SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps update the @github/copilot package safely by coordinating version upgrades, type definition comparisons, compilation checks, and test validation in a disciplined sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Package Upgrade Workflow: Captures a snapshot of existing Copilot type definitions, installs the latest package, and regenerates postinstall state.
  • Type Change Analysis: Compares old and new SDK definitions to document API changes, breaking changes, and new capabilities in upgrade notes.
  • Build and Test Remediation: Repeatedly compiles, fixes type or build issues, and runs unit tests until the upgrade is stable.
  • Use Case: A maintainer needs to move a project to the newest Copilot release while preserving compatibility and documenting the impact for the team.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely upgrade the @github/copilot package without breaking my project?▼

How do I fix TypeScript build regressions caused by a package upgrade?▼

Fix TypeScript build regressions from a package upgrade by repeatedly compiling the project, identifying type errors introduced by the new SDK definitions, and applying code remediation until the build passes.

Does the Copilot upgrade workflow support vscode-copilot-chat maintenance tasks?▼

The Copilot upgrade workflow directly supports vscode-copilot-chat maintenance tasks by executing postinstall scripts, tracking sequential TODOs, and verifying build validation and unit testing within that environment.

What should I do if unit tests fail after updating my Copilot package?▼

If unit tests fail after updating your Copilot package, run the build and test remediation cycle to fix type or build issues repeatedly until the upgrade is stable and tests pass.
