## Skill Locations

Skills are stored in `.github/skills/` (project-specific) or `~/.copilot/skills/` (user level).
Skills are stored in `.github/skills/` (project-specific), `~/.copilot/skills/` (user level), or come **built-in** with the CLI itself.

### How Copilot Finds Skills

Copilot automatically scans these locations for skills:

| Location | Scope |
|----------|-------|
| Built-in (ships with CLI) | Available to everyone, no setup needed |
| `.github/skills/` | Project-specific (shared with team via git) |
| `~/.copilot/skills/` | User-specific (your personal skills) |

> 💡 **Built-in skills**: Starting with v1.0.17, GitHub Copilot CLI ships with skills pre-installed. For example, the `customizing-copilot-cloud-agents-environment` skill provides a guide for setting up the Copilot cloud agent environment. Run `/skills list` to see all available skills, including built-in ones.

4. **Location matters**: `.github/skills/` for project/team sharing, `~/.copilot/skills/` for personal use

5. **Description is key**: Write descriptions that match how you naturally ask questions

For most of this course, `/mcp show` is all you need. The other commands become useful as you manage more servers over time.
