In general, copilot isn't good at modifying itself. I asked it to find and install matt pocock's grill-me skill and it failed hard - digging through the copilot SDK typescript interface files for skillDirectories, then grepped the github runtime libraries in /Applications/Github Copilot/ before falling back to searching the internet again, finding https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/about-agent-skills and discovering that skills live in .copilot/skills. This all took about 7 minutes with Opus 4.8 on Max.
GH Copilot should have its own self-referential skills for updating its own skills and settings
