Summary
Enables VS Code and VS Code Insiders (GitHub Copilot) as skill-supporting clients alongside claude-code, codex, opencode, and cursor.
Both variants run the same GitHub Copilot extension and share the same skill directories:
~/.copilot/skills/<name>(user scope)<project>/.github/skills/<name>(project scope)Paths sourced from the VS Code Agent Skills docs. No platform prefix is needed — unlike VS Code's MCP config (which lives under
Library/Application Supportor.config/Code/), the skills dirs are a flat~/.copilot/and.github/on all platforms.Type of change
