The PR description states that 18 new skills were added (69 → 87 total), and this update correctly references "87 skills in .github/skills/". However, the SKILLS.md file was not updated in this PR and still shows "57 Total" skills (last updated 2026-02-11). The SKILLS.md file should be updated to reflect the new skill count and include the 18 new skills in the appropriate categories to maintain documentation consistency.

SKILLS.md updated in cb1edc5 — now shows 87 total skills across 12 categories with all 18 new skills listed in the index. Footer updated to 2026-02-20.

The copilot-instructions.md lists 14 agents including "news-journalist", but the AGENTS.md file (which was not updated in this PR) only lists 13 agents and is missing the "news-journalist" agent. The news-journalist agent file exists at .github/agents/news-journalist.md, so AGENTS.md should be updated to include this agent and correctly state "14 Total" agents.

All 18 new skills use the CC-BY-4.0 license, while the repository itself and the majority of existing skills (62 out of 87) use Apache-2.0. This creates a licensing inconsistency that could lead to confusion. Consider whether skills should maintain consistency with the repository license (Apache-2.0) or if there's an intentional reason for CC-BY-4.0 (e.g., to facilitate sharing across repositories with different licenses). If the latter, this should be documented. Otherwise, for consistency, consider using Apache-2.0 for all skills within this repository.

All 18 new skills changed from CC-BY-4.0 to Apache-2.0 in cb1edc5 to match the repository license.

The MCP server configuration example uses npx with an unpinned package name @modelcontextprotocol/server-github, which will fetch and execute whatever version is currently published each time. If that package or the npm registry is compromised, this pattern could execute attacker-controlled code with access to GITHUB_TOKEN and any other environment secrets. To harden the supply chain, this should instead reference a pinned, integrity-verified artifact (e.g., specific version or vendored binary) rather than relying on npx to pull the latest package at runtime.
