Use `--copy` to materialize real copies instead of symlinks (e.g. on Windows without developer mode; symlinks also fall back to copies automatically when unsupported).

+### Skills Lockfile
+
+When skills are installed, an `agents-toolkit-lock.json` file is written to the project root. This lockfile records each installed skill with its SHA-256 hash (same algorithm used by `npx skills`), allowing teammates and CI pipelines to restore the exact same skill files without committing them to the repository.
+
+**Recommended `.gitignore` entries** (automatically appended by `install`):
+
+```gitignore
+# agents-toolkit managed — regenerate with: npx @silverassist/agents-toolkit restore
+.agents/skills/
+.github/skills/
+.claude/skills/
+```
+
+**Workflow:**

+npx @silverassist/agents-toolkit@latest install
+git add agents-toolkit-lock.json
+git commit -m "chore: add agents-toolkit skills"

+
+The Jira and GitHub workflow prompts rely on MCP servers to read/write tickets and pull requests.
+Add a `.mcp.json` file to your project root (or use VS Code's MCP settings) to register the servers:
+
+```json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "atlassian": {
+      "type": "http",

+
+> You only need to include the server(s) matching your `--tracker` choice.
+> The Atlassian MCP uses OAuth — authenticate once with `npx @atlassian/mcp-server auth` or via the VS Code MCP UI.
+> The GitHub MCP is authenticated automatically when you are signed in to GitHub Copilot.
