# Template Skill

Two to three sentences stating what this skill does AND what it deliberately does NOT do. The "does not" half is as important as the "does" half — it prevents over-triggering on adjacent tasks.

## When to Use

Specific triggers, keywords, and contexts that should activate the skill. Be slightly pushy — agents undertrigger more often than they overtrigger.

- Trigger condition 1 (concrete situation, not abstract)
- Trigger condition 2
- Trigger condition 3 (include negative triggers if helpful: "but NOT when…")

## Prerequisites

What must be true before the skill can run.

- Tool / MCP server availability
- Required env vars or config keys
- Repo state (e.g. clean working tree, on a feature branch)

If a prerequisite is missing, the skill must fail loudly — never degrade silently.

## How to Run

One-screen overview of the canonical happy path. If the skill ships a script, show the command:

```bash
scripts/example.sh --flag value
```

## Quick Reference

| Action | Command / Tool | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Common op 1 | `view path` | Use the Copilot `view` tool, not shell `cat`. |
| Common op 2 | `grep pattern` | Use the Copilot `grep` tool, not shell `grep`/`rg`. |
| Common op 3 | `scripts/example.sh` | Ships with the skill. |

The agent should be able to act from this table alone for routine cases.

## Procedure

Step-by-step detailed workflow. This is where the depth lives.

### Step 1: Assess

What the agent checks before acting.

### Step 2: Act

The actual work. Reference real Copilot tools in backticks (`view`, `edit`, `grep`, `glob`, `powershell`, `web_fetch`, `task`). Do NOT instruct the agent to call bare shell utilities (`cat`, `sed`, `find`) that have a Copilot wrapper.

### Step 3: Confirm

Intermediate verification before moving on.

## Pitfalls

Imperative "DO NOT" register of failure modes this skill prevents.

- **DO NOT** [common mistake 1] — [why it bites].
- **DO NOT** [common mistake 2] — [why it bites].
- **DO NOT** [common mistake 3] — [why it bites].

## Verification

How the agent (or a reviewer) proves the skill worked.

- [ ] Test or check 1 (with concrete command)
- [ ] Test or check 2
- [ ] `scripts/verify.sh` passes
