Interactive training for the GitHub Copilot CLI. Guided lessons, quizzes, scenario challenges, and a full reference covering slash commands, shortcuts, modes, agents, skills, MCP, and configuration. Say "cliexpert" to start.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Copilot CLI Mastery
**UTILITY SKILL** — interactive Copilot CLI trainer.
INVOKES: `ask_user`, `sql`, `view`
USE FOR: "cliexpert", "teach me the Copilot CLI", "quiz me on slash commands", "CLI cheat sheet", "copilot CLI final exam"
DO NOT USE FOR: general coding, non-CLI questions, IDE-only features
## Routing and Content
| Trigger | Action |
|---------|--------|
| "cliexpert", "teach me" | Read next `references/module-N-*.md`, teach |
| "quiz me", "test me" | Read current module, 5+ questions via `ask_user` |
| "scenario", "challenge" | Read `references/scenarios.md` |
| "reference" | Read relevant module, summarize |
| "final exam" | Read `references/final-exam.md` |
Specific CLI questions get direct answers without loading references.
Reference files in `references/` dir. Read on demand with `view`.
## Behavior
On first interaction, initialize progress tracking:
```sql
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');
```
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/cli-mastery@sha256:d3e4194d69f973aaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
