You don’t have to duplicate GitHub Copilot Skills across repos. GitHub Copilot can read Skills from ~/.copilot/skills/ folder instead of the .github folder in a repo Meaning: • One Skill setup • Works in every repo • Define once, use everywhere

Can you combine that with the dot folder config as well?

Checked it, and it searches for Skills in both .copilot and .github folders

I kind of meant this feature instead: docs.github.com/en/codespace... Automatically brings those skills to every codespace you open. And easily integrated in a start-up script to pull them into every workstation you work from.
