Identifies Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration risks by cross-referencing code against known behavioral differences (empty strings, refcursors, type coercion, sorting, timestamps, concurrent transactions, etc.). Use when planning a database migration, reviewing migration artifacts, or validating that integration tests cover Oracle/PostgreSQL differences.

Containerize an ASP.NET .NET Framework project by creating Dockerfile and .dockerfile files customized for the project.
Containerize an ASP.NET Core project by creating Dockerfile and .dockerfile files customized for the project.
Create, update, refactor, explain, or review Semantic Kernel solutions using shared guidance plus language-specific references for .NET and Python.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to build scroll animations, scroll effects, parallax, scroll-triggered reveals, pinned sections, horizontal scroll, text animations, or any motion tied to scroll position — in vanilla JS, React, or Next.js. Covers GSAP ScrollTrigger (pinning, scrubbing, snapping, timelines, horizontal scroll, ScrollSmoother, matchMedia) and Framer Motion / Motion v12 (useScroll, useTransform, useSpring, whileInView, variants). Use this skill even if the user just says "animate on scroll", "fade in as I scroll", "make it scroll like Apple", "parallax effect", "sticky section", "scroll progress bar", or "entrance animation". Also triggers for Copilot prompt patterns for GSAP or Framer Motion code generation. Pairs with the premium-frontend-ui skill for creative philosophy and design-level polish.
Provides exact patterns for diagnosing and fixing automatic batching regressions in React 18 class components. Use this skill whenever a class component has multiple setState calls in an async method, inside setTimeout, inside a Promise .then() or .catch(), or in a native event handler. Use it before writing any flushSync call - the decision tree here prevents unnecessary flushSync overuse. Also use this skill when fixing test failures caused by intermediate state assertions that break after React 18 upgrade.
Provides the complete migration pattern for React legacy context API (contextTypes, childContextTypes, getChildContext) to the modern createContext API. Use this skill whenever migrating legacy context in class components - this is always a cross-file migration requiring the provider AND all consumers to be updated together. Use it before touching any contextTypes or childContextTypes code, because migrating only the provider without the consumers (or vice versa) will cause a runtime failure. Always read this skill before writing any context migration - the cross-file coordination steps here prevent the most common context migration bugs.
Install npm packages in a Docker sandbox environment. Use this skill whenever you need to install, reinstall, or update node_modules inside a container where the workspace is mounted via virtiofs. Native binaries (esbuild, lightningcss, rollup) crash on virtiofs, so packages must be installed on the local ext4 filesystem and symlinked back.
Create a formal specification for an existing GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow, optimized for AI consumption and workflow maintenance.
Comprehensive guide for configuring and managing GitHub Dependabot. Use this skill when users ask about creating or optimizing dependabot.yml files, managing Dependabot pull requests, configuring dependency update strategies, setting up grouped updates, monorepo patterns, multi-ecosystem groups, security update configuration, auto-triage rules, or any GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) supply chain security topic related to Dependabot.
Guide for configuring and managing GitHub secret scanning, push protection, custom patterns, and secret alert remediation. For pre-commit secret scanning in AI coding agents via the GitHub MCP Server, this skill references the Advanced Security plugin (`advanced-security@copilot-plugins`). Use this skill when enabling secret scanning, setting up push protection, defining custom patterns, triaging alerts, resolving blocked pushes, or when an agent needs to scan code for secrets before committing.
Comprehensive project architecture blueprint generator that analyzes codebases to create detailed architectural documentation. Automatically detects technology stacks and architectural patterns, generates visual diagrams, documents implementation patterns, and provides extensible blueprints for maintaining architectural consistency and guiding new development.
Interactive training for the GitHub Copilot CLI. Guided lessons, quizzes, scenario challenges, and a full reference covering slash commands, shortcuts, modes, agents, skills, MCP, and configuration. Say "cliexpert" to start.
Draft and review professional emails that match your personal writing style. Analyzes your sent emails for tone, greeting, structure, and sign-off patterns via WorkIQ, then generates context-aware drafts for any recipient. USE FOR: draft email, write email, compose email, reply email, follow-up email, analyze email tone, email style.
Explore any codebase from scratch and generate six quality artifacts: a quality constitution (QUALITY.md), spec-traced functional tests, a code review protocol with regression test generation, an integration testing protocol, a multi-model spec audit (Council of Three), and an AI bootstrap file (AGENTS.md). Includes state machine completeness analysis and missing safeguard detection. Works with any language (Python, Java, Scala, TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.). Use this skill whenever the user asks to set up a quality playbook, generate functional tests from specifications, create a quality constitution, build testing protocols, audit code against specs, or establish a repeatable quality system for a project. Also trigger when the user mentions 'quality playbook', 'spec audit', 'Council of Three', 'fitness-to-purpose', 'coverage theater', or wants to go beyond basic test generation to build a full quality system grounded in their actual codebase.
Use Copilot Spaces to provide project-specific context to conversations. Use this skill when users mention a "Copilot space", want to load context from a shared knowledge base, discover available spaces, or ask questions grounded in curated project documentation, code, and instructions.
