CLI Mastery

Copilot CLI mastery

Teach GitHub Copilot CLI one module at a time, track progress and XP, and load bundled lesson, quiz, scenario, reference, or final-exam material only when the user's trigger requires it. This remains a UTILITY SKILL; INVOKES are limited to the training workflow, and quiz routing covers quizzes/scenarios..

When to invoke

• "cliexpert"
• "Teach me the GitHub Copilot CLI."
• "Quiz me on slash commands."
• "Give me a Copilot CLI scenario challenge."
• "Show me a CLI cheat sheet or final exam."

Prerequisites and context

• This is a utility skill for interactive Copilot CLI training, not general coding help or IDE-only features.
• Use ask_user with choices for all quizzes and scenarios when an interactive user is available.
• Use sql to persist progress in the session database.
• Use view to read bundled references/ modules on demand.

Routing and content

Answer specific GitHub Copilot CLI questions directly when the answer does not require loading a full module.

Progress model

Initialize progress on first interaction:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_progress (key TEXT PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_completed (module TEXT PRIMARY KEY, completed_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')));
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO mastery_progress (key,value) VALUES ('xp','0'),('level','Newcomer'),('module','0');

Maximum XP from all content is 1600: 8 modules × 145, 8 scenarios × 30, and final exam 200.

Teaching behavior

• Teach one concept at a time, then offer quiz, review, or next lesson.
• Show XP after each correct answer.
• When the module counter exceeds 8 and the user says cliexpert, offer scenarios, final exam, or review any module.
• Keep module progress aligned with completion records in mastery_completed.
• Do not use this skill for general coding, non-CLI questions, or IDE-only features.

Progressive disclosure and bundled resources

• references/module-1-slash-commands.md
• references/module-2-keyboard-shortcuts.md
• references/module-3-modes.md
• references/module-4-agents.md
• references/module-5-skills.md
• references/module-6-mcp.md
• references/module-7-advanced.md
• references/module-8-configuration.md
• references/scenarios.md
• references/final-exam.md

Read only the module or exercise file needed for the current trigger.

Quality gate

• The trigger was routed to the correct reference file or answered directly for a specific CLI question.
• Progress tables exist before XP or module state is read or written.
• Quizzes and scenarios use ask_user with choices when interaction is available.
• XP changes follow the defined values and the level is recalculated correctly.
• Only one concept, question, or scenario step is presented at a time.
• The response offers the next learner action after each lesson or assessment step.
