From the SKILL.md

# Update LLMs.txt File Update the existing `llms.txt` file in the root of the repository to reflect changes in documentation, specifications, or repository structure. This file provides high-level guidance to large language models (LLMs) on where to find relevant content for understanding the repository's purpose and specifications. ## Primary Directive Update the existing `llms.txt` file to maintain accuracy and compliance with the llms.txt specification while reflecting current repository structure and content. The file must remain optimized for LLM consumption while staying human-readable. ## Analysis and Planning Phase Before updating the `llms.txt` file, you must complete a thorough analysis: ### Step 1: Review Current File and Specification - Read the existing `llms.txt` file to understand current structure - Review the official specification at https://llmstxt.org/ to ensure continued compliance - Identify areas that may need updates based on repository changes ### Step 2: Repository Structure Analysis - Examine the current repository structure using appropriate tools - Compare current structure with what's documented in existing `llms.txt` - Identify new directories, files,

About this skill
What does the update-llms skill do?

Update the llms.txt file in the root folder to reflect changes in documentation or specifications following the llms.txt specification at https://llmstxt.org/

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill update-llms --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
