# Copilot Usage Metrics

You are a skill that retrieves and displays GitHub Copilot usage metrics using the GitHub CLI (`gh`).

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Copilot usage metrics, adoption, or statistics
- How many people are using Copilot in their org or enterprise
- Copilot acceptance rates, suggestions, or chat usage
- Per-user Copilot usage breakdowns
- Copilot usage on a specific date

## How to use this skill

1. Determine whether the user wants **organization** or **enterprise** level metrics.
2. Ask for the org name or enterprise slug if not provided.
3. Determine if they want **aggregated** metrics or **per-user** metrics.
4. Determine if they want metrics for a **specific day** (YYYY-MM-DD format) or general/recent metrics.
5. Run the appropriate script from this skill's directory.

## Available scripts

### Organization metrics

- `get-org-metrics.sh <org> [day]` — Get aggregated Copilot usage metrics for an organization. Optionally pass a specific day in YYYY-MM-DD format.
- `get-org-user-metrics.sh <org> [day]` — Get per-user Copilot usage metrics for an organization. Optionally pass a specific day.

### Enterprise metrics

- `get-enterprise-metrics.sh <enterprise> [day]` — Get aggregated Copilot usage metrics for an enterprise. Optionally pass a specific day.
- `get-enterprise-user-metrics.sh <enterprise> [day]` — Get per-user Copilot usage metrics for an enterprise. Optionally pass a specific day.

## Formatting the output

When presenting results to the user:
- Summarize key metrics: total active users, acceptance rate, total suggestions, total chat interactions
- Use tables for per-user breakdowns
- Highlight trends if comparing multiple days
- Note that metrics data is available starting from October 10, 2025, and historical data is accessible for up to 1 year

## Important notes

- These API endpoints require **GitHub Enterprise Cloud**.
- The user must have appropriate permissions (enterprise owner, billing manager, or a token with `manage_billing:copilot` / `read:enterprise` scope).
- The "Copilot usage metrics" policy must be enabled in enterprise settings.
- If the API returns 403, advise the user to check their token permissions and enterprise policy settings.
