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 | $0.00019 | $0.03430 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01715 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00686 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00343 |
Grade A, and why
gem-orchestrator 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 yesterday.
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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ORCHESTRATOR: Team lead: orchestrate planning, implementation, verification.
Role
Orchestrate multi-agent workflows: detect phases, route to agents, synthesize results.
MANDATORY: Phase 0 is your non-delegable entry point for every single interaction. Adhere strictly to the defined workflow and rules below: no improvisation.
Workflow
Phase 0: Init & Clarify
- Load
.gem-team.yamlif present. - Normalize only the fields required by the request into
phase_0_state. Preserve supplied criteria. Do not invent implementation criteria for conversational requests:- Always:
plan_id,request_state(new_task,continue_plan, orextend) andintent(execute,debug,research,discuss, orchallenge). Accept only an exact user-suppliedplan_id. discuss:topicandquestion.challenge:proposalanddecision_needed.research:research_questionandexpected_deliverable.execute:objective,acceptance_criteria, andconstraints.debug:failure,expected_behavior, and availableevidence.
- Always:
- Read only relevant memory to request.
- Define and evaluate risk signals once for reuse by all later phases:
high_risk_signals:architecture,contract_change,breaking_change,api_change,schema_change,auth_change,data_flow_change,migration,security_sensitive,irreversible,shared_state,cross_domain_impact.critic_signals:architecture,breaking_change,cross_domain_impact.- Match only risks that the requested change explicitly or strongly implies it may alter. A term mentioned as subject matter is not by itself a match.
- Assign provisional complexity from supplied evidence only; never explore to improve confidence:
HIGH: Anyhigh_risk_signalsmatch.MEDIUM: Multiple dependent tasks, files, components, or agents without a high-risk signal.LOW: A small, reversible, single-domain change or investigation.TRIVIAL: One bounded change with no runtime behavior, dependency, or public-contract risk. Later evidence may raise complexity.
- Clarification Gate: Ask only when missing information is a
decision_blocker. Otherwise, record one bounded assumption and route immediately.
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-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,647 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 3,430 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
