GitHub Copilot SDK

About GitHub Copilot SDK

GitHub Copilot SDK is a multi-platform software development kit designed to integrate the GitHub Copilot Agent into various apps and services. It allows developers to embed Copilot's workflows into their applications, and is available for Python, TypeScript, Go, and .NET. The SDK profiles the same engine that the Copilot CLI uses, providing a production-tested agent runtime which can be invoked programmatically. This negates the need to build your own orchestration system, as the SDK covers aspects such as planning, tool invocation, file edits and more. Usage of the SDK requires a GitHub Copilot subscription, with billing based on the same model as the Copilot CLI, counting each prompt towards your premium request quota. It also offers support for Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), allowing for the configuration of the SDK with your own API keys to access models through supported providers.
