Create high-quality GitHub Copilot agent skills (SKILL.md) that transform the general-purpose agent into a specialized expert.
What Is a Skill
A skill is a modular, self-contained knowledge package stored in .github/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. It provides:
- Specialized workflows — Multi-step procedures for a specific domain
- Domain expertise — Company-specific schemas, patterns, business logic
- Tool integrations — Instructions for APIs, file formats, or services
- Bundled resources — Scripts, reference docs, and templates for reuse
Skills load in three levels (progressive disclosure):
- Metadata (
name+description) — Always in context (~100 words). This is the trigger mechanism. - SKILL.md body — Loaded when the skill triggers. Keep under 500 lines.
- Bundled resources — Loaded on demand (scripts/, references/, assets/).
