Skills Support Arrives in GitHub Copilot: December 2025 Update

Big news for developers: GitHub Copilot now supports skills! If you’ve ever wished Copilot could do more than just autocomplete code, this update is for you.

What Are Skills?

Think of skills as little packages of expertise—chunks of logic or knowledge you can plug into your agents and tools. They started as a way for the agent community to share cool tricks and best practices, but now they’re the backbone of modern AI workflows.

With the MCP standard, skills are easier to publish, find, and use than ever before.

Why Does It Matter?

• Smarter Suggestions: Copilot can now offer code and solutions that fit your project, not just generic snippets.
• Easy Integration: Add open-source or custom skills with a click.
• Growing Marketplace: There are thousands of new skills popping up every month.
• Transparency: Every skill is documented, versioned, and reviewed by the community.

How to Get Started

Curious about what skills can do?

• Check out the skills resource search results to see what’s available.
