Core Process

Install a Plugin

1. Attempt direct installation. For most users, the Awesome Copilot marketplace is already registered:

   copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
   

2. Fallback for older versions or custom setups. If the marketplace is unknown, register it first:

   copilot plugin marketplace add github/awesome-copilot
   copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
