github-copilot
AI-powered coding assistant providing inline suggestions, chat interface, code review, and autonomous coding agent across IDEs and GitHub.com
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill github-copilot --agent copilot
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, cursor.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
GitHub Copilot acts as an AI coding assistant that offers real-time inline code suggestions, an interactive chat interface, automated code review, and autonomous coding capabilities across multiple IDEs and GitHub.com.
How it works
- Offers Inline Code Suggestions that appear as grayed text; press Tab to accept.
- Provides Next Edit Suggestions to anticipate edits, with gutter arrows indicating locations; navigation via Tab to cycle suggestions.
- Includes Copilot Chat for coding questions via Chat View, Quick Chat, and Inline Chat with modes (Ask, Edit, Agent, Plan).
- Performs Code Review by analyzing changes and proposing edits, with commands to generate reviews in IDEs or GitHub.com.
- Supports Coding Agent that can autonomously implement features from issues to PRs by reading issue requirements, creating a plan, writing code across files, running tests, and iterating on review feedback until approved.
- Includes PR Summaries generation and multi-file editing via Edit Mode and Agent Mode.
- Configurable via Custom Instructions: repository-wide, path-specific, and agent-specific guidance, with support for different environments and models.
When to use it
- When you want real-time coding suggestions while typing.
- When you need quick answers or guidance about code via chat.
- When performing code reviews and receiving automated improvement suggestions.
- When undertaking multi-file refactors or feature implementations through autonomous coding actions.
What it can touch
- Environments supported include VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, Eclipse, Vim/Neovim (limited), GitHub.com (chat and review), GitHub Mobile, and Windows Terminal.
- It references tooling like Copilot and Claude Code as its interaction partners for code generation and review contexts.
Caveats
- Availability and feature sets depend on plan tiers (e.g., certain features may be limited in Free plans).
- Some features (like autonomous coding) operate across multiple files and require approval via PR review workflows.
- Behavior and capabilities are described in the feature matrix and user interfaces; not all environments expose every feature (e.g., some inline suggestions or chat modes may be restricted in Vim/Neovim or GitHub.com in certain modes).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill github-copilot --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
