Add SKILL.md skills and MCP server bundling to plugins#4
Merged
Conversation
- Add 10 skill definitions across 5 plugins using the official SKILL.md format (frontmatter with name/description + invocation instructions): - coalesce-accelerator: generate-migration, scaffold-entity, add-data-source - enterprise-bug-fixing: start-bug-fix, write-bug-tests - csharp-best-practices: review-async, check-naming - vuetify-components: scaffold-component, add-form - testing-essentials: write-unit-tests - Declare the skills path field in each updated plugin.json so the Copilot CLI can discover and invoke skills via /skills invoke - Add enterprise-bug-fixing/.mcp.json bundling the four MCP servers that BugFixerAgent.agent.md depends on (Azure DevOps, context7, nuget, playwright). Declare mcpServers and agents path fields in the enterprise-bug-fixing plugin.json. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- Created 7 new SKILL.md files for instruction content without a matching skill: apply-csharp-patterns, apply-solid, apply-testing-patterns, use-composition-api, add-accessibility, run-code-generation, setup-coalesce-project - Enriched 6 existing SKILL.md files with full instruction content: check-naming, review-async, write-unit-tests, scaffold-component, start-bug-fix, scaffold-entity - Removed all 13 instruction .md files and 6 instructions/ directories - Removed non-standard 'contents' key from all 6 plugin.json files (the official plugin spec has no 'instructions' field) - Added 'skills' path to solid-principles/plugin.json Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Implements the two highest-value GitHub Copilot CLI plugin features that were not being leveraged.
1. Real Skills (
SKILL.md) — 10 skills across 5 pluginsThe
skills/directories existed as placeholders. This adds properSKILL.mdfiles with official frontmatter (name,description) and detailed invocation instructions, making each skill discoverable via/skills invokeand context-matched by Copilot.coalesce-acceleratorgenerate-migration,scaffold-entity,add-data-sourceenterprise-bug-fixingstart-bug-fix,write-bug-testscsharp-best-practicesreview-async,check-namingvuetify-componentsscaffold-component,add-formtesting-essentialswrite-unit-testsEach
plugin.jsonnow declares the"skills": "skills/"path field so the CLI explicitly knows where to find them.2. MCP Server Bundling —
enterprise-bug-fixingBugFixerAgent.agent.mdreferences four external MCP servers (ado_with_filtered_domains,context7,nuget,playwright) but previously required users to configure these manually. A bundled.mcp.jsonnow declares all four servers, and theplugin.jsondeclares"mcpServers": ".mcp.json"and"agents": "agents/"so the plugin is self-describing.Features Not Yet Addressed
Lower-priority gaps identified during analysis (not in scope for this PR):
plugin.jsonfiles still use non-standardcontents.instructionsalongside new standard fieldsenterprise-bug-fixinghas an agenthooks.jsonlifecycle eventstags,author, etc.
