Copilot Sdk

If you're integrating GitHub Copilot's agent runtime into your own application instead of building orchestration from scratch, this skill covers the multi-language SDK that wraps the CLI over JSON-RPC. It walks through setup patterns (local, bundled, headless server), the deny-by-default permission model, session lifecycle with create/resume, streaming events, BYOK including Azure Managed Identity, and language-specific quirks across Node.js, Python, Go, .NET, and Java. The skill reminds Claude to check official docs first, avoid hardcoded model lists when runtime discovery exists, and watch for preview-era changes to permissions and event names. Useful if you're building desktop tools, backend services, or multi-tenant systems that need programmatic access to Copilot's reasoning.

GitHub Copilot SDK

Overview

The GitHub Copilot SDK exposes the same Copilot CLI agent runtime over JSON-RPC, so apps can drive Copilot programmatically instead of building their own orchestration layer.

Status: Public preview
SDKs: Node.js/TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java
Architecture: Application -> SDK client -> JSON-RPC -> Copilot CLI

How to use this skill

When helping with the Copilot SDK:

Prefer the official docs index and the language-specific README over memory.
Treat the top-level SDK README plus docs/ as the source of truth for shared behavior.
Call out preview status when stability or breaking changes matter.
Avoid hardcoding model lists when runtime discovery via listModels() is available.
Watch for stale guidance around permissions, lifecycle methods, and event names.
