awesome-copilot: Customize GitHub Copilot with Community Resources

Overview

github/awesome-copilot collects community-created customizations for GitHub Copilot. It helps developers find reusable resources for tailoring Copilot to coding standards, specialized tasks, and workflows, rather than creating every customization from scratch.

The collection is suited to Copilot users who want to explore and adapt contributions for their own work. Its website provides search and filtering, while the repository organizes resources and includes a cookbook and learning materials.

Key Features

• Specialized Copilot agents, including agents that integrate with MCP servers.
• Instructions that apply coding standards automatically by file pattern.
• Self-contained skills with instructions and bundled assets.
• Plugins that bundle agents and skills for particular workflows.
• A website with full-text search and filtering across the collection.
• A Learning Hub with guides and tutorials about Copilot customization.
• A cookbook of copy-paste-ready recipes for working with Copilot APIs.
• A machine-readable llms.txt listing agents, instructions, and skills.

Use Cases

• Developers can find file-pattern instructions when they want Copilot to follow project coding conventions.
• Copilot CLI or VS Code users can install a plugin bundle for a workflow instead of assembling separate customizations.
• Teams exploring agent-based workflows can review contributed agents and related MCP integrations.
• Developers new to Copilot customization can use the Learning Hub to understand concepts and follow practical guides.
• Contributors can share reusable Copilot resources with the community through the repository.

Getting Started

For the Copilot CLI, install a plugin with:

copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot

The repository README and project website provide browsing links and further guidance. If the marketplace is not known to your setup, the README documents how to register it first.

Alternatives

• awesome-agent-skills: It indexes skills for several coding-agent tools, while awesome-copilot focuses on Copilot resources such as agents, instructions, hooks, workflows, and plugins.
• Awesome Agent Skills: It catalogs skills, tools, and plugins across multiple agent ecosystems, rather than focusing on GitHub Copilot resources.
• agency-agents: It centers on role-specific agent instruction files and installation scripts, rather than a broader collection of Copilot resource types.
• skills: It specializes in .NET and C# skills and agents, rather than covering Copilot resources across development domains.

Considerations

• This is a collection of contributed customizations, not a standalone Copilot client or a general-purpose agent runtime.
• Resources may vary in quality and suitability. The repository advises inspecting an agent and its documentation before installing it.
• Plugin installation requires the Copilot CLI or a supported Copilot environment, and availability can depend on the user's setup.
