feat: VS Code Copilot supports global skills via ~/.claude/skills/

Browse source 
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.

Claude Code and VS Code Copilot share the same global path (`~/.claude/skills/`) — one install works for both. Cursor requires per-project install; see [global workaround](#cursor--global-install).

### IDEs (per-project) ### Global install (available in all projects)
These platforms load skills from a directory inside each project: These platforms support a global user-level skills directory. Install once, use in every project:
```bash ```bash
# VS Code with GitHub Copilot # Claude Code + VS Code Copilot (same path works for both)
git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git .github/skills/agent-skill-creator git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git ~/.claude/skills/agent-skill-creator
# Cursor # Also works via the Copilot-specific global path
git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git .cursor/rules/agent-skill-creator git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git ~/.copilot/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)
git clone https://github.com/FrancyJGLisboa/agent-skill-creator.git .github/skills/agent-skill-creator
# Windsurf # Windsurf

### 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. Cursor does not have a global skills directory. Clone once and symlink per project:
**The workaround: clone once, symlink per project.**
```bash ```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 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): # 2. In any project, symlink
# VS Code with GitHub Copilot
mkdir -p .github/skills && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .github/skills/agent-skill-creator
# Cursor
mkdir -p .cursor/rules && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .cursor/rules/agent-skill-creator 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`): Add a shell alias to automate this (`~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`):
```bash ```bash
# Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc (pick your platform): alias install-skills='mkdir -p .cursor/rules && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .cursor/rules/agent-skill-creator'
alias install-skills='mkdir -p .github/skills && ln -s ~/agent-skills/agent-skill-creator .github/skills/agent-skill-creator'
``` ```
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. Then in any project: `install-skills`. Updates propagate automatically via the symlink.
