Generated Prompt
"Scan this codebase and generate an exemplars.md file that identifies high-quality, representative code examples. The exemplars should demonstrate our coding standards and patterns to help maintain consistency. Use the following approach:
1. Codebase Analysis Phase
- ${PROJECTTYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "Automatically detect primary programming languages and frameworks by scanning file extensions and configuration files" : Focus on ${PROJECTTYPE} code files}
- Identify files with high-quality implementation, good documentation, and clear structure
- Look for commonly used patterns, architecture components, and well-structured implementations

- Only reference actual files that exist in the codebase - no hypothetical examples
2. Exemplar Identification Criteria
- Well-structured, readable code with clear naming conventions
- Comprehensive comments and documentation
- Proper error handling and validation
- Adherence to design patterns and architectural principles

- File path (relative to repository root)
- Brief description of what makes it exemplary
- Pattern or component type it represents
${SCAN_DEPTH == "Comprehensive" ? ### 6. Additional Documentation
- Consistency Patterns: Note consistent patterns observed across the codebase

- Implementation Conventions: Identify naming and structural conventions
- Anti-patterns to Avoid: Note any areas where the codebase deviates from best practices : ""}
${SCAN_DEPTH == "Comprehensive" ? "7" : "6"}. Output Format
Create exemplars.md with:
- Introduction explaining the purpose of the document
- Table of contents with links to categories
- Organized sections based on ${CATEGORIZATION}
- Up to ${MAXEXAMPLESPER_CATEGORY} exemplars per category
- Conclusion with recommendations for maintaining code quality
The document should be actionable for developers needing guidance on implementing new features consistent with existing patterns.
Important: Only include actual files from the codebase. Verify all file paths exist. Do not include placeholder or hypothetical examples. "
Expected Output
Upon running this prompt, GitHub Copilot will scan your codebase and generate an exemplars.md file containing real references to high-quality code examples in your repository, organized according to your selected parameters.
More skills from github/awesome-copilot
- Aacquire-codebase-knowledgeUse this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
- Aacreadiness-assessRun the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
- Aacreadiness-generate-instructionsGenerate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
- Aacreadiness-policyHelp the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
- Aad-campaign-analyzerUse this skill when the user shares ad campaign performance data and asks what to cut, scale, or test. Trigger for prompts like "analyze my ad campaigns", "where am I wasting ad spend", "reallocate my ad budget", "which ads are actually working", or "ROAS analysis". Do not trigger for campaign planning or creative generation without performance data.
- Aadd-educational-commentsAdd educational comments to the file specified, or prompt asking for file to comment if one is not provided.
- Aadobe-illustrator-scriptingWrite, debug, and optimize Adobe Illustrator automation scripts using ExtendScript (JavaScript/JSX). Use when creating or modifying scripts that manipulate documents, layers, paths, text frames, colors, symbols, artboards, or any Illustrator DOM objects. Covers the complete JavaScript object model, coordinate system, measurement units, export workflows, and scripting best practices.
- Aagent-architectureDesign AI agent architectures through requirements discovery, or audit and diagnose architectural flaws in existing agents. Architecture only; excludes implementation and general code review.
- Aagent-governancePatterns and techniques for adding governance, safety, and trust controls to AI agent systems. Use this skill when: - Building AI agents that call external tools (APIs, databases, file systems) - Implementing policy-based access controls for agent tool usage - Adding semantic intent classification to detect dangerous prompts - Creating trust scoring systems for multi-agent workflows - Building audit trails for agent actions and decisions - Enforcing rate limits, content filters, or tool restrictions on agents - Working with any agent framework (PydanticAI, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, AutoGen)
- Aagent-owasp-complianceCheck any AI agent codebase against the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative (ASI) Top 10 risks. Use this skill when: - Evaluating an agent system's security posture before production deployment - Running a compliance check against OWASP ASI 2026 standards - Mapping existing security controls to the 10 agentic risks - Generating a compliance report for security review or audit - Comparing agent framework security features against the standard - Any request like "is my agent OWASP compliant?", "check ASI compliance", or "agentic security audit"
- Aagent-skill-stackFind, evaluate, and assemble the smallest compatible set of AI Agent Skills for an end-to-end natural-language goal. Use when a user wants Skills for a multi-step workflow, asks which Skills fit a project, needs an installed-Skill audit or conflict check, has low Skill recall, wants indirect helpers such as humanizers or compliance checks, or wants a project-specific Skill Stack with controlled installation. Search local Skills, registries, GitHub, and OpenCLI; compare adoption, verified fit, safety, and overlap. Do not use for locating one known or common Skill; use the generic find-skills workflow.
- Aagent-supply-chainVerify supply chain integrity for AI agent plugins, tools, and dependencies. Use this skill when: - Generating SHA-256 integrity manifests for agent plugins or tool packages - Verifying that installed plugins match their published manifests - Detecting tampered, modified, or untracked files in agent tool directories - Auditing dependency pinning and version policies for agent components - Building provenance chains for agent plugin promotion (dev → staging → production) - Any request like "verify plugin integrity", "generate manifest", "check supply chain", or "sign this plugin"
