Agent Skills Directory

Technology-agnostic blueprint generator for creating comprehensive copilot-instructions.md files that guide GitHub Copilot to produce code consistent with project standards, architecture patterns, and exact technology versions by analyzing existing codebase patterns and avoiding assumptions.

Copilot left 14 review comments on your PR — half are nits. Hours of fix → reply → resolve → re-request, and each round lands MORE comments. This skill runs loop engineering: auto-triggers Copilot Code Review via GraphQL (no @copilot mention), triages every open thread (Copilot, humans, advanced-security) with a fix / decline / escalate rubric, dispatches parallel fix sub-agents that obey the repo build/test/lint conventions, commits per iteration, replies+resolves citing the pushed SHA, then re-triggers until HEAD is reviewed with zero threads awaiting the agent's reply (remaining open threads are explicit hand-offs to the human — escalated declines, design tradeoffs). You merge a clean PR; the bot runs it. Trigger phrases: "address copilot comments", "run a copilot review loop", "fix this PR", "iterate on copilot feedback". Repo-agnostic, gh CLI + PowerShell. Full autopilot needs repo Triage/Write; external PR authors get single-iteration mode plus manual re-trigger (UI 🔄 or substantive-commit push).

Build agentic applications with GitHub Copilot SDK. Use when embedding AI agents in apps, creating custom tools, implementing streaming responses, managing sessions, connecting to MCP servers, or creating custom agents. Triggers on Copilot SDK, GitHub SDK, agentic app, embed Copilot, programmable agent, MCP server, custom agent.

Use Copilot Spaces to provide project-specific context to conversations. Use this skill when users mention a "Copilot space", want to load context from a shared knowledge base, discover available spaces, or ask questions grounded in curated project documentation, code, and instructions.

Discovers all projects in a .NET solution, classifies each for Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration eligibility, and produces a persistent master migration plan. Use when starting a multi-project Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration, creating a migration inventory, or assessing which .NET projects contain Oracle dependencies.

Creates structured bug reports for defects found during Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration. Use when documenting behavioral differences between Oracle and PostgreSQL as actionable bug reports with severity, root cause, and remediation steps.

Creates integration test cases targeting Oracle for .NET data access artifacts. Tests capture Oracle expected behavior as the authoritative baseline; they are written once and later ported to PostgreSQL by migrating the test project in Phase 6. Use only during Phase 3, before any PostgreSQL migration work has begun. Do not invoke during Phase 6 or against a project that has already been migrated.

Find and fix flake-prone anti-patterns in an existing Cypress suite, and APIs removed in Cypress 12 to 16. Bundles a zero-dependency scanner for fixed cy.wait() delays, assigned command return values, async/await, force: true, chaining after actions, one-shot expect() inside .then(), conditional testing, and removed APIs such as Cypress.env(), cy.exec(), cy.server()/cy.route(). Use when asked to fix flaky Cypress tests, remove cy.wait, stabilize or harden a Cypress suite, audit Cypress specs, debug "detached from the DOM" errors, or prepare an upgrade to Cypress 15 or 16.

Authors a Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management Solution Blueprint from scratch through a structured, section-by-section architect interview, establishing scope, target operating model, application and data architecture, integration landscape, migration strategy, security model, ALM, testing, deployment, and support approach, with a decision log capturing rationale and rejected alternatives. Use when the user wants to create D365 implementation architecture documentation, start a D365 implementation, design the architecture, prepare a Solution Blueprint, or identify the architectural decisions the programme must make. Do not use for critique of an existing design; that is a review task rather than blueprint authoring.

Spin up a personal, motivating daily focus board that renders in a browser canvas and that the user drives by talking to their AI partner. Tasks track status (to-do → in progress → done) with timestamped progress notes and roll up into a "today's momentum" feed; numeric-goal tasks (pages, pomodoros, reps) render as progress-bar counters. Executive-function / neurodivergent-friendly by design: Focus mode, kind "not today" carryover (no overdue-shaming), a brain-dump box, reduced-motion, and gentle deadline countdowns. Add, reorder, and relabel tasks live, assign Eisenhower priority (Do first / Schedule / Delegate / Later), open with an above/below-the-line check-in and a daily mantra, and save an end-of-day recap. Use when someone wants to plan their day, stay focused, kick off a work session, or track progress. Progress persists in the browser (localStorage).

Prepare for tomorrow's meetings and tasks. Pulls calendar from Outlook via WorkIQ, cross-references open tasks and workspace context, classifies meetings, detects conflicts and day-fit issues, finds learning and deep-work slots, and generates a structured HTML prep file with productivity recommendations.

Pre-breach impact analysis: inventories sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI-DSS, credentials), traces data flows, scores exposure vectors, and produces a regulatory blast radius report with fine ranges sourced verbatim from GDPR Art. 83, CCPA § 1798.155(a), and HIPAA 45 CFR § 160.404. Cost benchmarks from IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report (annually updated). All citations in references/SOURCES.md for verification. Use when asked: "assess breach impact", "what data could be exposed", "calculate blast radius", "data exposure analysis", "how bad would a breach be", "quantify data risk", "sensitive data inventory", "data flow security audit", "pre-breach assessment", "worst-case breach scenario", "breach readiness", "data risk report", "/data-breach-blast-radius". For any stack handling user data, health records, or financial information. Output labels law-sourced figures (exact) vs heuristic estimates (planning only). Does not replace legal counsel.

Comprehensive guide for configuring and managing GitHub Dependabot. Use this skill when users ask about creating or optimizing dependabot.yml files, managing Dependabot pull requests, configuring dependency update strategies, setting up grouped updates, monorepo patterns, multi-ecosystem groups, security update configuration, auto-triage rules, or any GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) supply chain security topic related to Dependabot. For pre-commit dependency vulnerability scanning in AI coding agents via the GitHub MCP Server, this skill references the Advanced Security plugin (`advanced-security@copilot-plugins`). Use this skill when an agent needs to scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities before committing.

Write, append, or read desk journal entries. The journal is persistent memory — what survives session boundaries. A good entry has: what was done, current state, next step.

Create and open a new desk in the workshop. Sets up the folder structure, initial journal, and desk identity so the next session that sits down finds the trail.

Generate comprehensive rollout plans with preflight checks, step-by-step deployment, verification signals, rollback procedures, and communication plans for infrastructure and application changes

Perform a systematic diagnostic scan of an AI workflow across 5 quality dimensions — prompt quality, context efficiency, tool health, architecture fitness, and safety — producing a scored report with prioritized remediation actions.

Two related workflows for a locally-cloned codebase, in one skill. Documentation mode produces a single, comprehensive, verifiable architecture document primarily by reading files on disk (local-first) — use it whenever the user wants to understand, map, document, research, or onboard onto a codebase ("research this repo", "write up the architecture", "do an architecture deep dive", "document how this codebase works", "map the system design", "create an onboarding doc"). Modernization mode generates a phased plan to modernize, migrate, upgrade, or rewrite a legacy system ("modernize this", "plan the migration", "how would we rewrite this", "how do we get off this legacy stack"); if no architecture document exists yet it first runs Documentation mode, then continues straight through to the plan. It assumes the legacy stack may be dead, runs a time-boxed feasibility spike, and picks the highest achievable rung on a safety ladder instead of demanding a fully-green legacy CI gate up front.
