</html>What it is
Awesome GitHub Copilot is a community-curated directory of ready-to-use customizations for GitHub Copilot. It collects reusable chat modes, agents, custom instructions, and skills that extend how Copilot behaves inside VS Code and other editors. Instead of starting from a blank prompt, you browse the catalog, find a tailored configuration, and drop it into your repository or editor settings.
How to access / install
Browse the directory in your browser:
https://awesome-copilot.github.com/tools/
Most entries are plain Markdown files you copy into your project. Typical patterns:
- Save a custom instructions file as
.github/copilot-instructions.mdin your repo. - Add a chat mode as a
*.chatmode.mdfile under.github/chatmodes/. - Add an agent / prompt as a
*.prompt.mdfile and invoke it from Copilot Chat.
After committing these files, GitHub Copilot picks them up automatically the next time it loads your workspace.
Good for
- Teams that want a shared, version-controlled set of Copilot behaviors.
- Developers looking for proven prompts, agents, and skills without writing them from scratch.
- Standardizing review, refactor, testing, or documentation workflows across a codebase.
