Copies the ai-visibility skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add drvoss/everything-copilot-cli
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 118 files.
-
ai-visibility
Use when you want your product to surface in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) — creates llms.txt, optimizes structured data, and configures AI crawler access for GEO.
skills/content/ai-visibility/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
content-strategy
Use when you need a content plan to grow organic traffic for a product or new area — produces keyword research, topic clusters, and a content calendar targeting your category.
skills/content/content-strategy/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
seo
Use when the user wants better search visibility, SEO remediation, schema markup, sitemap/robots work, or keyword mapping — audits and implements technical SEO, on-page optimization, Core Web Vitals, and structured data
skills/content/seo/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
actions-debugging
Use when a GitHub Actions workflow fails — diagnose the run log, identify the root cause, and apply a targeted fix
skills/copilot-exclusive/actions-debugging/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
agentic-engineering
Use when designing or decomposing a task for agent execution — applies 15-minute task units, eval-first loops, and explicit input/output contracts so agents work reliably without implicit state
skills/copilot-exclusive/agentic-engineering/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
autopilot-patterns
Use when you're ready to let Copilot execute a multi-step plan autonomously — configures appropriate guardrails, handles plan-to-autopilot transitions, and sets safety boundaries.
skills/copilot-exclusive/autopilot-patterns/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
background-agent
Use when a task is too long to block the current session or should run autonomously — delegates to a cloud background agent via & or /delegate so work can continue on GitHub while you keep moving locally, not in a local async PowerShell session.
skills/copilot-exclusive/background-agent/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
context-prime
Invoke when starting a session (or resuming after a break) on a repo before making changes, to load live project context (structure, recent commits, test status)
skills/copilot-exclusive/context-prime/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
copilot-memory
Use when you need to understand, review, or curate GitHub Copilot's repository-level memory — the persistent facts Copilot reuses across CLI, cloud agent, and code review for the same repository
skills/copilot-exclusive/copilot-memory/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cross-session-memory
Use when you need to recover context, decisions, or artifacts across multiple Copilot CLI sessions — search prior session history and resume with the right files, notes, and state.
skills/copilot-exclusive/cross-session-memory/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
ecosystem-intake
Use when monitoring a curated ecosystem source and you need to turn new items into concrete adopt/adapt/reject backlog candidates — combines GitHub-native reading with SQL triage and repository-fit scoring.
skills/copilot-exclusive/ecosystem-intake/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
fleet-parallel
Use when you need to run the same task across many files, components, or contexts in parallel — triggers /fleet mode for batch refactoring, mass testing, or bulk review. NOT when sequential order matters.
skills/copilot-exclusive/fleet-parallel/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
github-code-search
Use when you need real-world implementation examples or cross-repository context — search GitHub's global code index with the built-in MCP tools and reuse the results as grounded context.
skills/copilot-exclusive/github-code-search/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
github-codespaces-efficiency
Use when optimizing GitHub Codespaces — faster startup times, lower spend, slimmer devcontainers, right-sizing machines, or scoping prebuilds.
skills/copilot-exclusive/github-codespaces-efficiency/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
github-issue-triage
Use when you have a backlog of unorganized GitHub Issues — bulk-reads, labels, prioritizes, and assigns issues at scale using Copilot's built-in GitHub MCP tools.
skills/copilot-exclusive/github-issue-triage/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
github-pr-workflow
Use when creating, updating, or managing pull requests — automates the full PR lifecycle (open, review requests, labels, merge) via GitHub MCP
skills/copilot-exclusive/github-pr-workflow/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
ide-switching
Use when moving between VS Code and Copilot CLI in the same session — transfers context between environments so you don't lose state when switching from editor to terminal.
skills/copilot-exclusive/ide-switching/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
knowledge-curator
Use when repeated lessons, pitfalls, or decisions should move from temporary session context into durable project guidance — curate what to keep, what to discard, and where it belongs.
skills/copilot-exclusive/knowledge-curator/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
mcp-builder
Use when you need to build a new MCP server — plan the tool surface, implement the server, register it in Copilot CLI, inspect the config, and test the tools end to end.
skills/copilot-exclusive/mcp-builder/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
mcp-ecosystem
Use when Copilot CLI's built-in tools do not cover a service you need — for example PostgreSQL, Redis, Jira, Slack, or an internal API — and you need to add an MCP server beyond the default GitHub MCP. NOT when the built-in tools already cover the task.
skills/copilot-exclusive/mcp-ecosystem/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
multi-model-strategy
Use when choosing which AI model to use for a task — pick the right model family and tier based on cost, speed, context needs, and reasoning depth
skills/copilot-exclusive/multi-model-strategy/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
plan-mode-mastery
Use when starting a complex multi-step task to create an approved plan, track todos in SQL, and execute with checkpoints
skills/copilot-exclusive/plan-mode-mastery/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
scope-guard
Use when a task must stay inside a narrow file or directory boundary, or when risky commands need an explicit stop rule — define the writable surface first so the agent does not drift.
skills/copilot-exclusive/scope-guard/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
session-management
Use when a task spans multiple steps or sessions and needs structured state tracking — leverages the built-in SQLite session database for todos, dependencies, and batch operation progress.
skills/copilot-exclusive/session-management/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
stack-detector
Scan the current project's tech stack (package.json, config files, lockfiles) and recommend the most relevant skills and rules from this collection for the detected technologies.
skills/copilot-exclusive/stack-detector/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
sub-agent-sandboxing
Use when delegated work needs runtime guardrails — constrain sub-agents with loop detection, circuit breakers, and escalating sandbox levels before accepting their output
skills/copilot-exclusive/sub-agent-sandboxing/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
task-intake-router
Use when a request arrives and the right execution path is unclear — routes the work to the correct mode, agent type, model tier, and delegation pattern before implementation starts.
skills/copilot-exclusive/task-intake-router/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
team-planner
Use when a task is too large or multi-domain for a single agent — assemble a specialist team, assign work via SQL tracking, dispatch with /fleet or task tool, and synthesize results
skills/copilot-exclusive/team-planner/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
token-cost-optimizer
Use before a large Copilot task when model choice, context size, or parallelism could drive up billed usage — estimate cost pressure early and apply Copilot-specific reduction tactics before you run
skills/copilot-exclusive/token-cost-optimizer/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
api-and-interface-design
Use when defining a public API, CLI, webhook, or SDK surface — lock the contract first so compatibility, validation, and versioning stay intentional instead of accidental
skills/development/api-and-interface-design/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
