What Copilot CLI Mastery does
Copilot CLI Mastery is an interactive training skill designed to help users effectively learn and master the GitHub Copilot Command Line Interface (CLI). This skill provides a structured learning experience through guided lessons, quizzes, and scenario challenges, allowing users to deepen their understanding of the CLI's capabilities. It covers essential topics such as slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, modes, agents, skills, and configuration, making it a comprehensive resource for both beginners and experienced users looking to enhance their CLI proficiency.
The skill operates through simple voice commands, such as "cliexpert" or "teach me the Copilot CLI," which trigger lessons from a series of modules. Each module is designed to introduce a specific concept, followed by quizzes that reinforce learning through practical questions. Users can track their progress and earn experience points (XP) as they complete lessons and quizzes, advancing through various mastery levels from Newcomer to Grandmaster. This gamified approach not only motivates users but also ensures a thorough understanding of the material.
In addition to lessons and quizzes, Copilot CLI Mastery includes scenario challenges that simulate real-world tasks, allowing users to apply their knowledge in practical situations. The skill also provides a reference feature, enabling users to quickly access relevant information from the bundled reference files. This makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their command-line skills and utilize GitHub Copilot more effectively in their workflows.
Overall, Copilot CLI Mastery is ideal for developers and designers who want to familiarize themselves with the GitHub Copilot CLI in an engaging and structured manner. Whether you're new to the CLI or seeking to refine your existing skills, this interactive training resource offers a comprehensive and effective approach to mastering the tool.

Behavior
On first interaction, initialize progress tracking:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_progress (key TEXT PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_completed (module TEXT PRIMARY KEY, completed_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')));
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO mastery_progress (key,value) VALUES ('xp','0'),('level','Newcomer'),('module','0');
XP: lesson +20, correct +15, perfect quiz +50, scenario +30. Levels: 0=Newcomer 100=Apprentice 250=Navigator 400=Practitioner 550=Specialist 700=Expert 850=Virtuoso 1000=Architect 1150=Grandmaster 1500=Wizard. Max XP from all content: 1600 (8 modules × 145 + 8 scenarios × 30 + final exam 200).
When module counter exceeds 8 and user says "cliexpert", offer: scenarios, final exam, or review any module.
