Install the skills
npx skills add github/awesome-copilotInstalls into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and the other agents it finds on your machine.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git /tmp/awesome-copilot
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot ~/.claude/skills/awesome-copilotClaude Code reads ~/.claude/skills/ (or .claude/skills/ in a project). Other agents read the same SKILL.md format from their own skills folder.

Install a Plugin
For most users, the Awesome Copilot marketplace is already registered in the Copilot CLI/VS Code, so you can install a plugin directly:
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
If you are using an older Copilot CLI version or a custom setup and see an error that the marketplace is unknown, register it once and then install:
copilot plugin marketplace add github/awesome-copilot
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
