'[AI & Tools] Synchronize and update Claude Code and GitHub Copilot development tool configurations to work similarly. Use when asked to update Claude Code setup, update Copilot setup, sync AI dev tools, add new skills/prompts/agents across both platforms, or ensure Claude and Copilot configurations are aligned. Covers skills, prompts, agents, instructions, workflows, and chat modes.'

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Synchronize Claude Code and GitHub Copilot configurations to maintain feature parity across both AI dev tools.

Workflow:

  1. Understand — Read current configs (CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md, agents, workflows)
  2. Research — Search for latest features across both platforms
  3. Compare — Identify gaps in skills, prompts, agents, or instructions
  4. Sync — Implement changes in both platforms maintaining compatibility

Key Rules:

  • Copilot reads .claude/skills/ automatically (backward compatibility)
  • Both platforms read .github/prompts/*.prompt.md and .github/agents/*.md
  • Always update both CLAUDE.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md + .github/instructions/*.instructions.md for instruction changes

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

AI Dev Tools Sync

Synchronize Claude Code and GitHub Copilot configurations to maintain feature parity.

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

  • User asks to update Claude Code or Copilot setup
  • User wants to add/modify skills, prompts, agents, or instructions
  • User wants both tools to work similarly
  • User asks about AI dev tool configuration

Quick Reference

| Claude Code | GitHub Copilot | Location | | --------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | | SKILL.md | SKILL.md | .claude/skills/ + .github/skills/ | | SKILL.md | prompts/*.prompt.md | .claude/skills/ + .github/prompts/ | | agents/*.md | agents/*.md | .github/agents/ (shared) | | workflows/*.md | - | .claude/workflows/ | | CLAUDE.md | copilot + instructions/ | Root + .github/ | | - | chatmodes/*.chatmode.md | .github/chatmodes/ |

Sync Process

Step 1: Understand Current Setup

Read these files to understand current configuration:

.claude/workflows/orchestration-protocol.md
.claude/workflows/primary-workflow.md
.github/copilot-instructions.md
.github/instructions/*.instructions.md
.github/AGENTS.md
CLAUDE.md

Step 2: Research Latest Features

Search web for:

  • "GitHub Copilot features setup 2026"
  • "GitHub Copilot custom instructions agents skills prompts"
  • "GitHub Copilot agent mode workspace context"

See references/copilot-features.md for feature catalog.

Step 3: Identify Sync Opportunities

Compare capabilities and identify gaps:

  • Skills missing in one platform
  • Inconsistent prompt/instruction behavior
  • Agent definitions that differ

Step 4: Implement Changes

For each change:

  1. Skills: Create in both .claude/skills/ and .github/skills/
  2. Prompts: Create in both .claude/skills/ and .github/prompts/
  3. Instructions: Update CLAUDE.md + .github/copilot-instructions.md + .github/instructions/*.instructions.md
  4. Agents: Update .github/agents/ (shared by both)

Compatibility Notes

  • Copilot reads .claude/skills/ automatically (backward compatibility)
  • Both read .github/prompts/*.prompt.md
  • Both read .github/agents/*.md
  • Both read AGENTS.md in root or .github/
  • Both support path-based instruction files via applyTo in frontmatter

Closing Reminders

  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
