Install a Plugin
For most users, the Awesome Copilot marketplace is already registered in the Copilot CLI/VS Code, so you can install a plugin directly:
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilotIf you are using an older Copilot CLI version or a custom setup and see an error that the marketplace is unknown, register it once and then install:
copilot plugin marketplace add github/awesome-copilot
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilotContributing

Colophon
How this issue was made- Source
- github.com/github/awesome-copilot, branch
main, last pushed 24 September 2026. - Licence
- MIT — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.
- Discovery
- 200 skills found by walking the repository tree for
SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. 2 distinct layouts observed:.github/skills/*/SKILL.md,skills/*/SKILL.md. - Authorship
- 3 of 200 skills are installed into the repository rather than published from it. They are shelved in the closing “Credited skills” part and remain the work of their own authors. A skill counts as credited when its only copy lives under one agent’s dot directory; visible directories, per-agent mirror sets, and skills installable from this repository on skills.sh all count as published.
- Issue colours
- Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 295°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
- Heading repairs
- 1 repair applied to the front matter so the document has one
h1and no skipped levels:- Shifted “8 headings” from h1 to h2 so the skill title is the only h1.
- Spec compliance
- Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
- Images
- Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
- Marketplace
- A plugin manifest is published at
.github/plugin/marketplace.jsonby GitHub, declaring 162 plugins. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree. - Signal
- Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
- Agent surfaces
- The whole issue is available as one markdown document at
/github/awesome-copilot.md, and each skill at its own.mdURL. - Publication
- Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
