Quick Start

1. Instructions — Auto-apply coding guidelines

Copy any .instructions.md file into your repo's .github/ folder (or .vscode/). Copilot will automatically follow these guidelines when generating code matching the applyTo glob pattern.

.github/
  instructions/
    power-bi-dax-best-practices.instructions.md
    python.instructions.md

2. Skills — On-demand expertise

Place skill folders under .github/skills/ in your repo. Reference them in prompts or agent definitions.

.github/
  skills/
    fabric-lakehouse/
      SKILL.md
      references/
        pyspark.md
        getdata.md

3. Agents — Specialized chat modes

Place .agent.md files in .github/agents/. They appear as selectable chat modes in VS Code Copilot Chat.

.github/
  agents/
    power-bi-dax-expert.agent.md
    kusto-assistant.agent.md
