analyze my copilot history', 'tailor copilot to me', 'run vardoger', 'update my copilot instructions from history', 'make copilot learn my style'.

GitHubSkillgithub/awesome-copilot/skills/verify-agent-action/SKILL.md
Review a proposed AI-agent action or human-approval packet before execution. Use when an agent wants to run a consequential tool, command, deployment, message, purchase, credential operation, or data mutation; when checking whether approval still matches the exact action; or when auditing action evidence for forged results, parameter swaps, replay, correlated reviewers, missing evidence, expiry, or stale monitoring. Produce an evidence-based review only—never execute or authorize the action.

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.
