Used this for PR #592. Created the reference files, put them in a folder "references", then prompted with:
The
INSTRUCTIONS.mdfile basically said, usemake-skill-template/SKILL.mdto create new skilllegacy-circuit-mockups, and move this reference folder with the markdown files to the new skill folder. DeleteINSTRUCTIONS.mdwhen done. I had the folder open in explorer so it wasn't properly moved, but copilot moved all the markdown files. I just had tomkdir referencesinlegacy-circuit-mockups, then move the relevant markdown files to it.Type of Contribution
