What do you want to see added or changed?

Dear all, Currently, running the command "uipro init --ai copilot" generates output in a generic .github/prompts folder. Could you please update this command to:

  • Target the correct standard folder structure for GitHub Copilot skills (e.g., .github/skills/ instead of prompts).
  • Adopt the SKILL.md (instead of PROMPT.md) format so that GitHub Copilot (GHCP) in Visual Studio Code can natively discover and load the skill.

Thank you for your amazing work on this tool!

Regards

Why is this useful? (use case, example project)

GHCP supports now SKILL.md. With PROMPT.md GHCP can't load this skill.
