SKILL.md
Use the routing map in AGENTS.md for ordinary work; this
skill is only for loading problems, not a mandatory startup step.
- Copilot supports
.github/skillsand applies.github/instructionsaccording
toapplyTo. Its thin overlay adds no separate policy. - For another harness, verify its current discovery rules. Point its supported
skill directory/configuration at the existing sources using personal settings.
ReadingSKILL.mddirectly is always a fallback. Read applicable path-scoped
instruction files explicitly when not auto-loaded. - Keep one authoritative copy of each rule. Do not install both a plugin and
editable copies of the same skill, or globally inject the full skill directory.
Validate with one matching task and one unrelated task: the required guidance
should be discoverable for the first and stay unloaded for the second. Record the
observed harness/version and result in LoTaR, not in the shared startup policy.
