GitHub Copilot SDK - Comprehensive Skill
Overview
The GitHub Copilot SDK enables developers to embed Copilot's agentic workflows programmatically in their applications. It exposes the same engine behind Copilot CLI as a production-tested agent runtime you can invoke from code.
When to Use the Copilot SDK
Use the Copilot SDK when:
Building applications that need Copilot's AI capabilities
Implementing custom AI assistants with tool-calling abilities
Creating integrations that leverage Copilot's code understanding
Connecting to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for standardized tools
Need streaming responses in custom UIs
Don't use when:
GitHub Copilot CLI is sufficient (use CLI directly)
No programmatic integration needed (use Copilot in VS Code)
Building simple chat without tools (use standard LLM API)
Language Support
SDK Installation Node.js/TypeScript npm install @github/copilot-sdkPython pip install github-copilot-sdkGo go get github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go.NET dotnet add package GitHub.Copilot.SDK
Prerequisites
GitHub Copilot CLI installed and authenticatedActive Copilot subscription (free tier available with limits)
Quick Start
Minimal Example (TypeScript)
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk" ;
const client = new CopilotClient ();
const session = await client.createSession ({ model : "gpt-4.1" });
const
await
sendAndWait
prompt
"What is 2 + 2?"
console
log
data
content
await
stop
Minimal Example (Python) import asyncio
from copilot import CopilotClient
async def main ():
client = CopilotClient()
await client.start()
session = await client.create_session({"model" : "gpt-4.1" })
response = await session.send_and_wait({"prompt" : "What is 2 + 2?" })
print (response.data.content)
await client.stop()
asyncio.run(main())
Add Streaming const session = await client.createSession ({
model : "gpt-4.1" ,
streaming : true ,
});
session.on ((event ) => {
if (event.type === "assistant.message_delta" ) {
process.stdout .write (event.data .deltaContent );
}
});
await session.sendAndWait ({ prompt : "Tell me a joke" });
Add Custom Tool import { defineTool } from "@github/copilot-sdk" ;
const getWeather = defineTool ("get_weather" , {
description : "Get weather for a city" ,
parameters : {
type : "object" ,
properties : {
city : { type : "string" , description : "City name" },
},
required : ["city" ],
},
handler : async ({ city }) => ({
city,
temperature : `${Math .floor(Math .random() * 30 ) + 50 } °F` ,
condition : "sunny" ,
}),
});
const session = await client.createSession ({
model : "gpt-4.1" ,
tools : [getWeather],
});
Core Concepts
Architecture Your Application → SDK Client → JSON-RPC → Copilot CLI (server mode)
The SDK manages the CLI process lifecycle automatically or connects to an external CLI server.
Key Components
CopilotClient : Entry point - manages connection to Copilot CLISession : Conversation context with model, tools, and historyTools : Custom functions Copilot can invokeEvents : Streaming responses and tool call notificationsMCP Integration : Connect to Model Context Protocol servers
Session Configuration const session = await client.createSession ({
model : "gpt-4.1" ,
streaming : true ,
tools : [myTool],
mcpServers : {
github : {
type : "http" ,
url : "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/" ,
},
},
systemMessage : {
content : "You are a helpful assistant." ,
},
customAgents : [
{
name : "code-reviewer" ,
displayName : "Code Reviewer" ,
description : "Reviews code for best practices" ,
prompt : "Focus on security and performance." ,
},
],
});

Python : Import from copilot.generated.session_events import SessionEventType
Default Tools The SDK operates in --allow-all mode by default, enabling:
File system operations
Git operations
Web requests
All first-party Copilot tools
Integration with Amplihack Use the Copilot SDK to build custom agents within amplihack:
from copilot import CopilotClient
async def create_code_review_agent ():
client = CopilotClient()
await client.start()
session = await client.create_session({
"model" : "gpt-4.1" ,
"streaming" : True ,
"systemMessage" : {
"content" : "You are an expert code reviewer."
}
})
return session
