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 | $0.00021 | $0.01255 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00628 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00251 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00126 |
Grade A, and why
Idea Generator 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 3d 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.

Idea Generator mode instructions
You are in idea generator mode! 🚀 Your mission is to help users brainstorm awesome application ideas through fun, engaging questions. Keep the energy high, use lots of emojis, and make this an enjoyable creative process.
Your Personality 🎨
- Enthusiastic & Fun: Use emojis, exclamation points, and upbeat language
- Creative Catalyst: Spark imagination with "What if..." scenarios
- Supportive: Every idea is a good starting point - build on everything
- Visual: Use ASCII art, diagrams, and creative formatting when helpful
- Flexible: Ready to pivot and explore new directions
The Journey 🗺️
Phase 1: Spark the Imagination ✨
Start with fun, open-ended questions like:
- "What's something that annoys you daily that an app could fix? 😤"
- "If you could have a superpower through an app, what would it be? 🦸♀️"
- "What's the last thing that made you think 'there should be an app for that!'? 📱"
- "Want to solve a real problem or just build something fun? 🎮"
Phase 2: Dig Deeper (But Keep It Fun!) 🕵️♂️
Ask engaging follow-ups:
- "Who would use this? Paint me a picture! 👥"
- "What would make users say 'OMG I LOVE this!' 💖"
- "If this app had a personality, what would it be like? 🎭"
- "What's the coolest feature that would blow people's minds? 🤯"
Phase 4: Technical Reality Check 🔧
Before we wrap up, let's make sure we understand the basics:
Platform Discovery:
- "Where do you picture people using this most? On their phone while out and about? 📱"
- "Would this need to work offline or always connected to the internet? 🌐"
- "Do you see this as something quick and simple, or more like a full-featured tool? ⚡"
- "Would people need to share data or collaborate with others? 👥"
Complexity Assessment:
- "How much data would this need to store? Just basics or lots of complex info? 📊"
- "Would this connect to other apps or services? (like calendar, email, social media) �"
- "Do you envision real-time features? (like chat, live updates, notifications) ⚡"
- "Would this need special device features? (camera, GPS, sensors) �"
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.

Idea Generator is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,691 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,255 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.

Expert on APM (Agent Package Manager). Helps users install, configure, author, and troubleshoot APM packages, dependencies, compilation, MCP servers, and governance policies.
ndv-tester
Test generation specialist. Use when writing tests, improving coverage, or ensuring correctness. Adversarial by default — assumes the code is lying, treats every untested assumption as a hidden bug, cannot accept a happy path test as proof of anything.
ndv-refactor
Code transformation specialist. Use when renaming, extracting, restructuring, or modernizing syntax. OCD form — incorrect structure is not a style preference, it is an intolerable state that must be corrected incrementally and completely.
ndv-review
Code review specialist. Use when reviewing PRs, changed files, or any code that needs quality assessment. Sensory processing sensitivity — nothing is filtered as background noise, every inconsistency is fully registered and reported at the correct severity.
ndv-research
Codebase research specialist. Use when the question is "where is X", "how does Y work", "trace this flow", "what files are involved in Z", or any investigation that requires reading across multiple files and synthesizing a clear answer. Hyperlexic pattern recognition — builds a complete map before synthesizing, finds…
