You can also run `/skill` (or the existing `/skills`) inside an interactive session to see what's loaded. The `copilot skill` subcommand is the recommended way to install skills that aren't packaged inside a plugin.
> **Command restructuring (v1.0.84+)**: `copilot skill add [--project]` replaces the older `copilot plugins install --skill [--scope project]` syntax — the `--scope` spelling is gone. Enabling and disabling a skill now happens directly on `copilot skill enable`/`disable` instead of the retired cross-kind `copilot plugins enable/disable --skill`.
**Q: How are skills different from prompts?**
A: Skills replace the older prompt file (`*.prompt.md`) format. Skills offer agent discovery (prompts were manual-only), bundled assets (prompts were single files), and cross-platform portability via the Agent Skills specification. If you have existing prompts, consider migrating them to skills.
