## 🔧 How to Use
### 🔌 Plugins
Plugins are installable packages generated from collections. Each plugin contains symlinked agents, commands (prompts), and skills from the source collection, making it easy to install a curated set of resources.
#### Installing Plugins
First, add the Awesome Copilot marketplace to your Copilot CLI:
```bash
copilot marketplace add github/awesome-copilot
```
Then install any plugin from the collection:
```bash
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
```
Alternatively, you can use the `/plugin` command within a Copilot chat session to browse and install plugins interactively.
### 🤖 Custom Agents
Custom agents can be used in Copilot coding agent (CCA), VS Code, and Copilot CLI (coming soon). For CCA, when assigning an issue to Copilot, select the custom agent from the provided list. In VS Code, you can activate the custom agent in the agents session, alongside built-in agents like Plan and Agent.
