Skills (7)
| Skill | When Copilot Uses It |
|---|---|
| screenshot | Copilot needs to see the screen to answer a question or verify a UI change |
| visual-qa | Visual regression testing: record baseline, make changes, record again, diff |
| monitor | Proactive screen watching during deploys, tests, or builds |
| compress | Large text content (>500 tokens) that would be cheaper as an image |
| redact | Screenshots that may contain API keys, tokens, or PII before sharing |
| dictation | User wants voice input, audio transcription, or speech-to-text |
| annotate | Highlighting areas, marking regressions, creating annotated screenshots |
