feat: VS Code Copilot supports global skills via ~/.claude/skills/
VS Code 1.108+ (Dec 2025) adopted the Agent Skills Open Standard. Default chat.agentSkillsLocations includes ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.copilot/skills/ — same install command as Claude Code, globally available in all projects. No per-project setup needed. One install at ~/.claude/skills/ now works for both Claude Code AND VS Code Copilot. Restructured README: global install first, per-project second. Cursor still needs symlink workaround.

|
||||
These platforms support a global user-level skills directory. Install once, use in every project:
|

|
||||
```bash
|

# VS Code with GitHub Copilot

||||
git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git .github/skills/agent-skill-creator

|
||||
|
||||
VS Code Copilot (1.108+, December 2025) adopted the [Agent Skills Open Standard](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/agent-skills) and searches `~/.claude/skills/` and `~/.copilot/skills/` by default. One install at `~/.claude/skills/` makes a skill globally available on both Claude Code and VS Code Copilot.
|
||||
|
||||
### Per-project install
|
||||
|
||||
For platforms without a global skills directory, or if you prefer per-project installation:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# VS Code with GitHub Copilot (per-project alternative)

### IDEs — global install (available in all projects)
|
||||
### Cursor — global install
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Code is the only platform with a native global skills directory (`~/.claude/skills/`). VS Code Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf only support global rules as markdown text — they don't support full skill directories with scripts and references at the global level.
|
||||
|
||||
**The workaround: clone once, symlink per project.**
|
||||
Cursor does not have a global skills directory. Clone once and symlink per project:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Clone once to a central location
|
||||
# 1. Clone once
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. In any project, create a symlink (pick your platform):
|
||||
|
||||
# VS Code with GitHub Copilot
|
||||
mkdir -p .github/skills && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .github/skills/agent-skill-creator
|
||||
|
||||
# Cursor
|
||||
# 2. In any project, symlink
|
||||
mkdir -p .cursor/rules && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .cursor/rules/agent-skill-creator
|
||||
|
||||
# Windsurf
|
||||
mkdir -p .windsurf/skills && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .windsurf/skills/agent-skill-creator
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To automate this, add a one-word alias to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`):

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then in any project: `install-skills`. One word, done. Updates propagate automatically — `cd ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator && git pull` updates every project at once since they all point to the same clone.
