Getting Started with Copilot Skills in SharePoint: Reusable AI Workflows Without Code
Copilot in SharePoint is getting an interesting new capability: custom Skills. Instead of relying only on one-off prompts, Skills let us define reusable, multi-step instructions that Copilot can apply to common business processes within a SharePoint site. Some of the key capabilities I find particularly interesting: ✅ Create Skills using natural language ✅ Turn repeatable business processes into reusable AI instructions ✅ Store Skills as SKILL.md files in the site's Agent Assets library ✅ Allow Copilot to automatically select a relevant Skill based on the user's request, or invoke a Skill explicitly by name ✅ Reuse native Copilot in SharePoint capabilities for working with content, lists, files and folders ✅ Continue respecting existing SharePoint permissions From an administration and governance perspective, there are also some important considerations. Skills are stored under: /Agent Assets/Skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md By default, users with Edit permissions on the site can create Skills, while standard SharePoint permissions and governance controls continue to apply. Skills also don't provide a way to execute custom code or connect directly to external systems. 💡 Why I think this is interesting For me, the real value isn't simply creating another AI prompt. It's the possibility of taking a process that an organization performs repeatedly and turning the instructions for that process into something reusable. For example: 📄 Reviewing documents against organizational standards 📋 Running repeatable document-review processes 📁 Organizing SharePoint content 🔄 Standardizing common Copilot workflows across a site 🎥 I created a hands-on video where I explore how Copilot Skills in SharePoint work, how a Skill is created, where it is stored, and some of the governance considerations administrators should be aware of. Watch the walkthrough here: 👉 https://youtu.be/TO8CyeC5fO0 Official Microsoft documentation: 👉 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/copilot-in-sharepoint-skills I'm particularly interested in how the Microsoft 365 community plans to use this capability. 💬 What business process would you turn into your first SharePoint Copilot Skill? I'd love to hear your ideas and use cases in the comments.Copilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community call
