What are GitHub Copilot custom agents?

Custom agents are specialized markdown files (.agent.md) that provide domain-specific instructions and tools to enhance AI behavior and accuracy within a specific repository.

Where are the agents sourced from?

The skill fetches available agents and documentation directly from the official GitHub awesome-copilot repository.

How does the skill determine which agents are relevant?

It scans your repository for programming languages, framework indicators (like ASP.NET or React), and project types to match you with agents that best fit your current codebase.

Does this skill install agents automatically?

No, the skill identifies useful agents and presents them in a structured table. It will only download or update files after you provide explicit approval.

Can I update my existing agents using this skill?

Yes, the skill compares your local agent files in .github/agents/ with the latest versions in the awesome-copilot repository and flags those that need updates.
