Watch out for

• It can delete projects, repos and work items

  The references show delete commands for projects, repos, pipelines, teams, wikis, service connections and users, and a --destroy option that permanently deletes work items. Review each delete before approving. github.com

• It can change permissions

  The security reference covers changing group membership and permissions, which can lock people out or open access. Check who is affected before approving. github.com

• Your token sits on the command line

  The SKILL.md login example puts the PAT in the command. The workflows reference suggests an environment variable or piping it. Use a token with the fewest scopes you can. github.com

• The Linux install is a piped sudo script

  The prerequisites run a script from aka.ms through sudo bash. Read it, or install the Azure CLI another way. github.com

• Third-party content from a community collection

  The awesome-copilot README says its customizations come from third-party developers and asks you to inspect them before installing. Read the SKILL.md first. github.com
