Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing ~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21 both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no FAIL condition behind it. Gates (blocking, no baseline file): - description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded YAML value - body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop - every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels - agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test pins that absence Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives. Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars (-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the agent-author misroute to manual review. Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read ' was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to be rewritten around it. Refs: ADR-0020

<!-- GitHub Copilot CLI agent definition (CLI format — path: .github/agents/<name>.agent.md)
|
|
File extension MUST be .agent.md — a plain .md file is not picked up by Copilot CLI.
|
|
Fill in all FILL IN: placeholders. Remove or uncomment optional fields as needed.
|
|
Body length limit: 30,000 characters — content beyond this is silently truncated.
|
|
Delete template comments before shipping.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This template is for the CLI format. The cloud/IDE format (path: .github/copilot/agents/<name>.md,
|
|
extension: .md) supports additional fields: target, user-invocable, disable-model-invocation, mcp-servers.
|
|
Do not add those fields here — they are silently ignored by the CLI runtime. -->
|
|
|
|
name: AGENT_NAME
|
|
<!-- Required. Kebab-case identifier. Home-directory version wins on name collision. -->
|
|
|
|
description: FILL IN: Use when <trigger>. <One capability clause.> Not <thing> -> <name>.
|
|
<!-- Required. Used by the runtime for automatic agent selection, and preloaded into
|
|
every session whether or not this agent is ever used. Three parts, nothing else:
|
|
a trigger clause opening "Use when", at most one capability clause, and a
|
|
boundary clause naming a real sibling skill or agent.
|
|
250 characters is the target, 400 the hard ceiling (ADR-0020).
|
|
Do not open with an action verb ("Reviews...", "Analyzes...") — that rule was deleted.
|
|
Keep it identical in wording to the Claude Code half of the pair.
|
|
Example: "Use when a diff needs checking for injected credentials before it
|
|
merges. Not general code review -> code-reviewer." -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- tools: ["read", "search", "edit"]
|
|
Optional. Array of tool names. Omit = all available tools. [] = no tools.
|
|
Copilot tool aliases (use these, not Claude Code names):
|
|
execute — run shell commands (aliases: shell, Bash, powershell)
|
|
read — read file contents (aliases: Read, NotebookRead)
|
|
edit — modify files (aliases: Edit, MultiEdit, Write, NotebookEdit)
|
|
search — search files (aliases: Grep, Glob)
|
|
agent — invoke sub-agents (aliases: custom-agent, Task)
|
|
web — web search and fetch (aliases: WebSearch, WebFetch)
|
|
For MCP tools: "server-name/tool-name" or "server-name/*" -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- model: claude-sonnet-4-5
|
|
Optional. Model to run this agent on.
|
|
Cloud/IDE-only fields (target, user-invocable, disable-model-invocation, mcp-servers)
|
|
are not valid in this CLI format — use the .github/copilot/agents/<name>.md path for those. -->

|
<!-- source_keys:
|
|
- slug-name
|
|
Development-only. Add when research sources informed this agent (slugs must match sources.md at the plugin root).

|
Omit when no research was used. Not a Copilot runtime field — silently ignored. -->

<!-- DO NOT include these Claude Code-only fields:
|
|
maxTurns, isolation, memory, permissionMode, effort, hooks, mcpServers -->

|
|
|
|
FILL IN: System prompt body. Should match the Claude Code version — the agent's task is the same across providers.
|
|
|
|
You are a FILL IN: role description. When invoked, FILL IN: primary action.
|
|
|
|
<!-- Delegate, don't restate. If an installed skill already owns a procedure this agent
|
|
needs, name it ("invoke `git-commits`") instead of transcribing it — a body that
|
|
restates a procedure an invocable skill owns is an agent-audit FAIL. One job per
|
|
agent. Delete this comment before shipping. -->

## Inputs
|
|
|
|
FILL IN: What inputs does this agent expect? (files, context, parameters)
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
FILL IN: Steps the agent takes. Be specific about ordering if it matters.
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
FILL IN: What does the agent produce? Format, location, structure.
