Copilot CLI 1.0.65 requires `argument-hint` frontmatter to be a string. The unquoted `argument-hint: [text]` form is parsed as a YAML flow sequence (array), causing the CLI to fail loading the skill. Wrap 56 SKILL.md files across `.agents/skills/` and `.claude/skills/` so the value is unambiguously a string: - `argument-hint: [X]` -> `argument-hint: "[X]"` - values containing `"` -> single-quoted (diagram, thoughtbox-onboard) No prose or semantics changed; only YAML frontmatter quoting. Related: - Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything#540 (same class of fix) - anthropics/claude-code#22161 (latent equivalent on Claude Code)

Summary
Copilot CLI 1.0.65 made
argument-hintin skill frontmatter strictly astring. The unquoted form used throughout
.claude/skills/and.agents/skills/is parsed by YAML as a flow sequence (array), whichmakes the CLI refuse to load the skill.
This PR quotes the value in every affected SKILL.md so it parses as a
string. No prose, semantics, or field ordering changed.
The YAML rule
argument-hint:followed by an unquoted[is a YAML flow sequence, nota string:
Where the value already contains double quotes, single quotes are used to
wrap the whole thing (e.g.
diagram,thoughtbox-onboard).Files touched
56 SKILL.md files — 28 under
.agents/skills/and 28 under.claude/skills/(the two trees are duplicates of each other).All 77
argument-hintoccurrences across the repo now parse as YAMLstrings — verified with a Python
yaml.safe_loadpass over everySKILL.md.
Files already using
<...>(e.g.ulysses-protocol,theseus-protocol,supabase,assumptions,eval,knowledge,peer-notebook-delivery-guard,hdd) were untouched — those are already strings under YAML rules.Files already fully quoted (
ulc-loop,thoughtbox-research,status)were also untouched.
