suggest-awesome-github-copilot-prompts skill references non-existent prompts/ directory #921
Description
Problem
The suggest-awesome-github-copilot-prompts skill (in both skills/ and plugins/awesome-copilot/skills/) references a prompts/ directory and docs/README.prompts.md that do not exist in this repository.
Specifically, the skill instructs agents to:
- Fetch prompt listings from
https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/docs/README.prompts.md→ 404 - Download prompt files from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/awesome-copilot/main/prompts/<filename>→ 404
A search of the full repository tree confirms there is no prompts/ directory at the root, and docs/README.prompts.md does not exist. The only .prompt.md file in the repo is skills/polyglot-test-agent/unit-test-generation.prompt.md, which is bundled inside a skill rather than a standalone prompt.
Impact
When users invoke the skill, it fails silently — the agent searches for a catalog that doesn't exist and has nothing to suggest or install.
Proposed Fix
One of the following:
Option A — Add the prompts catalog: Create a prompts/ directory with community-contributed .prompt.md files and a docs/README.prompts.md index, consistent with how instructions/ and agents/ are organized.
Option B — Fix the skill: Update the skill to point to wherever prompts actually live (e.g., embedded within skills/ or plugins/), or remove/disable the skill until the catalog exists.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install the
awesome-copilotplugin - Invoke the
suggest-awesome-github-copilot-promptsskill - Observe that no prompts are found/suggested because the source catalog does not exist
Environment
- Skill path:
skills/suggest-awesome-github-copilot-prompts/SKILL.md - Plugin path:
plugins/awesome-copilot/skills/suggest-awesome-github-copilot-prompts/ - Verified via GitHub API tree walk on
