An experienced engineer can handcraft a prompt, point GitHub Copilot at a repository, review a few changes, and work through the upgrade. The challenge isn't upgrading one application. The challenge is upgrading the next ten, twenty, or forty applications with the same level of quality, consistency, and safety. That is where a reusable GitHub Copilot Skill becomes valuable.
