Suggest Awesome GitHub Copilot Skills Analyze current repository context and suggest relevant Agent Skills from the [GitHub awesome copilot repository](https://github.com/github/awesome copilot/blob/main/docs/README.skills.md) that are not already available in this repository. Agent Skills are self contained folders located in the [skills](https://github.com/github/awesome copilot/tree/main/skills) folder of the awesome copilot repository, each containing a SKILL.md file with instructions and optional bundled assets.

Must use fetch tool. 2. Scan Local Skills : Discover existing skill folders in .github/skills/ folder 3. Extract Descriptions : Read front matter from local SKILL.md files to get name and description 4. Fetch Remote Versions : For each local skill, fetch the corresponding SKILL.md from awesome copilot repository using raw GitHub URLs (e.g., https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome copilot/main/skills/<skill name /SKILL.md ) 5. Compare Versions : Compare local skill content with remote versions to identify: Skills that are up to date (exact match) Skills that are outdated (content differs) Key differences in outdated skills (description, instructions, bundled assets) 6. Analyze Context : Review chat history, repository files, and current project needs 7. Compare Existing : Check against skills already available in this repository 8. Match Relevance : Compare available skills against identified patterns and requirements 9. Present Options : Display relevant skills with descriptions, rationale, and availability status including outdated skills 10. Validate : Ensure suggested skills would add value not already covered by existing skills 11. Output : Provide structured table with suggestions, descriptions, and links to both awesome copilot skills and similar local skills AWAIT user request to proceed with installation or updates of specific skills.

List all folders in .github/skills/ directory 2. For each folder, read SKILL.md front matter to extract name and description 3. List any bundled assets within each skill folder 4. Build comprehensive inventory of existing skills with their capabilities 5. Use this inventory to avoid suggesting duplicates Version Comparison Process 1. For each local skill folder, construct the raw GitHub URL to fetch the remote SKILL.md : Pattern: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome copilot/main/skills/<skill name /SKILL.md 2. Fetch the remote version using the fetch tool 3. Compare entire file content (including front matter and body) 4.
