What this skill can do

Install

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'mtp-hot-reload' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'mtp-hot-reload' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named mtp-hot-reload already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/dotnet/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '96c3d68dad2855e3ab5178aa1a262789d86a1466' -- 'plugins/dotnet-test/skills/mtp-hot-reload' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/dotnet-test/skills/mtp-hot-reload' ~/.agents/skills/'mtp-hot-reload' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
