CopilotKit v1 to v2 Migration Skill

Live Documentation (MCP)

This plugin includes an MCP server (copilotkit-docs) that provides search-docs and search-code tools for querying live CopilotKit documentation and source code. Useful for looking up current v2 API signatures during migration.

• Claude Code: Auto-configured by the plugin's .mcp.json -- no setup needed.
• Codex: Requires manual configuration. See the copilotkit-debug skill for setup instructions.

Overview

CopilotKit v2 is a ground-up rewrite built on the AG-UI protocol (@ag-ui/client / @ag-ui/core). Users continue to install and import @copilotkit/* packages -- the v2 changes are exposed through the same package names with updated APIs (new hook names, component names, runtime configuration). The @copilotkit/* namespace is an internal implementation detail that users never interact with.
