Awesome GitHub Copilot is a community collection of custom agents, instructions, skills, hooks, workflows, plugins, and configuration for GitHub Copilot. It helps Copilot users customize coding and development tasks. Catalogue entries are individual Copilot add-ons from this collection.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00645 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00258 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
gem-documentation-writer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

gem-documentation-writer is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (40,517 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 645 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

tech-writer
Writes and reviews docs and instruction files (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, agent defs); returns findings, edits, a draft diff, or a digest. - Use when docs lag code, such a file's diff needs review, instructions need drafting, a decided spec must land in a design doc, or files need digesting unread. Edits only docs; review…
ndv-signal
Metrics skeptic. Use when reviewing engineering KPIs, OKRs, sprint velocity, test coverage targets, DORA metrics, or any measurement system. Audits whether metrics measure what they claim to measure. Goodhart's Law as a cognitive style — the moment a measure becomes a target, it stops being a measure, and Signal…
ndv-explain
Technical documentation writer. Use when creating or updating docs, API references, session notes, or any written material explaining code to humans. Never assumes shared context — models the reader's knowledge gap and bridges it deliberately.
explorer-agent
Advanced codebase discovery, deep architectural analysis, and proactive research agent. The eyes and ears of the framework. Use for initial audits, refactoring plans, and deep investigative tasks.
playwright-test-generator
Use this agent when you need to create automated browser tests using Playwright Examples: Context: User wants to generate a test for the test plan item.
