> 📚 **Autopilot mode**: You may have noticed Shift+Tab cycles through a third mode called **Autopilot**. 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.

### 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 ```bash
# Clone the awesome-copilot repository # Browse and interactively select a skill from awesome-copilot
git clone https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git /tmp/awesome-copilot gh skill install github/awesome-copilot
# Copy a specific skill to your project # Or install a specific skill directly
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/code-checklist .github/skills/ gh skill install github/awesome-copilot code-checklist
# Or for personal use across all projects # Install for personal use across all projects (user scope)
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/code-checklist ~/.copilot/skills/ 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. > ⚠️ **Review before installing**: Always read a skill's `SKILL.md` before installing it.
