Microsoft Copilot Skills

Skills are plain SKILL.md files — instructions, not code — so they work with Microsoft Copilot the same way they work anywhere else. These are the ones Copilot users reach for most, ordered by install count.

How to install a skill

1. Install from the registry. Run the per-skill command shown on each card below from your project root — it writes the skill into your project’s skills directory:
```
npx skills use "https://github.com/owner/repo" --skill "skill-name"
```
2. Or install by hand. Tick the skills you want, download the zip, and put each SKILL.md into .copilot/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.
3. Use it. Reload the Copilot session (or your IDE window) so it re-reads the workspace instructions, then ask for the task the skill covers.
