Copilot automatically scans these locations for skills:

| Built-in (ships with CLI) | Available to everyone, no setup needed |

| `~/.copilot/skills/` | User-specific (your personal skills) |

> 💡 **Built-in skills**: Starting with v1.0.17, GitHub Copilot CLI ships with skills pre-installed. For example, the `customizing-copilot-cloud-agents-environment` skill provides a guide for setting up the Copilot cloud agent environment. Run `/skills list` to see all available skills, including built-in ones.
