GitHub Copilot CLI Hands-On: Using AI Skills to Automate Repeatable Work

Hands-on workshop where you'll use Copilot CLI to automate your repetitive tasks with natural language, part of Microsoft Reactor's structured beginner series.

You'll work through practical examples of using Copilot CLI's skills feature to handle repetitive development tasks via natural language prompts, rather than writing boilerplate code or scripts manually. This is the third session in Microsoft Reactor's structured beginner series, so you'll build on foundations from earlier chapters and move deeper into automation workflows. The workshop is hands-on, meaning you'll follow along on your own machine with a live instructor. If you're already familiar with Copilot Chat but haven't explored the CLI yet, or you're curious how AI can genuinely reduce time spent on routine work, this fills that gap. You'll leave with a working understanding of skills and be ready for the final session in the series.
