| You can invoke **more than one skill in a single message**, and the skill slash command can appear anywhere in your prompt — not just at the beginning. This is handy when you want two different checks done in one go: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| > Check @samples/book-app-project/book_app.py with /code-checklist and also run /generate-tests for it | ||
|
|
||
| > Review the auth module /security-audit then /code-checklist the result | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Copilot will apply each named skill in the same response, saving you from sending multiple separate messages. |

What changed in Copilot CLI

#### Combining Multiple Skills in One Messagesubsection inside the existing Direct Slash Command Invocation section. It:book_app.pysample file with both/code-checklistand/generate-testsNo other chapters required changes — the existing slash command tables in Chapter 01 describe general command behavior that is still accurate.
