How to install
Run this command to install the 'Hebrew Document Generator' skill in GitHub Copilot.
gh copilot skill install skills-il/localization --skill hebrew-document-generatorHow it works with GitHub Copilot
- GitHub Copilot loads custom instructions from a single file: .github/copilot-instructions.md in your project root. The file is plain Markdown and Copilot prepends it to every request automatically.
- The npx skills-il add command appends the skill to your existing file (or creates one). You can install multiple skills and they merge into the same file.
- After installing, restart your IDE so Copilot reloads the instructions. Verify the file is attached to each request via Copilot Chat in VS Code (Toggle References).
