Creating a GitHub Copilot Skill from Scratch
Custom Copilot skills help you turn repeatable team workflows into reusable commands, so you spend less time re-explaining context and more time shipping. This video walks through creating a skill end-to-end with Copilot CLI, including implementation details and how to validate the behavior before sharing it.
What you will learn
- How Copilot Skills work conceptually and where they fit in daily engineering flow
- How to scaffold, implement, and test a custom skill with Copilot CLI
- How to package practical workflows into repeatable AI-assisted development tasks
Good to know
- Skills are most effective when scoped to one concrete job
- Testing with real project context is key before relying on a skill broadly
