# GitHub Copilot skill

GitHub Copilot is the completion and chat assistant inside VS Code, JetBrains, and github.com. Completions, Copilot Chat, and Copilot Workspace-style flows are the human job. Agent-style coding exists but is coupled to GitHub's identity and policy engine, which enterprises like and independents sometimes fight. We score it below Cursor on the agent axis because Copilot is still primarily an in-editor copilot, not an autonomous repo operator with a public task API. Twin Score on this directory is 84 for humans and 72 for agents, using the public rubric (interface, onboarding, human docs, collaboration, support, pricing fairness, accessibility, reliability versus API quality, MCP or tool surface, CLI, structured docs, machine auth, quotas, determinism, and skill packaging). GitHub Copilot is sold by GitHub, founded 2021, headquartered in San Francisco, USA. Pricing in public materials: Individual, Business, and Enterprise seat plans; some features bundled into GitHub editions. Machine capabilities we record: API basic, MCP none, CLI basic, docs strong, auth GitHub identity. This page is editorial, not a star rating scraped from users.

## When to use

## When not to use

Do not claim an MCP server exists unless the capability matrix says so (current MCP level: none). Do not invent user-count ratings.
