Document the /compact, /context, and /usage slash commands in the
Copilot Configuration Basics page. These commands were not covered
in the main Learning Hub (outside the separate cli-for-beginners
track), but are broadly useful for interactive and ACP sessions:
- /context: visualize context window token usage
- /usage: display per-session token and API call metrics
- /compact: summarize conversation history to reclaim context space
- Note that all four (/env included) now work in ACP sessions (v1.0.39+)
- Note that ACP clients can toggle allow-all mode via session
configuration without a slash command (v1.0.39+)

Replace all prompt file references with skills guidance throughout the
Learning Hub. Skills are the preferred customization primitive because
they support agent discovery via extended frontmatter, can bundle
reference files and scripts, and are portable across coding agent
systems via the Agent Skills specification.
