Community Skill Harvester

Scoring: Required checks must pass or skill is rejected. Score 0-6 on remaining criteria. Score ≥4 = adopt candidate. Score 2-3 = adapt candidate. Score <2 = reject.

3. License compatibility check

Acceptable licenses for adoption: Apache-2.0, MIT, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, CC0-1.0, Unlicense.

Copyleft licenses (GPL-*, AGPL-*): flag for manual review before adoption.

No license: do not import.

4. Extract patterns

Before importing, document:

• Structure patterns worth adopting
• Anti-patterns to avoid
• Adaptations needed for local conventions

5. Create import proposal

# Skill Import Proposal: [name]

## Source
- URL: [github.com/org/repo/skills/name]
- License: [SPDX]
- Quality Score: [N/6]

## Rationale
[Why adopt this skill]

## Required Adaptations
- [ ] [Adaptation 1]
- [ ] [Adaptation 2]

## Recommendation
[ADOPT | ADAPT | REFERENCE_ONLY | REJECT]

6. Execute import (if approved)

mkdir -p COPILOT/[skill-name]-COPILOT-L
# Copy and adapt SKILL.md
# Add provenance section documenting origin, license, import date, modifications
git add COPILOT/[skill-name]-*
git commit -m "feat: import [skill-name] from [source]"

Output contract

A harvest report containing:

• Sources searched and count
• Skills evaluated with scores
• Import proposals for candidates scoring ≥2
• Patterns discovered during evaluation

Failure handling

• Registry unavailable: Fall back to direct GitHub search
• License unclear: Do not import; flag for manual review
• Skill format incompatible: Extract concepts, rewrite in local format
• Quality too low: Document as "reference only", do not import
