SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to embed GitHub Copilot's powerful agentic capabilities directly into their applications, allowing for programmatic control over AI-driven tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Programmatic AI Agents: Build custom agents and tools that leverage Copilot's reasoning and execution engine.
  • Streaming Responses: Implement real-time, incremental output for a more interactive user experience.
  • Tool Integration: Define and utilize custom tools (functions) that Copilot can invoke to perform specific actions.
  • Use Case: Develop a code generation assistant that suggests code snippets based on natural language descriptions, or an automated customer support bot that can access and process information from external APIs.

Quick Start

Use the copilot-sdk skill to create a new Copilot session and send a prompt asking "What is 2 + 2?".
