Enables on-demand specialized guidance for Copilot agents working in this repository by creating reusable skills based on existing copilot instructions and repository conventions.

Skills Added

Five skills in .github/skills/, totaling ~1,800 lines of structured guidance:

  • add-device-binding - Device binding development patterns: API design (TryRead*, UnitsNet), IDisposable, constructor conventions, documentation requirements
  • debug-build-issues - Build troubleshooting: Azure DevOps feed errors, SDK resolution, timeout handling, alternative build strategies
  • fix-api-conventions - API compliance checking: naming patterns, value types, resource ownership, error handling, visibility rules
  • update-device-documentation - Documentation templates: README structure, XML comments, wiring diagrams, code examples
  • hardware-abstraction-check - Cross-platform validation: detecting P/Invoke, hardcoded paths, OS detection; enforcing System.Device.* usage

Each skill follows GitHub Copilot Agent Skills format with YAML frontmatter and structured markdown sections (Purpose, When to Use, Instructions, Examples, References).

Configuration

Disabled MD041 in .markdownlint.json to accommodate YAML frontmatter in skill files.
