In autopilot mode, Copilot works through an entire plan without waiting for your input after each step — like handing a task to a colleague and saying "let me know when you're finished." The typical workflow is plan → accept → autopilot, which means you need to be good at writing plans first. Get comfortable with Interactive and Plan modes, then see the [official docs](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/agents/copilot-cli/autopilot) when you're ready.

> 💡 **Tip**: Some models cost more "premium requests" than others. Models marked **1x** (like Claude Sonnet 4.5) are a great default. They're capable and efficient. Higher-multiplier models use your premium request quota faster, so save those for when you really need them.

> 💡 **Not sure which model to pick?** Select **`Auto`** from the model picker to let Copilot automatically choose the best available model for each session. This is a great default if you're just getting started and don't want to think about model selection.

### Installing a Community Skill Manually
|

### Installing a Community Skill with GitHub CLI
|
||||
|
||||
If you find a skill in a GitHub repository, copy its folder into your skills directory:
|
||||
The easiest way to install a skill from a GitHub repository is using the `gh skill install` command (requires [GitHub CLI v2.90.0+](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-16-manage-agent-skills-with-github-cli/)):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Clone the awesome-copilot repository
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git /tmp/awesome-copilot
|
||||
# Browse and interactively select a skill from awesome-copilot
|
||||
gh skill install github/awesome-copilot
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy a specific skill to your project
|
||||
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/code-checklist .github/skills/
|
||||
# Or install a specific skill directly
|
||||
gh skill install github/awesome-copilot code-checklist
|
||||
|
||||
# Or for personal use across all projects
|
||||
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/code-checklist ~/.copilot/skills/
|
||||
# Install for personal use across all projects (user scope)
|
||||
gh skill install github/awesome-copilot code-checklist --scope user
|
||||
```

> ⚠️ **Review before installing**: Always read a skill's `SKILL.md` before copying it into your project. Skills control what Copilot does, and a malicious skill could instruct it to run harmful commands or modify code in unexpected ways.
