- **Project-scoped:** `.github/skills/<skill-name>/`, `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/`, `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/`
71+
- **User-scoped (global):** `~/.copilot/skills/<skill-name>/`, `~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/`, `~/.agents/skills/<skill-name>/`

Each `SKILL.md` file can include YAML front matter with metadata (name, description) followed by Markdown content that provides domain knowledge, workflows, or instructions for the AI assistant.

Skills are automatically discovered and available in Agent Mode. You can enable or disable skills in **Window → Preferences → Copilot → Chat → Enable Skills**.
