copilot-sdk
✓This skill provides guidance for creating agents and applications with the GitHub Copilot SDK. IMPORTANT - When using the SDK with TypeScript/Node.js, the project MUST use ESM (ECMAScript Modules). CommonJS (require/module.exports) is NOT supported. It should be used when the user wants to create, modify, or work on software that uses the GitHub Copilot SDK in TypeScript (ESM only), Python, Go, or .NET. The skill covers SDK usage patterns, ESM-based project configuration, CLI configuration, custom tools, MCP servers, and custom agents.
Installation
SKILL.md
The GitHub Copilot SDK is a multi-platform agent runtime that embeds Copilot's agentic workflows into applications. It exposes the same engine behind Copilot CLI, enabling programmatic invocation without requiring custom orchestration development.
| TypeScript/Node.js (ESM) | npm install @github/copilot-sdk | | Python | pip install github-copilot-sdk | | Go | go get github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go | | .NET | dotnet add package GitHub.Copilot.SDK |
The SDK manages CLI lifecycle automatically. External server connections supported via cliUrl / cliurl.
