copilot-cli-quickstart

Use this skill when someone wants to learn GitHub Copilot CLI from scratch. Offers interactive step-by-step tutorials with separate Developer and Non-Developer tracks, plus on-demand Q&A. Just say "start tutorial" or ask a question! Note: This skill targets GitHub Copilot CLI specifically and uses CLI-specific tools (ask_user, sql, fetch_copilot_cli_documentation).

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
