| 12 | +The `seqera skill` command installs a skill file that enables [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot) to use Seqera AI as a subagent. Once installed, GitHub Copilot can invoke Seqera AI directly to manage workflows, build containers, query nf-core modules, and more without leaving your environment. |
