# 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](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/set-up/install-copilot-cli))
2. **Language runtime**: Node.js 18+, Python 3.8+, Go 1.21+, or .NET 8.0+

Verify CLI: `copilot --version`

## Installation

### Node.js/TypeScript
```bash
mkdir copilot-demo && cd copilot-demo
npm init -y --init-type module
npm install @github/copilot-sdk tsx
```

### Python
```bash
pip install github-copilot-sdk
```

### Go
```bash
mkdir copilot-demo && cd copilot-demo
go mod init copilot-demo
go get github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go
```

### .NET
```bash
dotnet new console -n CopilotDemo && cd CopilotDemo
dotnet add package GitHub.Copilot.SDK
```

## Quick Start

### TypeScript
```typescript
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";

const client = new CopilotClient();
const session = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-4.1" });

const response = await session.sendAndWait({ prompt: "What is 2 + 2?" });
console.log(response?.data.content);

await client.stop();
process.exit(0);
```

Run: `npx tsx index.ts`

### Python
```python
import asyncio
from copilot import CopilotClient

async def main():
    client = CopilotClient()
    await client.start()

    session = await client.create_session({"model": "gpt-4.1"})
    response = await session.send_and_wait({"prompt": "What is 2 + 2?"})

    print(response.data.content)
    await client.stop()

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Go
```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "os"
    copilot "github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)

func main() {
