SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

CopilotKit v1 applications break when upgraded because v2 introduces a rewritten architecture, renamed APIs, and a different runtime protocol.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • V1-to-V2 API Mapping: Identify and replace deprecated hooks, components, and provider usage (including GraphQL runtime to AG-UI protocol runtime changes).
  • Runtime & Package Migration Guidance: Update dependencies and rework runtime initialization from service-adapter/action patterns to v2 agent-based configuration.
  • Migration Workflow for Real Projects: Follow an audit-and-replace process to resolve breaking changes across Next.js/Express-style endpoints and tool rendering.

Quick Start

Migrate your CopilotKit v1 codebase by scanning for v1 imports and then applying the v2 replacements for hooks, provider, runtime setup, and endpoint creation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate CopilotKit v1 to the v2 agent-based architecture?

Migrate CopilotKit v1 to v2 by scanning your codebase for deprecated imports, then replacing v1 hooks, providers, and runtime configurations with v2 agent-based APIs. Update dependencies and verify tool rendering, suggestions, and chat interactions behave correctly.

Why does CopilotKit break when upgrading to v2?

CopilotKit breaks during a v2 upgrade because v2 introduces a rewritten architecture, renamed APIs, and shifts the backend runtime protocol from GraphQL to the AG-UI protocol. Resolving these breaking changes requires a systematic audit and replacement of deprecated APIs.

How do I update CopilotKit runtime from GraphQL to the AG-UI protocol?

Update the CopilotKit runtime by reworking runtime initialization from v1 service-adapter and action patterns to v2 agent-based configuration. This backend runtime migration transitions the endpoint setup from GraphQL to the AG-UI protocol for Next.js or Express frameworks.

What React hooks and components need changes for CopilotKit v2?

React UI migrations for CopilotKit v2 require updating provider configurations and replacing deprecated v1 hooks and components. You must identify all current v1 usage and apply the v2 API mappings to ensure tool rendering, chat interactions, and interrupts function correctly.

Can I migrate CopilotKit v1 endpoints for Next.js and Express to v2?

Yes, you can migrate CopilotKit v1 endpoints for Next.js and Express server frameworks to v2. The migration workflow guides you through an audit-and-replace process to resolve breaking endpoint changes and transition runtime initialization to the v2 agent-based configuration.

What are the limitations when upgrading CopilotKit to v2?

Upgrading CopilotKit to v2 requires a complete inventory of v1 usage to address breaking API changes safely. You must systematically replace deprecated APIs and verify that tool rendering, suggestions, chat interactions, and interrupts all behave correctly in the new architecture.
