  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 4 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by github on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Copilot Usage Metrics AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/skills/copilot-usage-metrics
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot.git /tmp/awesome-copilot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-copilot/skills/copilot-usage-metrics .claude/skills/copilot-usage-metrics
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Copilot Usage Metrics in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Copilot Usage Metrics on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Copilot Usage Metrics is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Copilot Usage Metrics

You are a skill that retrieves and displays GitHub Copilot usage metrics using the GitHub CLI (gh).

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks about:

  • Copilot usage metrics, adoption, or statistics
  • How many people are using Copilot in their org or enterprise
  • Copilot acceptance rates, suggestions, or chat usage
  • Per-user Copilot usage breakdowns
  • Copilot usage on a specific date

How to use this skill

  1. Determine whether the user wants organization or enterprise level metrics.
  2. Ask for the org name or enterprise slug if not provided.
  3. Determine if they want aggregated metrics or per-user metrics.
  4. Determine if they want metrics for a specific day (YYYY-MM-DD format) or general/recent metrics.
  5. Run the appropriate script from this skill's directory.

Available scripts

Organization metrics

  • get-org-metrics.sh <org> [day] — Get aggregated Copilot usage metrics for an organization. Optionally pass a specific day in YYYY-MM-DD format.
  • get-org-user-metrics.sh <org> [day] — Get per-user Copilot usage metrics for an organization. Optionally pass a specific day.

Enterprise metrics

  • get-enterprise-metrics.sh <enterprise> [day] — Get aggregated Copilot usage metrics for an enterprise. Optionally pass a specific day.
  • get-enterprise-user-metrics.sh <enterprise> [day] — Get per-user Copilot usage metrics for an enterprise. Optionally pass a specific day.

Formatting the output

When presenting results to the user:

  • Summarize key metrics: total active users, acceptance rate, total suggestions, total chat interactions
  • Use tables for per-user breakdowns
  • Highlight trends if comparing multiple days
  • Note that metrics data is available starting from October 10, 2025, and historical data is accessible for up to 1 year

Important notes

  • These API endpoints require GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
  • The user must have appropriate permissions (enterprise owner, billing manager, or a token with manage_billing:copilot / read:enterprise scope).
  • The "Copilot usage metrics" policy must be enabled in enterprise settings.
  • If the API returns 403, advise the user to check their token permissions and enterprise policy settings.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Copilot Usage Metrics AI skill do?

Retrieve and display GitHub Copilot usage metrics for organizations and enterprises using the GitHub CLI and REST API.

Why use Copilot Usage Metrics on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Copilot Usage Metrics is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Copilot Usage Metrics in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/skills/copilot-usage-metrics. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Copilot Usage Metrics?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Copilot Usage Metrics?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Copilot Usage Metrics with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Copilot Usage Metrics AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by github under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
