What it does

Copilot Docs is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Configure GitHub Copilot with custom instructions. Use when setting up .github/copilot-instructions.md, customizing Copilot behavior, or creating repository-specific AI guidance. Triggers on Copilot instructions, copilot-instructions.md, GitHub Copilot config.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/copilot-docs”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- docs.github.com
- code.visualstudio.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Copilot Docs loads about 793 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 55 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~793

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry at commit 2d14a69, republished under its MIT licence (© majiayu000). 55 words, ~793 tokens.

GitHub Copilot Custom Instructions

Configure repository-specific instructions for GitHub Copilot.

Quick Start

Create .github/copilot-instructions.md in your repository:

markdown

# Copilot Instructions

## Code Style
- Use TypeScript with strict mode
- Prefer functional components with hooks
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling

## Project Context
This is a Next.js 14 app using the App Router.
API routes are in `app/api/`.

Effective Patterns

Project Context

markdown

# Project Context

## Tech Stack
- Next.js 14 with App Router
- TypeScript 5.3+
- Tailwind CSS 3.4
- Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL

## Architecture
- `app/` - Next.js App Router pages and API routes
- `components/` - React components
- `lib/` - Utility functions and shared code
- `prisma/` - Database schema and migrations

Code Standards

markdown

# Code Standards

## TypeScript
- Enable strict mode
- Prefer `interface` over `type` for object shapes
- Use explicit return types on functions

## React
- Use functional components exclusively
- Prefer named exports
- Extract hooks to `hooks/` directory

## Error Handling
- Use Result pattern for fallible operations
- Always handle async errors with try/catch
- Log errors with structured format

Naming Conventions

markdown

# Naming Conventions

## Files
- Components: PascalCase (Button.tsx)
- Utilities: camelCase (formatDate.ts)
- Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

## Code
- Boolean variables: is*, has*, should* prefix
- Event handlers: handle* prefix (handleClick)
- Async functions: *Async suffix

Testing

markdown

# Testing Guidelines

## Unit Tests
- Use Vitest for unit testing
- Place tests next to source files (*.test.ts)
- Mock external dependencies

## Test Patterns
```typescript
describe('Component', () => {
  it('should render correctly', () => {
    // Arrange, Act, Assert pattern
  });
});


### API Patterns
```markdown
# API Patterns

## Route Handlers
```typescript
// Standard response format
return NextResponse.json({
  data: result,
  error: null,
  meta: { timestamp: Date.now() }
});

// Error response
return NextResponse.json(
  { data: null, error: { code: 'NOT_FOUND', message: '...' } },
  { status: 404 }
);

Validation

Use Zod for request validation
Validate early, fail fast


### Do's and Don'ts
```markdown
# Guidelines

## Do
- Write self-documenting code
- Add JSDoc comments for public APIs
- Use meaningful variable names

## Don't
- Use `any` type
- Leave console.log in production code
- Commit sensitive data

File Location

The file must be at .github/copilot-instructions.md (not in root).
