# 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.

Accord

Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.

Acquire Codebase Knowledge

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.

Acreadiness Assess

Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.

Acreadiness Generate Instructions

Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.

#github-copilot#skillMIT

Acreadiness Policy

Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
