Descripción
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Working with skills spread across multiple repos or in subdirectories of mono-repos are currently not possible to include without a lot of copying around and cleaning up.
### Proposed solution
Support `skillDirectories` setting both in `.github/copilot/settings.json` and `.github/copilot/settings.local.json` so that we can customise which skills are exposed based on the type of work, the sub-path in a mono-repo and when working across multiple repos. All three scenarios are fairly common in a medium to large enterprise.
### Example prompts or workflows
Let's say I'm working on a frontend-repo and I notice that the backend is not adhering to the contract. I'd like from my frontend-repo to invoke the following skill that lives in backend-repo:
`/investigate-backlog to see if there's a bug on data path of controller Foo where it returns a string instead of a guid`
It wouldn't make sense for me to have it in my user settings since it's dependent upon the type of work I'm doing and the repo I'm currently using. If I duplicate the skill in frontend-repo's .github folder, then I can't be sure when backend folks update something on their end and I get outdated results.
### Additional context
A bit similar to the following issues but not the same IMO:
- #3688
- #3505
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza rastreando cómo se lee actualmente skillDirectories desde la configuración del usuario y cómo se cargan las configuraciones del repositorio. Compara el comportamiento de .github/copilot/settings.json y .github/copilot/settings.local.json, incluidos los skills de otros repositorios y los subdirectorios de un monorepo. La tarea está terminada cuando ambos archivos a nivel de repositorio pueden personalizar los directorios de skills expuestos sin copiar skills.
