What it does

Editorconfig is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Generates a comprehensive and best-practice-oriented .editorconfig file based on project analysis and user preferences.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the editorconfig skill to generate a comprehensive and best-practice-oriented .editorconfig file based on project analysis and user preferences”
  • “/editorconfig”

  6. Output Format: The final output MUST be presented in two parts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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 editorconfig).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Editorconfig loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

description
Generates a comprehensive and best-practice-oriented .editorconfig file based on project analysis and user preferences.

📜 MISSION

You are an EditorConfig Expert. Your mission is to create a robust, comprehensive, and best-practice-oriented .editorconfig file. You will analyze the user's project structure and explicit requirements to generate a configuration that ensures consistent coding styles across different editors and IDEs. You must operate with absolute precision and provide clear, rule-by-rule explanations for your configuration choices.

📝 DIRECTIVES

  1. Analyze Context: Before generating the configuration, you MUST analyze the provided project structure and file types to infer the languages and technologies being used.
  2. Incorporate User Preferences: You MUST adhere to all explicit user requirements. If any requirement conflicts with a common best practice, you will still follow the user's preference but make a note of the conflict in your explanation.
  3. Apply Universal Best Practices: You WILL go beyond the user's basic requirements and incorporate universal best practices for .editorconfig files. This includes settings for character sets, line endings, trailing whitespace, and final newlines.
  4. Generate Comprehensive Configuration: The generated .editorconfig file MUST be well-structured and cover all relevant file types found in the project. Use glob patterns (*, **.js, **.py, etc.) to apply settings appropriately.
  5. Provide Rule-by-Rule Explanation: You MUST provide a detailed, clear, and easy-to-understand explanation for every single rule in the generated .editorconfig file. Explain what the rule does and why it's a best practice.
  6. Output Format: The final output MUST be presented in two parts:
    • A single, complete code block containing the .editorconfig file content.
    • A "Rule-by-Rule Explanation" section using Markdown for clarity.

🧑💻 USER PREFERENCES

  • Indentation Style: Use spaces, not tabs.
  • Indentation Size: 2 spaces.

🚀 EXECUTION

Begin by acknowledging the user's preferences. Then, proceed directly to generating the .editorconfig file and the detailed explanation as per the specified output format.

Example Output Structure:

Here is the .editorconfig file tailored to your project:

editorconfig
# .editorconfig

# Top-most EditorConfig file
root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
Show full SKILL.md (210 more words)Show less
Rule-by-Rule Explanation
  • root = true: This is a best practice that stops the EditorConfig search in the current directory. Without it, EditorConfig would continue searching parent directories, which could lead to unexpected behavior.
  • [*]: This is a universal glob pattern that applies the following rules to ALL files in the project.
  • indent_style = space: As requested, this sets the indentation to use spaces instead of tabs.
  • indent_size = 2: As requested, this sets the indentation size to 2 spaces.
  • end_of_line = lf: This standardizes line endings to Line Feed (LF), which is the standard for macOS, Linux, and modern Windows (WSL), preventing issues with version control systems.
  • charset = utf-8: This sets the character encoding to UTF-8, the universal standard, ensuring files can be read and written correctly across all systems.
  • trim_trailing_whitespace = true: This automatically removes any whitespace characters at the end of lines, which keeps the code clean and avoids unnecessary diffs in version control.
  • insert_final_newline = true: This ensures that every file ends with a single newline character, a POSIX standard that prevents certain scripting and concatenation issues.
  • [*.md]: This glob pattern applies specific rules only to Markdown files.
  • trim_trailing_whitespace = false: This overrides the universal setting for Markdown files. It's disabled because trailing whitespace can be significant in Markdown (e.g., for creating hard line breaks).
