Description
Describe the bug
When a skill includes bundled reference files (under ~/.copilot/skills//references/), Copilot CLI prompts the user for directory access confirmation for each reference file. This is disruptive because:
- Skills are explicitly allowed to have references/ — these are bundled resources the skill depends on.
- The user already trusted the skill by installing/enabling it.
- The prompt fires repeatedly (e.g., "5 remaining"), breaking the agentic flow.
Affected version
0.0.421
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Install a skill that has files in its references/ directory (e.g., work-awareness skill with references/meeting-radar.md).
- Invoke the skill.
- Observe repeated "Allow directory access" prompts for each reference file.
Expected behavior
The ~/.copilot/skills/<skill-name>/references/ directory should be automatically allowed when a skill is invoked. No user confirmation should be needed for skill-bundled reference files.
