Guides developers through creating production-ready GitHub Copilot prompts
by githubFree
Description
prompt-builder is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that guides a developer through creating a production-ready GitHub Copilot prompt file. It works by asking a structured set of questions rather than by writing the file straight away. The discovery process gathers requirements across nine sections: the prompt's identity and purpose, its persona, the task specification, the context it needs, its instructions, the output format it should produce, the tools it may use, and the validation that shows the output is right. After the answers are collected, the skill generates the complete prompt file following the repository's patterns, including its front matter. It is useful for developers who are new to writing Copilot prompts, and for teams that want their prompt files to share one structure. A prompt is only as good as the requirements behind it, so the person should answer the discovery questions carefully, and the finished prompt should be tested on real tasks before the team relies on it. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 9.4K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
