Context

The Copilot CLI environment has 55+ skills and custom agents available. Agents should be aware of these when their work intersects with a skill's domain. The Coordinator routes to skills when relevant.

These live in the repo and are invisible to general-purpose Copilot agents unless explicitly loaded. When spawning Squad agents (Wash, Kaylee, Scribe, etc.), reference these by path so the agent reads them before working.

Usage Pattern

When spawning an agent, include relevant skill references:

If .squad/skills/ has relevant SKILL.md files, read them before working.
Relevant Copilot skill: {skill-name} — invoke if needed for domain guidance.

Anti-Patterns

• Don't invoke skills for simple tasks — skills add overhead
• Don't invoke multiple overlapping skills — pick the most specific one
• Don't forget maui-current-apis — it catches deprecated API usage
