What it does
Create Skill is an agent skill from bitovi/ai-enablement-prompts. Create new Agent Skills for this project. Use when asked to create a skill, document a workflow, or teach Copilot a new capability. Skills are stored in .github/skills/ and can include instructions, scripts, examples, and resources.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Prompts Bitovi uses for software development. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to create a skill
- Document a workflow
- Teach Copilot a new capability
Example prompts
- “/create-skill”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Overview: What the skill accomplishes
- When to Use: Clear triggers for activation
- Step-by-Step Instructions: Detailed procedures
- Examples: Input/output examples with code
- Common Mistakes: What to avoid
- Resource References: Links to included files
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df229b1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comcode.visualstudio.comagentskills.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Create Skill loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from bitovi/ai-enablement-prompts at commit df229b1, republished under its MIT licence (© bitovi). 514 words, ~1,703 tokens.

- description
- Create new Agent Skills for this project. Use when asked to create a skill, document a workflow, or teach Copilot a new capability. Skills are stored in .github/skills/ and can include instructions, scripts, examples, and resources.
Skill: Creating Agent Skills
This skill teaches how to create Agent Skills for this project following the VS Code Agent Skills standard.
What Are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that AI agents (Copilot, Claude, etc.) can load when relevant to perform specialized tasks. They are:
- Portable: Work across VS Code, Copilot CLI, and GitHub Copilot coding agent
- On-demand: Only loaded when relevant to the current task
- Composable: Multiple skills can work together
- Resource-rich: Can include scripts, examples, templates, and documentation
When to Create a Skill
Create a skill when you need to:
- Document a repeatable workflow or process
- Teach domain-specific knowledge that applies to multiple tasks
- Provide scripts, templates, or examples for common operations
- Define specialized capabilities that go beyond coding standards
Don't create a skill when you just need:
- Coding standards or style guidelines → Use custom instructions instead
- One-time documentation → Use regular markdown files
- File-specific rules → Use glob-based instructions
Skill Directory Structure
.github/skills/
└── your-skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Required: Skill definition
├── script.sh # Optional: Helper scripts
├── template.ts # Optional: Code templates
└── examples/ # Optional: Example files
└── example-1.mdSKILL.md Format
Every skill must have a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:
---
name: skill-name
description: Clear description of what the skill does and when to use it
---
# Skill Title
Detailed instructions, guidelines, and examples...Frontmatter Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | Yes | Unique identifier, lowercase with hyphens (max 64 chars) |
description | Yes | What it does and when to use it (max 1024 chars) |
Writing Effective Descriptions
The description determines when Copilot loads your skill. Be specific about:
- What the skill accomplishes
- When it should be used (triggers)
- What kind of tasks it helps with
Good description:
description: Create and configure tRPC routers with proper type inference, input validation using Zod schemas, and error handling. Use when adding new API endpoints, creating CRUD operations, or setting up tRPC procedures.Bad description:
description: Helps with tRPC stuff.Body Content Guidelines
The body should include:
- Overview: What the skill accomplishes
- When to Use: Clear triggers for activation
- Step-by-Step Instructions: Detailed procedures
- Examples: Input/output examples with code
- Common Mistakes: What to avoid
- Resource References: Links to included files
Referencing Resources
Reference files in the skill directory using relative paths:
Use the [test template](./test-template.ts) as a starting point.
See [examples](./examples/) for common patterns.
Run the [setup script](./setup.sh) to initialize the environment.Show full SKILL.md (224 more words)Show less
Skill Loading Process
Skills use progressive disclosure for efficiency:
- Discovery: Agent reads
nameanddescriptionfrom frontmatter - Loading: When relevant, agent loads the full
SKILL.mdbody - Resources: Additional files load only when explicitly referenced
This means you can have many skills without bloating context.
Example Skills
Simple Instruction Skill
---
name: component-testing
description: Test React components using Vitest and Testing Library. Use when writing component tests, setting up test utilities, or debugging test failures.
---
# Component Testing
## Testing Stack
- Vitest for test runner
- @testing-library/react for component rendering
- @testing-library/user-event for interactions
- MSW for API mocking
## Test File Location
Place tests next to components: `ComponentName.test.tsx`
## Basic Test Structure
\`\`\`typescript
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import { ComponentName } from './ComponentName';
describe('ComponentName', () => {
it('renders correctly', () => {
render(<ComponentName />);
expect(screen.getByText('Expected Text')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});

# Database Migration
## Before Making Changes
1. Check current migration status: `npm run db:status`
2. Create a backup if needed
## Creating a Migration
Use the [migration template](./migration-template.sql) for complex changes.
## Validation
Run [validate-migration.sh](./validate-migration.sh) to check for:
- Breaking changes
- Data loss risks

Current skills are located in .github/skills/:
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
cross-package-types | Type flow between shared, server, and client packages |
create-skill | This skill - how to create new skills |
Best Practices
Do
- Write clear, specific descriptions that trigger on relevant prompts
- Include concrete examples with code
- Reference external files for large templates or scripts
- Document common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Keep instructions actionable and step-by-step
Don't
- Make descriptions too vague or too broad
- Duplicate content already in custom instructions
- Include huge code blocks (use external files instead)
- Forget to document when NOT to use the skill
- Create skills for one-off tasks
Adding a New Skill to This Project
- Create directory:
.github/skills/your-skill-name/ - Create
SKILL.mdwith frontmatter and instructions - Add any supporting files (scripts, templates, examples)
- Test by asking Copilot a question the skill should handle
- Verify the skill was loaded (check if instructions were followed)
