Make Skill Template
A meta-skill that generates the boilerplate for new GitHub Copilot skills. Creates proper SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter, validates field constraints like the 1-64 character name requirement, and scaffolds optional directories for scripts, references, and assets. The description field guidance is especially helpful since that's how Copilot discovers skills automatically. Saves you from memorizing the Agent Skills specification every time you want to build a new capability. Includes a validation checklist and handles the tedious folder structure setup so you can focus on writing the actual skill logic instead of formatting requirements.
