**WORKFLOW SKILL** — Create, update, review, fix, or debug Pointer agent customization files (.instructions.md, .prompt.md, .agent.md, SKILL.md, copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md). USE FOR: saving coding preferences; troubleshooting why instructions/skills/agents are ignored or not invoked; configuring applyTo patterns; defining tool restrictions; creating custom agent modes or specialized workflows; packaging domain knowledge; fixing YAML frontmatter syntax. DO NOT USE FOR: general coding questions (use default agent); runtime debugging or error diagnosis; MCP server configuration (use MCP docs directly); Pointer extension development. INVOKES: file system tools (read/write customization files), ask-questions tool (interview user for requirements), subagents for codebase exploration. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: For quick YAML frontmatter fixes or creating a single file from a known pattern, edit the file directly — no skill needed.

Comprehensive setup steps to help the user create complete project structures in a Pointer workspace. This tool is designed for full project initialization and scaffolding, not for creating individual files. When to use this tool: when the user wants to create a new complete project from scratch; when setting up entire project frameworks (TypeScript projects, React apps, Node.js servers, etc.); when initializing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with full structure; when creating Pointer extensions with proper scaffolding; when setting up Next.js, Vite, or other framework-based projects; when the user asks for "new project", "create a workspace", or "set up a [framework] project"; when you need to establish a complete development environment with dependencies, config files, and folder structure. When NOT to use this tool: when creating single files or small code snippets; when adding individual files to existing projects; when making modifications to existing codebases; when the user asks to "create a file

Investigate unexpected chat agent behavior by analyzing direct debug logs in JSONL files. Use when users ask why something happened, why a request was slow, why tools or subagents were used or skipped, or why instructions/skills/agents did not load.
OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the Copilot Chat extension — covers the four agent execution paths, the IOTelService abstraction, span/metric/event conventions, and the relationship between code and the user/developer monitoring docs. Use when adding/changing OTel spans, metrics, or events; instrumenting a new agent surface; touching the Copilot CLI bridge or Claude span emission; or updating `extensions/copilot/docs/monitoring/agent_monitoring*.md`.

publisher.extensionName. For example, the Python extension by Microsoft has the ID ms-python.python.workbench.extensions.installExtension and pass in the extension ID. The args are of the format:[extensionId, { enable: true, installPreReleaseVersion: boolean }]
NOTE: install the pre-release version of the extension if the user explicitly mentions it or if the current environment is Pointer Insiders. Otherwise, install the stable version.
copilot_runVscodeCommand tool. Make sure to pass the skipCheck argument as true to avoid checking if the command exists, as we know it does.
