Copilot Sdk

If you need to embed Copilot's agent runtime in your own application, this skill walks you through the GitHub Copilot SDK across Python, TypeScript, Go, and .NET. It covers the essentials: setting up sessions, streaming responses, and defining custom tools that Copilot can invoke during reasoning. The examples are practical, showing you how to build weather tools, handle real-time output, and manage permissions. What's nice is you get Copilot's production-tested orchestration engine without building your own agent infrastructure. The code samples work out of the box once you have Copilot CLI installed and authenticated.

Microsoft Copilot SDK

Embed Copilot's agentic workflows in any application using Python, TypeScript, Go, or .NET.

Overview

The Microsoft Copilot SDK is transitioning from the GitHub Copilot SDK. It is becoming the programmable interface for the Microsoft Copilot harness, the shared agent foundation used across Microsoft and GitHub products. This transition is happening in phases, and no immediate changes are required for existing users. Package names, namespaces, and some documentation may continue to use GitHub branding during the transition.

This guide keeps the currently published package names and imports in its examples. Follow the official transition announcement for migration updates.

The SDK provides a production-tested agent runtime you can invoke programmatically. You define agent behavior, while Copilot handles planning, tool invocation, file edits, and more.
