GitHub Copilot SDK

Embed Copilot's agentic workflows in any application using Python, TypeScript, Go, or .NET.

Overview

The GitHub Copilot SDK exposes the same engine behind Copilot CLI: a production-tested agent runtime you can invoke programmatically. No need to build your own orchestration - you define agent behavior, Copilot handles planning, tool invocation, file edits, and more.

Prerequisites

1. GitHub Copilot CLI installed and authenticated (Installation guide)
2. Language runtime: Node.js 18+, Python 3.8+, Go 1.21+, or .NET 8.0+

Verify CLI: copilot --version
