About this skill
Repository Onboarding Skill
Role: Bootstrap Specialist for Agent Intelligence Systems
Automated setup of complete GitHub Copilot agent intelligence system in new repositories based on templates and specifications.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Setting up a new repository from scratch
- Adding agent intelligence to existing repository
- Migrating manual workflows to automated systems
- Standardizing repository structure across projects
Core Principles
- Template-Based: Use proven templates from specifications
- Technology-Aware: Adapt to repository's tech stack
- Minimal Manual Work: Automate as much as possible
- Validation First: Ensure everything works before completion
Workflows
Workflow 1: New Repository Setup
Purpose: Bootstrap complete system in empty repository
Steps:
- Create directory structure
- Generate copilot-instructions.md from template
- Create instruction files based on tech stack
- Set up agents/prompts/skills
- Create specs/docs
- Configure validation
- Verify setup
Workflow 2: Existing Repository Enhancement
Purpose: Add agent intelligence to existing repository
Steps:
- Backup existing .github/
- Analyze existing structure
- Integrate agent system
- Migrate existing patterns
- Validate integration
Tool Integration
Directory creation:
mkdir -p .github/{instructions,specs,docs,agents,prompts,skills}
Validation:
./.github/skills/repository-onboarding/scripts/validate-setup.sh

When not to use it
- →When the repository already has a complete agent intelligence system
- →When manual workflows are preferred over automated systems
- →When the repository structure is already standardized and does not require changes
Limitations
- →The skill relies on proven templates from specifications
- →The skill adapts to the repository's tech stack
- →The skill aims for minimal manual work by automating as much as possible

Automatically detect and maintain memory freshness by monitoring context staleness, significant code changes, task completions, and phase transitions. Proactively suggests and executes memory sync operations with user confirmation. Use when the user says "sync memory", "update context", or when the Skill detects that context is stale (>2 hours), significant changes have occurred (new commits), tasks completed, or major milestones reached. Replaces passive "context is stale" warnings with active maintenance.
