+## Pick & polish
+
+**Fix all** invokes the bundled, model-discoverable [`/replica-pick-and-polish` skill](skills/replica-pick-and-polish/SKILL.md) with the verified checkout, branch, batch ID, and thread count. Notes, conversation history, and images are retrieved separately from the immutable batch. When the skill is missing or disabled, or the runtime has no skill catalog, the request includes the same bundled procedure inline. Catalog or fallback-file errors stop preparation without sending work or leaving a batch awaiting results. See the [Pick & polish guide](../../../hub/docs/prototype-canvas.md#pick--polish) for saved-note and recovery behavior.

 ## Learnings
 
 When this repository has a Hub connection and a Hub administrator connected Copilot, each prompt you submit gets the [learnings](../../../hub/docs/learnings.md) your repository's administrators accepted in Hub. The extension never sends your prompt to Hub. Copilot treats the learnings as guidance from your team, not as commands. Its first successful answer replaces earlier learning context, including after a restart or session resume; an empty answer explicitly clears it. Later unchanged answers add nothing. When learnings change, or Learnings is turned off, the next successful answer replaces the earlier guidance. It adds nothing when Hub's answer is not in the form that `replica-learning` writes. It never delays a prompt by more than three seconds and never fails it. Without a Hub connection it adds nothing and never asks you to connect. If you connected before the approval page mentioned learnings, disconnect and connect again to get them.
