What does the eyeball skill do?
Document analysis with inline source screenshots. When you ask Copilot to analyze a document, Eyeball generates a Word doc where every factual claim includes a highlighted screenshot from the source material so you can verify it with your own eyes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill eyeball --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
