What it does
Awesome GitHub Copilot gathers add-ons that people have shared for GitHub Copilot, an AI coding assistant. These include specialised agents, coding rules that apply automatically, skills and plugin bundles.
A companion website lets you search and filter hundreds of these resources. It also has a Learning Hub with guides for people new to customising Copilot.
The add-ons come from many outside developers, and the README advises checking each one before you install it.
