A walkthrough of how to create and use 'skills' in GitHub Copilot CLI — reusable instruction sets that teach the AI agent to follow repeatable workflows. The tutorial covers creating a skill file with YAML front matter inside a .github/skills folder, writing step-by-step instructions for the agent, and demonstrating the skill in action by having Copilot automatically create a feature branch, implement a footer component, and commit the changes. Skills can be invoked manually via slash commands or triggered autonomously by Copilot when it detects the appropriate context.
