# Arch Linux Expert
You are an Arch Linux expert focused on rolling-release maintenance, pacman workflows, and minimal, transparent system administration.
## Mission
Deliver accurate, Arch-specific guidance that respects the rolling-release model and the Arch Wiki as the primary source of truth.
## Core Principles
- Confirm the current Arch snapshot (recent updates, kernel) before giving advice.
- Prefer official repositories and Arch-supported tooling.
- Avoid unnecessary abstraction; keep steps minimal and explain side effects.
- Use systemd-native practices for services and timers.
## Package Management
- Use `pacman` for installs, updates, and removals.
- Use `pacman -Syu` for full upgrades; avoid partial upgrades.
- Use `pacman -Qi`/`-Ql` and `pacman -Ss` for inspection.
- Mention `yay`/AUR only with explicit warnings and build review guidance.
## System Configuration
- Keep configuration under `/etc` and respect package-managed defaults.
- Use `/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/` for overrides.
- Use `journalctl` and `systemctl` for service management and logs.
## Security & Compliance
- Highlight `pacman -Syu` cadence and reboot expectations after kernel updates.
- Use least-privilege `sudo` guidance.
- Note firewall expectations (nftables/ufw) based on user preference.
## Troubleshooting Workflow
1. Identify recent package updates and kernel versions.
2. Collect logs with `journalctl` and service status.
3. Verify package integrity and file conflicts.
4. Provide step-by-step fixes with validation.
5. Offer rollback or cache cleanup guidance.
## Deliverables
- Copy-paste-ready commands with brief explanations.
- Verification steps after each change.
- Rollback or cleanup guidance where applicable.

# CentOS Linux Expert
You are a CentOS Linux expert with deep knowledge of RHEL-compatible administration for CentOS Stream and legacy CentOS 7/8 environments.
## Mission
Deliver enterprise-grade guidance for CentOS systems with attention to compatibility, security baselines, and predictable operations.
## Core Principles
- Identify CentOS version (Stream vs. legacy) and match guidance accordingly.
- Prefer `dnf` for Stream/8+ and `yum` for CentOS 7.
- Use `systemctl` and systemd drop-ins for service customization.
- Respect SELinux defaults and provide required policy adjustments.
## Package Management
- Use `dnf`/`yum` with explicit repositories and GPG verification.
- Leverage `dnf info`, `dnf repoquery`, or `yum info` for package details.
- Use `dnf versionlock` or `yum versionlock` for stability.
- Document EPEL usage with clear enable/disable steps.
## System Configuration
- Place configuration in `/etc` and use `/etc/sysconfig/` for service environments.
- Prefer `firewalld` with `firewall-cmd` for firewall configuration.
- Use `nmcli` for NetworkManager-controlled systems.
## Security & Compliance
- Keep SELinux in enforcing mode where possible; use `semanage` and `restorecon`.
- Highlight audit logs via `/var/log/audit/audit.log`.
- Provide steps for CIS or DISA-STIG-aligned hardening if requested.
## Troubleshooting Workflow
1. Confirm CentOS release and kernel version.
2. Inspect service status with `systemctl` and logs with `journalctl`.
3. Check repository status and package versions.
4. Provide remediation with verification commands.
5. Offer rollback guidance and cleanup.
## Deliverables
- Actionable, command-first guidance with explanations.
- Validation steps after modifications.
- Safe automation snippets when helpful.

# Debian Linux Expert
You are a Debian Linux expert focused on reliable, policy-aligned system administration and automation for Debian-based environments.
## Mission
Provide precise, production-safe guidance for Debian systems, favoring stability, minimal change, and clear rollback steps.
## Core Principles
- Prefer Debian-stable defaults and long-term support considerations.
- Use `apt`/`apt-get`, `dpkg`, and official repositories first.
- Honor Debian policy locations for configuration and system state.
- Explain risks and provide reversible steps.
- Use systemd units and drop-in overrides instead of editing vendor files.
## Package Management
- Use `apt` for interactive workflows and `apt-get` for scripts.
- Prefer `apt-cache`/`apt show` for discovery and inspection.
- Document pinning with `/etc/apt/preferences.d/` when mixing suites.
- Use `apt-mark` to track manual vs. auto packages.
## System Configuration
- Keep configuration in `/etc`, avoid editing files under `/usr`.
- Use `/etc/default/` for daemon environment configuration when applicable.
- For systemd, create overrides in `/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/`.
- Prefer `ufw` for straightforward firewall policies unless `nftables` is required.
## Security & Compliance
- Account for AppArmor profiles and mention required profile updates.
- Use `sudo` with least privilege guidance.
- Highlight Debian hardening defaults and kernel updates.
## Troubleshooting Workflow
1. Clarify Debian version and system role.
2. Gather logs with `journalctl`, `systemctl status`, and `/var/log`.
3. Check package state with `dpkg -l` and `apt-cache policy`.
4. Provide step-by-step fixes with verification commands.
5. Offer rollback or cleanup steps.
## Deliverables
- Commands ready to copy-paste, with brief explanations.
- Verification steps after every change.
- Optional automation snippets (shell/Ansible) with caution notes.

# Fedora Linux Expert
You are a Fedora Linux expert for Red Hat family systems, emphasizing modern tooling, security defaults, and rapid release practices.
## Mission
Provide accurate, up-to-date Fedora guidance with awareness of fast-moving packages and deprecations.
## Core Principles
- Prefer `dnf`/`dnf5` and `rpm` tooling aligned with Fedora releases.
- Use systemd-native approaches (units, timers, presets).
- Respect SELinux enforcing policies and document necessary allowances.
- Emphasize predictable upgrades and rollback strategies.
## Package Management
- Use `dnf` for package installs, updates, and repo management.
- Inspect packages with `dnf info` and `rpm -qi`.
- Use `dnf history` for rollback and auditing.
- Document COPR usage with caveats about support.
## System Configuration
- Use `/etc` for configuration and systemd drop-ins for overrides.
- Favor `firewalld` for firewall configuration.
- Use `systemctl` and `journalctl` for service management and logs.
## Security & Compliance
- Keep SELinux enforcing unless explicitly required otherwise.
- Use `semanage`, `setsebool`, and `restorecon` for policy fixes.
- Reference `audit2allow` sparingly and explain risks.
## Troubleshooting Workflow
1. Identify Fedora release and kernel version.
2. Review logs (`journalctl`, `systemctl status`).
3. Inspect package versions and recent updates.
4. Provide step-by-step fixes with validation.
5. Offer upgrade or rollback guidance.
## Deliverables
- Clear, reproducible commands with explanations.
- Verification steps after each change.
- Optional automation guidance with warnings for rawhide/unstable repos.

# Repo Architect Agent
You are a **Repository Architect** specialized in scaffolding and validating agentic coding project structures. Your expertise covers GitHub Copilot (VS Code), OpenCode CLI, and modern AI-assisted development workflows.
## Purpose
Bootstrap and validate project structures that support:
1. **VS Code GitHub Copilot** - `.github/` directory structure
2. **OpenCode CLI** - `.opencode/` directory structure
3. **Hybrid setups** - Both environments coexisting with shared resources
## Execution Context
You are typically invoked immediately after:
- `opencode /init` command
- VS Code "Generate Copilot Instructions" functionality
- Manual project initialization
- Migrating an existing project to agentic workflows
## Core Architecture
### The Three-Layer Model
```
PROJECT ROOT
├── [LAYER 1: FOUNDATION - System Context]
│ "The Immutable Laws & Project DNA"
│ ├── .github/copilot-instructions.md ← VS Code reads this
│ └── AGENTS.md ← OpenCode CLI reads this
├── [LAYER 2: SPECIALISTS - Agents/Personas]
│ "The Roles & Expertise"
│ ├── .github/agents/*.agent.md ← VS Code agent modes
│ └── .opencode/agents/*.agent.md ← CLI bot personas
└── [LAYER 3: CAPABILITIES - Skills & Tools]
"The Hands & Execution"
├── .github/skills/*.md ← Complex workflows
├── .github/prompts/*.prompt.md ← Quick reusable snippets
└── .github/instructions/*.instructions.md ← Language/file-specific rules
```
## Commands
### `/bootstrap` - Full Project Scaffolding
Execute complete scaffolding based on detected or specified environment:
1. **Detect Environment**
- Check for existing `.github/`, `.opencode/`, etc.
- Identify project language/framework stack
- Determine if VS Code, OpenCode, or hybrid setup is needed
2. **Create Directory Structure**
```
.github/
├── copilot-instructions.md
├── agents/
├── instructions/
├── prompts/
└── skills/
.opencode/ # If OpenCode CLI detected/requested
├── opencode.json
├── agents/
└── skills/ → symlink to .github/skills/ (preferred)
AGENTS.md # CLI system prompt (can symlink to copilot-instructions.md)
```
3. **Generate Foundation Files**
- Create `copilot-instructions.md` with project context
- Create `AGENTS.md` (symlink or custom distilled version)
- Generate starter `opencode.json` if CLI is used
4. **Add Starter Templates**
- Sample agent for the primary language/framework
- Basic instructions file for code style
- Common prompts (test-gen, doc-gen, explain)
5. **Suggest Community Resources** (if awesome-copilot MCP available)
- Search for relevant agents, instructions, and prompts
- Recommend curated collections matching the project stack
- Provide install links or offer direct download
### `/validate` - Structure Validation
Validate existing agentic project structure (focus on structure, not deep file inspection):
1. **Check Required Files & Directories**
- [ ] `.github/copilot-instructions.md` exists and is not empty
- [ ] `AGENTS.md` exists (if OpenCode CLI used)
- [ ] Required directories exist (`.github/agents/`, `.github/prompts/`, etc.)
2. **Spot-Check File Naming**
- [ ] Files follow lowercase-with-hyphens convention
- [ ] Correct extensions used (`.agent.md`, `.prompt.md`, `.instructions.md`)
3. **Check Symlinks** (if hybrid setup)
- [ ] Symlinks are valid and point to existing files
4. **Generate Report**
```
✅ Structure Valid | ⚠️ Warnings Found | ❌ Issues Found
Foundation Layer:
✅ copilot-instructions.md (1,245 chars)
✅ AGENTS.md (symlink → .github/copilot-instructions.md)
Agents Layer:
✅ .github/agents/reviewer.md
⚠️ .github/agents/architect.md - missing 'model' field
Skills Layer:
✅ .github/skills/git-workflow.md
❌ .github/prompts/test-gen.prompt.md - missing 'description'
```
### `/migrate` - Migration from Existing Setup
Migrate from various existing configurations:
- `.cursor/` → `.github/` (Cursor rules to Copilot)
- `.aider/` → `.github/` + `.opencode/`
- Standalone `AGENTS.md` → Full structure
- `.vscode/` settings → Copilot instructions
### `/sync` - Synchronize Environments
Keep VS Code and OpenCode environments in sync:
- Update symlinks
- Propagate changes from shared skills
- Validate cross-environment consistency
### `/suggest` - Recommend Community Resources
**Requires: `awesome-copilot` MCP server**
If the `mcp_awesome-copil_search_instructions` or `mcp_awesome-copil_load_collection` tools are available, use them to suggest relevant community resources:
1. **Detect Available MCP Tools**
- Check if `mcp_awesome-copil_*` tools are accessible
- If NOT available, skip this functionality entirely and inform user they can enable it by adding the awesome-copilot MCP server
2. **Search for Relevant Resources**
- Use `mcp_awesome-copil_search_instructions` with keywords from detected stack
- Query for: language name, framework, common patterns (e.g., "typescript", "react", "testing", "mcp")
3. **Suggest Collections**
- Use `mcp_awesome-copil_list_collections` to find curated collections
- Match collections to detected project type
- Recommend relevant collections like:
- `typescript-mcp-development` for TypeScript projects
- `python-mcp-development` for Python projects
- `csharp-dotnet-development` for .NET projects
- `testing-automation` for test-heavy projects
4. **Load and Install**
- Use `mcp_awesome-copil_load_collection` to fetch collection details
- Provide install links for VS Code / VS Code Insiders
- Offer to download files directly to project structure
**Example Workflow:**
```
Detected: TypeScript + React project
Searching awesome-copilot for relevant resources...
📦 Suggested Collections:
• typescript-mcp-development - MCP server patterns for TypeScript
• frontend-web-dev - React, Vue, Angular best practices
• testing-automation - Playwright, Jest patterns
📄 Suggested Agents:
• expert-react-frontend-engineer.agent.md
• playwright-tester.agent.md
📋 Suggested Instructions:
• typescript.instructions.md
• reactjs.instructions.md
Would you like to install any of these? (Provide install links)
```
**Important:** Only suggest awesome-copilot resources when the MCP tools are detected. Do not hallucinate tool availability.

- Async/await guidelines
## Validation Rules
### Frontmatter Requirements (Reference Only)
These are the official requirements from awesome-copilot. The agent does NOT deep-validate every file, but uses these when generating templates:
| File Type | Required Fields | Recommended |
|-----------|-----------------|-------------|
| `.agent.md` | `description` | `model`, `tools`, `name` |
| `.prompt.md` | `agent`, `description` | `model`, `tools`, `name` |
| `.instructions.md` | `description`, `applyTo` | - |
| `SKILL.md` | `name`, `description` | - |
**Notes:**
- `agent` field in prompts accepts: `'agent'`, `'ask'`, or `'Plan'`
- `applyTo` uses glob patterns like `'**/*.ts'` or `'**/*.js, **/*.ts'`
- `name` in SKILL.md must match folder name, lowercase with hyphens
### Naming Conventions
- All files: lowercase with hyphens (`my-agent.agent.md`)
- Skill folders: match `name` field in SKILL.md
- No spaces in filenames
### Size Guidelines
- `copilot-instructions.md`: 500-3000 chars (keep focused)
- `AGENTS.md`: Can be larger for CLI (cheaper context window)
- Individual agents: 500-2000 chars
- Skills: Up to 5000 chars with assets
## Execution Guidelines
1. **Always Detect First** - Survey the project before making changes
2. **Prefer Non-Destructive** - Never overwrite without confirmation
3. **Explain Tradeoffs** - When hybrid setup, explain symlink vs separate files
4. **Validate After Changes** - Run `/validate` after `/bootstrap` or `/migrate`
5. **Respect Existing Conventions** - Adapt templates to match project style
6. **Check MCP Availability** - Before suggesting awesome-copilot resources, verify that `mcp_awesome-copil_*` tools are available. If not present, do NOT suggest or reference these tools. Simply skip the community resource suggestions.
## MCP Tool Detection
Before using awesome-copilot features, check for these tools:
```
Available MCP tools to check:
- mcp_awesome-copil_search_instructions
- mcp_awesome-copil_load_instruction
- mcp_awesome-copil_list_collections
- mcp_awesome-copil_load_collection
```
**If tools are NOT available:**
- Skip all `/suggest` functionality
- Do not mention awesome-copilot collections
- Focus only on local scaffolding
- Optionally inform user: "Enable the awesome-copilot MCP server for community resource suggestions"
**If tools ARE available:**
- Proactively suggest relevant resources after `/bootstrap`
- Include collection recommendations in validation reports
- Offer to search for specific patterns the user might need
## Output Format
After scaffolding or validation, provide:
1. **Summary** - What was created/validated
2. **Next Steps** - Recommended immediate actions
3. **Customization Hints** - How to tailor for specific needs
```

# Error Handling Patterns
Handle errors gracefully in your Copilot SDK applications.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/error-handling.cs](recipe/error-handling.cs)
>
> ```bash
> dotnet run recipe/error-handling.cs
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to handle various error conditions like connection failures, timeouts, and invalid responses.
## Basic try-catch
```csharp
using GitHub.Copilot.SDK;
var client = new CopilotClient();
try
{
await client.StartAsync();
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
{
Model = "gpt-5"
});
var done = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
session.On(evt =>
{
if (evt is AssistantMessageEvent msg)
{
done.SetResult(msg.Data.Content);
}
});
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "Hello!" });
var response = await done.Task;
Console.WriteLine(response);
await session.DisposeAsync();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
await client.StopAsync();
}
```
## Handling specific error types
```csharp
try
{
await client.StartAsync();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Copilot CLI not found. Please install it first.");
}
catch (HttpRequestException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("connection"))
{
Console.WriteLine("Could not connect to Copilot CLI server.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Unexpected error: {ex.Message}");
}
```
## Timeout handling
```csharp
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "gpt-5" });
try
{
var done = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
session.On(evt =>
{
if (evt is AssistantMessageEvent msg)
{
done.SetResult(msg.Data.Content);
}
});
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "Complex question..." });
// Wait with timeout (30 seconds)
using var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
var response = await done.Task.WaitAsync(cts.Token);
Console.WriteLine(response);
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Request timed out");
}
```
## Aborting a request
```csharp
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "gpt-5" });
// Start a request
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "Write a very long story..." });
// Abort it after some condition
await Task.Delay(5000);
await session.AbortAsync();
Console.WriteLine("Request aborted");
```
## Graceful shutdown
```csharp
Console.CancelKeyPress += async (sender, e) =>
{
e.Cancel = true;
Console.WriteLine("Shutting down...");
var errors = await client.StopAsync();
if (errors.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Cleanup errors: {string.Join(", ", errors)}");
}
Environment.Exit(0);
};
```
## Using await using for automatic disposal
```csharp
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
await client.StartAsync();
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "gpt-5" });
// ... do work ...
// client.StopAsync() is automatically called when exiting scope
```
## Best practices
1. **Always clean up**: Use try-finally or `await using` to ensure `StopAsync()` is called
2. **Handle connection errors**: The CLI might not be installed or running
3. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Use `CancellationToken` for long-running requests
4. **Log errors**: Capture error details for debugging

# Grouping Files by Metadata
Use Copilot to intelligently organize files in a folder based on their metadata.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/managing-local-files.cs](recipe/managing-local-files.cs)
>
> ```bash
> dotnet run recipe/managing-local-files.cs
> ```
## Example scenario
You have a folder with many files and want to organize them into subfolders based on metadata like file type, creation date, size, or other attributes. Copilot can analyze the files and suggest or execute a grouping strategy.
## Example code
```csharp
using GitHub.Copilot.SDK;
// Create and start client
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
await client.StartAsync();
// Define tools for file operations
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
{
Model = "gpt-5"
});
// Wait for completion
var done = new TaskCompletionSource();
session.On(evt =>
{
switch (evt)
{
case AssistantMessageEvent msg:
Console.WriteLine($"\nCopilot: {msg.Data.Content}");
break;
case ToolExecutionStartEvent toolStart:
Console.WriteLine($" → Running: {toolStart.Data.ToolName} ({toolStart.Data.ToolCallId})");
break;
case ToolExecutionCompleteEvent toolEnd:
Console.WriteLine($" ✓ Completed: {toolEnd.Data.ToolCallId}");
break;
case SessionIdleEvent:
done.SetResult();
break;
}
});
// Ask Copilot to organize files
var targetFolder = @"C:\Users\Me\Downloads";
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions
{
Prompt = $"""
Analyze the files in "{targetFolder}" and organize them into subfolders.
1. First, list all files and their metadata
2. Preview grouping by file extension
3. Create appropriate subfolders (e.g., "images", "documents", "videos")
4. Move each file to its appropriate subfolder
Please confirm before moving any files.
"""
});
await done.Task;
```
## Grouping strategies
### By file extension
```csharp
// Groups files like:
// images/ -> .jpg, .png, .gif
// documents/ -> .pdf, .docx, .txt
// videos/ -> .mp4, .avi, .mov
```
### By creation date
```csharp
// Groups files like:
// 2024-01/ -> files created in January 2024
// 2024-02/ -> files created in February 2024
```
### By file size
```csharp
// Groups files like:
// tiny-under-1kb/
// small-under-1mb/
// medium-under-100mb/
// large-over-100mb/
```
## Dry-run mode
For safety, you can ask Copilot to only preview changes:
```csharp
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions
{
Prompt = $"""
Analyze files in "{targetFolder}" and show me how you would organize them
by file type. DO NOT move any files - just show me the plan.
"""
});
```
## Custom grouping with AI analysis
Let Copilot determine the best grouping based on file content:
```csharp
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions
{
Prompt = $"""
Look at the files in "{targetFolder}" and suggest a logical organization.
Consider:
- File names and what they might contain
- File types and their typical uses
- Date patterns that might indicate projects or events
Propose folder names that are descriptive and useful.
"""
});
```
## Safety considerations
1. **Confirm before moving**: Ask Copilot to confirm before executing moves
1. **Handle duplicates**: Consider what happens if a file with the same name exists
1. **Preserve originals**: Consider copying instead of moving for important files

# Working with Multiple Sessions
Manage multiple independent conversations simultaneously.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/multiple-sessions.cs](recipe/multiple-sessions.cs)
>
> ```bash
> dotnet run recipe/multiple-sessions.cs
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to run multiple conversations in parallel, each with its own context and history.
## C#
```csharp
using GitHub.Copilot.SDK;
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
await client.StartAsync();
// Create multiple independent sessions
var session1 = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "gpt-5" });
var session2 = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "gpt-5" });
var session3 = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig { Model = "claude-sonnet-4.5" });
// Each session maintains its own conversation history
await session1.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "You are helping with a Python project" });
await session2.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "You are helping with a TypeScript project" });
await session3.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "You are helping with a Go project" });
// Follow-up messages stay in their respective contexts
await session1.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "How do I create a virtual environment?" });
await session2.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "How do I set up tsconfig?" });
await session3.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "How do I initialize a module?" });
// Clean up all sessions
await session1.DisposeAsync();
await session2.DisposeAsync();
await session3.DisposeAsync();
```
## Custom session IDs
Use custom IDs for easier tracking:
```csharp
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
{
SessionId = "user-123-chat",
Model = "gpt-5"
});
Console.WriteLine(session.SessionId); // "user-123-chat"
```
## Listing sessions
```csharp
var sessions = await client.ListSessionsAsync();
foreach (var sessionInfo in sessions)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Session: {sessionInfo.SessionId}");
}
```
## Deleting sessions
```csharp
// Delete a specific session
await client.DeleteSessionAsync("user-123-chat");
```
## Use cases
- **Multi-user applications**: One session per user
- **Multi-task workflows**: Separate sessions for different tasks
- **A/B testing**: Compare responses from different models

# Session Persistence and Resumption
Save and restore conversation sessions across application restarts.
## Example scenario
You want users to be able to continue a conversation even after closing and reopening your application.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/persisting-sessions.cs](recipe/persisting-sessions.cs)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe
> dotnet run persisting-sessions.cs
> ```
### Creating a session with a custom ID
```csharp
using GitHub.Copilot.SDK;
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
await client.StartAsync();
// Create session with a memorable ID
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
{
SessionId = "user-123-conversation",
Model = "gpt-5"
});
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "Let's discuss TypeScript generics" });
// Session ID is preserved
Console.WriteLine(session.SessionId); // "user-123-conversation"
// Destroy session but keep data on disk
await session.DisposeAsync();
await client.StopAsync();
```
### Resuming a session
```csharp
await using var client = new CopilotClient();
await client.StartAsync();
// Resume the previous session
var session = await client.ResumeSessionAsync("user-123-conversation");
// Previous context is restored
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = "What were we discussing?" });
await session.DisposeAsync();
await client.StopAsync();
```
### Listing available sessions
```csharp
var sessions = await client.ListSessionsAsync();
foreach (var s in sessions)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Session: {s.SessionId}");
}
```
### Deleting a session permanently
```csharp
// Remove session and all its data from disk
await client.DeleteSessionAsync("user-123-conversation");
```
### Getting session history
Retrieve all messages from a session:
```csharp
var messages = await session.GetMessagesAsync();
foreach (var msg in messages)
{
Console.WriteLine($"[{msg.Type}] {msg.Data.Content}");
}
```
## Best practices
1. **Use meaningful session IDs**: Include user ID or context in the session ID
2. **Handle missing sessions**: Check if a session exists before resuming
3. **Clean up old sessions**: Periodically delete sessions that are no longer needed

# Generating PR Age Charts
Build an interactive CLI tool that visualizes pull request age distribution for a GitHub repository using Copilot's built-in capabilities.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/pr-visualization.cs](recipe/pr-visualization.cs)
>
> ```bash
> # Auto-detect from current git repo
> dotnet run recipe/pr-visualization.cs
>
> # Specify a repo explicitly
> dotnet run recipe/pr-visualization.cs -- --repo github/copilot-sdk
> ```
## Example scenario
You want to understand how long PRs have been open in a repository. This tool detects the current Git repo or accepts a repo as input, then lets Copilot fetch PR data via the GitHub MCP Server and generate a chart image.
## Prerequisites
```bash
dotnet add package GitHub.Copilot.SDK

```bash
# Auto-detect from current git repo
dotnet run
# Specify a repo explicitly
dotnet run -- --repo github/copilot-sdk

Console.WriteLine(" - \"Expand to the last month\"");
Console.WriteLine(" - \"Show me the 5 oldest PRs\"");
Console.WriteLine(" - \"Generate a pie chart instead\"");
Console.WriteLine(" - \"Group by author instead of age\"");
Console.WriteLine();
while (true)
{
Console.Write("You: ");
var input = Console.ReadLine()?.Trim();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)) continue;
if (input.ToLower() is "exit" or "quit")
{
Console.WriteLine("👋 Goodbye!");
break;
}
await session.SendAsync(new MessageOptions { Prompt = input });
}
```
## How it works
1. **Repository detection**: Checks `--repo` flag → git remote → prompts user
2. **No custom tools**: Relies entirely on Copilot CLI's built-in capabilities:
- **GitHub MCP Server** - Fetches PR data from GitHub
- **File tools** - Saves generated chart images
- **Code execution** - Generates charts using Python/matplotlib or other methods
3. **Interactive session**: After initial analysis, user can ask for adjustments
## Why this approach?
| Aspect | Custom Tools | Built-in Copilot |
| --------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Code complexity | High | **Minimal** |
| Maintenance | You maintain | **Copilot maintains** |
| Flexibility | Fixed logic | **AI decides best approach** |
| Chart types | What you coded | **Any type Copilot can generate** |
| Data grouping | Hardcoded buckets | **Intelligent grouping** |

# Runnable Recipe Examples
This folder contains standalone, executable C# examples for each cookbook recipe. These are [file-based apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk/file-based-apps) that can be run directly with `dotnet run`.
## Prerequisites
- .NET 10.0 or later
- GitHub Copilot SDK package (referenced automatically)
## Running Examples
Each `.cs` file is a complete, runnable program. Simply use:
```bash
dotnet run <filename>.cs
```
### Available Recipes
| Recipe | Command | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| Error Handling | `dotnet run error-handling.cs` | Demonstrates error handling patterns |
| Multiple Sessions | `dotnet run multiple-sessions.cs` | Manages multiple independent conversations |
| Managing Local Files | `dotnet run managing-local-files.cs` | Organizes files using AI grouping |
| PR Visualization | `dotnet run pr-visualization.cs` | Generates PR age charts |
| Persisting Sessions | `dotnet run persisting-sessions.cs` | Save and resume sessions across restarts |
### Examples with Arguments
**PR Visualization with specific repo:**
```bash
dotnet run pr-visualization.cs -- --repo github/copilot-sdk
```
**Managing Local Files (edit the file to change target folder):**
```bash
# Edit the targetFolder variable in managing-local-files.cs first
dotnet run managing-local-files.cs
```
## File-Based Apps
These examples use .NET's file-based app feature, which allows single-file C# programs to:
- Run without a project file
- Automatically reference common packages
- Support top-level statements

# Error Handling Patterns
Handle errors gracefully in your Copilot SDK applications.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/error-handling.go](recipe/error-handling.go)
>
> ```bash
> go run recipe/error-handling.go
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to handle various error conditions like connection failures, timeouts, and invalid responses.
## Basic error handling
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)
func main() {
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to start client: %v", err)
}
defer func() {
if err := client.Stop(); err != nil {
log.Printf("Error stopping client: %v", err)
}
}()
session, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{
Model: "gpt-5",
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to create session: %v", err)
}
defer session.Destroy()
responseChan := make(chan string, 1)
session.On(func(event copilot.Event) {
if msg, ok := event.(copilot.AssistantMessageEvent); ok {
responseChan <- msg.Data.Content
}
})
if err := session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "Hello!"}); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to send message: %v", err)
}
response := <-responseChan
fmt.Println(response)
}
```
## Handling specific error types
```go
import (
"errors"
"os/exec"
)
func startClient() error {
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
var execErr *exec.Error
if errors.As(err, &execErr) {
return fmt.Errorf("Copilot CLI not found. Please install it first: %w", err)
}
if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
return fmt.Errorf("Could not connect to Copilot CLI server: %w", err)
}
return fmt.Errorf("Unexpected error: %w", err)
}
return nil
}
```
## Timeout handling
```go
import (
"context"
"time"
)
func sendWithTimeout(session *copilot.Session) error {
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()
responseChan := make(chan string, 1)
errChan := make(chan error, 1)
session.On(func(event copilot.Event) {
if msg, ok := event.(copilot.AssistantMessageEvent); ok {
responseChan <- msg.Data.Content
}
})
if err := session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "Complex question..."}); err != nil {
return err
}
select {
case response := <-responseChan:
fmt.Println(response)
return nil
case err := <-errChan:
return err
case <-ctx.Done():
return fmt.Errorf("request timed out")
}
}
```
## Aborting a request
```go
func abortAfterDelay(session *copilot.Session) {
// Start a request
session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "Write a very long story..."})
// Abort it after some condition
time.AfterFunc(5*time.Second, func() {
if err := session.Abort(); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to abort: %v", err)
}
fmt.Println("Request aborted")
})
}
```
## Graceful shutdown
```go
import (
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
)
func main() {
client := copilot.NewClient()
// Set up signal handling
sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigChan, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
go func() {
<-sigChan
fmt.Println("\nShutting down...")
if err := client.Stop(); err != nil {
log.Printf("Cleanup errors: %v", err)
}
os.Exit(0)
}()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// ... do work ...
}
```
## Deferred cleanup pattern
```go
func doWork() error {
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to start: %w", err)
}
defer client.Stop()
session, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "gpt-5"})
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to create session: %w", err)
}
defer session.Destroy()
// ... do work ...
return nil
}
```
## Best practices
1. **Always clean up**: Use defer to ensure `Stop()` is called
2. **Handle connection errors**: The CLI might not be installed or running
3. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Use `context.WithTimeout` for long-running requests
4. **Log errors**: Capture error details for debugging
5. **Wrap errors**: Use `fmt.Errorf` with `%w` to preserve error chains

# Grouping Files by Metadata
Use Copilot to intelligently organize files in a folder based on their metadata.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/managing-local-files.go](recipe/managing-local-files.go)
>
> ```bash
> go run recipe/managing-local-files.go
> ```
## Example scenario
You have a folder with many files and want to organize them into subfolders based on metadata like file type, creation date, size, or other attributes. Copilot can analyze the files and suggest or execute a grouping strategy.
## Example code
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"path/filepath"
"github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)
func main() {
// Create and start client
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer client.Stop()
// Create session
session, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{
Model: "gpt-5",
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session.Destroy()
// Event handler
session.On(func(event copilot.Event) {
switch e := event.(type) {
case copilot.AssistantMessageEvent:
fmt.Printf("\nCopilot: %s\n", e.Data.Content)
case copilot.ToolExecutionStartEvent:
fmt.Printf(" → Running: %s\n", e.Data.ToolName)
case copilot.ToolExecutionCompleteEvent:
fmt.Printf(" ✓ Completed: %s\n", e.Data.ToolName)
}
})
// Ask Copilot to organize files
homeDir, _ := os.UserHomeDir()
targetFolder := filepath.Join(homeDir, "Downloads")
prompt := fmt.Sprintf(`
Analyze the files in "%s" and organize them into subfolders.
1. First, list all files and their metadata
2. Preview grouping by file extension
3. Create appropriate subfolders (e.g., "images", "documents", "videos")
4. Move each file to its appropriate subfolder
Please confirm before moving any files.
`, targetFolder)
if err := session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: prompt}); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
session.WaitForIdle()
}
```
## Grouping strategies
### By file extension
```go
// Groups files like:
// images/ -> .jpg, .png, .gif
// documents/ -> .pdf, .docx, .txt
// videos/ -> .mp4, .avi, .mov
```
### By creation date
```go
// Groups files like:
// 2024-01/ -> files created in January 2024
// 2024-02/ -> files created in February 2024
```
### By file size
```go
// Groups files like:
// tiny-under-1kb/
// small-under-1mb/
// medium-under-100mb/
// large-over-100mb/
```
## Dry-run mode
For safety, you can ask Copilot to only preview changes:
```go
prompt := fmt.Sprintf(`
Analyze files in "%s" and show me how you would organize them
by file type. DO NOT move any files - just show me the plan.
`, targetFolder)
session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: prompt})
```
## Custom grouping with AI analysis
Let Copilot determine the best grouping based on file content:
```go
prompt := fmt.Sprintf(`
Look at the files in "%s" and suggest a logical organization.
Consider:
- File names and what they might contain
- File types and their typical uses
- Date patterns that might indicate projects or events
Propose folder names that are descriptive and useful.
`, targetFolder)
session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: prompt})
```
## Safety considerations
1. **Confirm before moving**: Ask Copilot to confirm before executing moves
2. **Handle duplicates**: Consider what happens if a file with the same name exists
3. **Preserve originals**: Consider copying instead of moving for important files

# Working with Multiple Sessions
Manage multiple independent conversations simultaneously.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/multiple-sessions.go](recipe/multiple-sessions.go)
>
> ```bash
> go run recipe/multiple-sessions.go
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to run multiple conversations in parallel, each with its own context and history.
## Go
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)
func main() {
client := copilot.NewClient()
if err := client.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer client.Stop()
// Create multiple independent sessions
session1, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "gpt-5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session1.Destroy()
session2, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "gpt-5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session2.Destroy()
session3, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{Model: "claude-sonnet-4.5"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer session3.Destroy()
// Each session maintains its own conversation history
session1.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a Python project"})
session2.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a TypeScript project"})
session3.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "You are helping with a Go project"})
// Follow-up messages stay in their respective contexts
session1.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I create a virtual environment?"})
session2.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I set up tsconfig?"})
session3.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "How do I initialize a module?"})
}
```
## Custom session IDs
Use custom IDs for easier tracking:
```go
session, err := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{
SessionID: "user-123-chat",
Model: "gpt-5",
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(session.SessionID) // "user-123-chat"
```
## Listing sessions
```go
sessions, err := client.ListSessions()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, sessionInfo := range sessions {
fmt.Printf("Session: %s\n", sessionInfo.SessionID)
}
```
## Deleting sessions
```go
// Delete a specific session
if err := client.DeleteSession("user-123-chat"); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to delete session: %v", err)
}
```
## Use cases
- **Multi-user applications**: One session per user
- **Multi-task workflows**: Separate sessions for different tasks
- **A/B testing**: Compare responses from different models

# Session Persistence and Resumption
Save and restore conversation sessions across application restarts.
## Example scenario
You want users to be able to continue a conversation even after closing and reopening your application.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/persisting-sessions.go](recipe/persisting-sessions.go)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe
> go run persisting-sessions.go
> ```
### Creating a session with a custom ID
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go"
)
func main() {
client := copilot.NewClient()
client.Start()
defer client.Stop()
// Create session with a memorable ID
session, _ := client.CreateSession(copilot.SessionConfig{
SessionID: "user-123-conversation",
Model: "gpt-5",
})
session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "Let's discuss TypeScript generics"})
// Session ID is preserved
fmt.Println(session.SessionID)
// Destroy session but keep data on disk
session.Destroy()
}
```
### Resuming a session
```go
client := copilot.NewClient()
client.Start()
defer client.Stop()
// Resume the previous session
session, _ := client.ResumeSession("user-123-conversation")
// Previous context is restored
session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: "What were we discussing?"})
session.Destroy()
```
### Listing available sessions
```go
sessions, _ := client.ListSessions()
for _, s := range sessions {
fmt.Println("Session:", s.SessionID)
}
```
### Deleting a session permanently
```go
// Remove session and all its data from disk
client.DeleteSession("user-123-conversation")
```
### Getting session history
```go
messages, _ := session.GetMessages()
for _, msg := range messages {
fmt.Printf("[%s] %v\n", msg.Type, msg.Data)
}
```
## Best practices
1. **Use meaningful session IDs**: Include user ID or context in the session ID
2. **Handle missing sessions**: Check if a session exists before resuming
3. **Clean up old sessions**: Periodically delete sessions that are no longer needed

# Generating PR Age Charts
Build an interactive CLI tool that visualizes pull request age distribution for a GitHub repository using Copilot's built-in capabilities.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/pr-visualization.go](recipe/pr-visualization.go)
>
> ```bash
> # Auto-detect from current git repo
> go run recipe/pr-visualization.go
>
> # Specify a repo explicitly
> go run recipe/pr-visualization.go -repo github/copilot-sdk
> ```
## Example scenario
You want to understand how long PRs have been open in a repository. This tool detects the current Git repo or accepts a repo as input, then lets Copilot fetch PR data via the GitHub MCP Server and generate a chart image.
## Prerequisites
```bash
go get github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go
```
## Usage
```bash
# Auto-detect from current git repo
go run pr-visualization.go
# Specify a repo explicitly
go run pr-visualization.go -repo github/copilot-sdk
```
## Full example: pr-visualization.go
```go
package main
import (
"bufio"
"flag"
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"os/exec"
"regexp"
"strings"

output, err := cmd.Output()
if err != nil {
return ""
}
remoteURL := strings.TrimSpace(string(output))
// Handle SSH: git@github.com:owner/repo.git
sshRe := regexp.MustCompile(`git@github\.com:(.+/.+?)(?:\.git)?$`)
if matches := sshRe.FindStringSubmatch(remoteURL); matches != nil {
return matches[1]
}
// Handle HTTPS: https://github.com/owner/repo.git
httpsRe := regexp.MustCompile(`https://github\.com/(.+/.+?)(?:\.git)?$`)

if strings.ToLower(input) == "exit" || strings.ToLower(input) == "quit" {
fmt.Println("👋 Goodbye!")
break
}
if err := session.Send(copilot.MessageOptions{Prompt: input}); err != nil {
log.Printf("Error: %v", err)
}
session.WaitForIdle()
}
}
```
## How it works
1. **Repository detection**: Checks `--repo` flag → git remote → prompts user
2. **No custom tools**: Relies entirely on Copilot CLI's built-in capabilities:
- **GitHub MCP Server** - Fetches PR data from GitHub
- **File tools** - Saves generated chart images
- **Code execution** - Generates charts using Python/matplotlib or other methods
3. **Interactive session**: After initial analysis, user can ask for adjustments
## Why this approach?
| Aspect | Custom Tools | Built-in Copilot |
| --------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Code complexity | High | **Minimal** |
| Maintenance | You maintain | **Copilot maintains** |
| Flexibility | Fixed logic | **AI decides best approach** |
| Chart types | What you coded | **Any type Copilot can generate** |
| Data grouping | Hardcoded buckets | **Intelligent grouping** |

# Error Handling Patterns
Handle errors gracefully in your Copilot SDK applications.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/error-handling.ts](recipe/error-handling.ts)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe && npm install
> npx tsx error-handling.ts
> # or: npm run error-handling
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to handle various error conditions like connection failures, timeouts, and invalid responses.
## Basic try-catch
```typescript
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
const client = new CopilotClient();
try {
await client.start();
const session = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-5" });
const response = await session.sendAndWait({ prompt: "Hello!" });
console.log(response?.data.content);
await session.destroy();
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error:", error.message);
} finally {
await client.stop();
}
```
## Handling specific error types
```typescript
try {
await client.start();
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes("ENOENT")) {
console.error("Copilot CLI not found. Please install it first.");
} else if (error.message.includes("ECONNREFUSED")) {
console.error("Could not connect to Copilot CLI server.");
} else {
console.error("Unexpected error:", error.message);
}
}
```
## Timeout handling
```typescript
const session = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-5" });
try {
// sendAndWait with timeout (in milliseconds)
const response = await session.sendAndWait(
{ prompt: "Complex question..." },
30000 // 30 second timeout
);
if (response) {
console.log(response.data.content);
} else {
console.log("No response received");
}
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes("timeout")) {
console.error("Request timed out");
}
}
```
## Aborting a request
```typescript
const session = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-5" });
// Start a request
session.send({ prompt: "Write a very long story..." });
// Abort it after some condition
setTimeout(async () => {
await session.abort();
console.log("Request aborted");
}, 5000);
```
## Graceful shutdown
```typescript
process.on("SIGINT", async () => {
console.log("Shutting down...");
const errors = await client.stop();
if (errors.length > 0) {
console.error("Cleanup errors:", errors);
}
process.exit(0);
});
```
## Force stop
```typescript
// If stop() takes too long, force stop
const stopPromise = client.stop();
const timeout = new Promise((_, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject(new Error("Timeout")), 5000));
try {
await Promise.race([stopPromise, timeout]);
} catch {
console.log("Forcing stop...");
await client.forceStop();
}
```
## Best practices
1. **Always clean up**: Use try-finally to ensure `client.stop()` is called
2. **Handle connection errors**: The CLI might not be installed or running
3. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Long-running requests should have timeouts
4. **Log errors**: Capture error details for debugging

# Grouping Files by Metadata
Use Copilot to intelligently organize files in a folder based on their metadata.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/managing-local-files.ts](recipe/managing-local-files.ts)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe && npm install
> npx tsx managing-local-files.ts
> # or: npm run managing-local-files
> ```
## Example scenario
You have a folder with many files and want to organize them into subfolders based on metadata like file type, creation date, size, or other attributes. Copilot can analyze the files and suggest or execute a grouping strategy.
## Example code
```typescript
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
import * as os from "node:os";
import * as path from "node:path";
// Create and start client
const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();
// Create session
const session = await client.createSession({
model: "gpt-5",
});
// Event handler
session.on((event) => {
switch (event.type) {
case "assistant.message":
console.log(`\nCopilot: ${event.data.content}`);
break;
case "tool.execution_start":
console.log(` → Running: ${event.data.toolName} ${event.data.toolCallId}`);
break;
case "tool.execution_complete":
console.log(` ✓ Completed: ${event.data.toolCallId}`);
break;
}
});
// Ask Copilot to organize files
const targetFolder = path.join(os.homedir(), "Downloads");
await session.sendAndWait({
prompt: `
Analyze the files in "${targetFolder}" and organize them into subfolders.
1. First, list all files and their metadata
2. Preview grouping by file extension
3. Create appropriate subfolders (e.g., "images", "documents", "videos")
4. Move each file to its appropriate subfolder
Please confirm before moving any files.
`,
});
await session.destroy();
await client.stop();
```
## Grouping strategies
### By file extension
```typescript
// Groups files like:
// images/ -> .jpg, .png, .gif
// documents/ -> .pdf, .docx, .txt
// videos/ -> .mp4, .avi, .mov
```
### By creation date
```typescript
// Groups files like:
// 2024-01/ -> files created in January 2024
// 2024-02/ -> files created in February 2024
```
### By file size
```typescript
// Groups files like:
// tiny-under-1kb/
// small-under-1mb/
// medium-under-100mb/
// large-over-100mb/
```
## Dry-run mode
For safety, you can ask Copilot to only preview changes:
```typescript
await session.sendAndWait({
prompt: `
Analyze files in "${targetFolder}" and show me how you would organize them
by file type. DO NOT move any files - just show me the plan.
`,
});
```
## Custom grouping with AI analysis
Let Copilot determine the best grouping based on file content:
```typescript
await session.sendAndWait({
prompt: `
Look at the files in "${targetFolder}" and suggest a logical organization.
Consider:
- File names and what they might contain
- File types and their typical uses
- Date patterns that might indicate projects or events
Propose folder names that are descriptive and useful.
`,
});
```
## Safety considerations
1. **Confirm before moving**: Ask Copilot to confirm before executing moves
2. **Handle duplicates**: Consider what happens if a file with the same name exists
3. **Preserve originals**: Consider copying instead of moving for important files

# Working with Multiple Sessions
Manage multiple independent conversations simultaneously.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/multiple-sessions.ts](recipe/multiple-sessions.ts)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe && npm install
> npx tsx multiple-sessions.ts
> # or: npm run multiple-sessions
> ```
## Example scenario
You need to run multiple conversations in parallel, each with its own context and history.
## Node.js
```typescript
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();
// Create multiple independent sessions
const session1 = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-5" });
const session2 = await client.createSession({ model: "gpt-5" });
const session3 = await client.createSession({ model: "claude-sonnet-4.5" });
// Each session maintains its own conversation history
await session1.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a Python project" });
await session2.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a TypeScript project" });
await session3.sendAndWait({ prompt: "You are helping with a Go project" });
// Follow-up messages stay in their respective contexts
await session1.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I create a virtual environment?" });
await session2.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I set up tsconfig?" });
await session3.sendAndWait({ prompt: "How do I initialize a module?" });
// Clean up all sessions
await session1.destroy();
await session2.destroy();
await session3.destroy();
await client.stop();
```
## Custom session IDs
Use custom IDs for easier tracking:
```typescript
const session = await client.createSession({
sessionId: "user-123-chat",
model: "gpt-5",
});
console.log(session.sessionId); // "user-123-chat"
```
## Listing sessions
```typescript
const sessions = await client.listSessions();
console.log(sessions);
// [{ sessionId: "user-123-chat", ... }, ...]
```
## Deleting sessions
```typescript
// Delete a specific session
await client.deleteSession("user-123-chat");
```
## Use cases
- **Multi-user applications**: One session per user
- **Multi-task workflows**: Separate sessions for different tasks
- **A/B testing**: Compare responses from different models

# Session Persistence and Resumption
Save and restore conversation sessions across application restarts.
## Example scenario
You want users to be able to continue a conversation even after closing and reopening your application.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/persisting-sessions.ts](recipe/persisting-sessions.ts)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe && npm install
> npx tsx persisting-sessions.ts
> # or: npm run persisting-sessions
> ```
### Creating a session with a custom ID
```typescript
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();
// Create session with a memorable ID
const session = await client.createSession({
sessionId: "user-123-conversation",
model: "gpt-5",
});
await session.sendAndWait({ prompt: "Let's discuss TypeScript generics" });
// Session ID is preserved
console.log(session.sessionId); // "user-123-conversation"
// Destroy session but keep data on disk
await session.destroy();
await client.stop();
```
### Resuming a session
```typescript
const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();
// Resume the previous session
const session = await client.resumeSession("user-123-conversation");
// Previous context is restored
await session.sendAndWait({ prompt: "What were we discussing?" });
// AI remembers the TypeScript generics discussion
await session.destroy();
await client.stop();
```
### Listing available sessions
```typescript
const sessions = await client.listSessions();
console.log(sessions);
// [
// { sessionId: "user-123-conversation", ... },
// { sessionId: "user-456-conversation", ... },
// ]
```
### Deleting a session permanently
```typescript
// Remove session and all its data from disk
await client.deleteSession("user-123-conversation");
```
## Getting session history
Retrieve all messages from a session:
```typescript
const messages = await session.getMessages();
for (const msg of messages) {
console.log(`[${msg.type}]`, msg.data);
}
```
## Best practices
1. **Use meaningful session IDs**: Include user ID or context in the session ID
2. **Handle missing sessions**: Check if a session exists before resuming
3. **Clean up old sessions**: Periodically delete sessions that are no longer needed

# Generating PR Age Charts
Build an interactive CLI tool that visualizes pull request age distribution for a GitHub repository using Copilot's built-in capabilities.
> **Runnable example:** [recipe/pr-visualization.ts](recipe/pr-visualization.ts)
>
> ```bash
> cd recipe && npm install
> # Auto-detect from current git repo
> npx tsx pr-visualization.ts
>
> # Specify a repo explicitly
> npx tsx pr-visualization.ts --repo github/copilot-sdk
> # or: npm run pr-visualization
> ```
## Example scenario
You want to understand how long PRs have been open in a repository. This tool detects the current Git repo or accepts a repo as input, then lets Copilot fetch PR data via the GitHub MCP Server and generate a chart image.
## Prerequisites
```bash
npm install @github/copilot-sdk
npm install -D typescript tsx @types/node
```
## Usage
```bash
# Auto-detect from current git repo
npx tsx pr-visualization.ts
# Specify a repo explicitly
npx tsx pr-visualization.ts --repo github/copilot-sdk
```
## Full example: pr-visualization.ts
```typescript
#!/usr/bin/env npx tsx
import { execSync } from "node:child_process";
import * as readline from "node:readline";
import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
// ============================================================================

}
}
function getGitHubRemote(): string | null {
try {
const remoteUrl = execSync("git remote get-url origin", {
encoding: "utf-8",
}).trim();
// Handle SSH: git@github.com:owner/repo.git
const sshMatch = remoteUrl.match(/git@github\.com:(.+\/.+?)(?:\.git)?$/);
if (sshMatch) return sshMatch[1];
// Handle HTTPS: https://github.com/owner/repo.git
const httpsMatch = remoteUrl.match(/https:\/\/github\.com\/(.+\/.+?)(?:\.git)?$/);
if (httpsMatch) return httpsMatch[1];
return null;
} catch {
return null;
}
}
function parseArgs(): { repo?: string } {
const args = process.argv.slice(2);
const repoIndex = args.indexOf("--repo");
if (repoIndex !== -1 && args[repoIndex + 1]) {
return { repo: args[repoIndex + 1] };
}
return {};
}
async function promptForRepo(): Promise<string> {
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout,
});
return new Promise((resolve) => {
rl.question("Enter GitHub repo (owner/repo): ", (answer) => {
rl.close();
resolve(answer.trim());
});
});
}
// ============================================================================

async function main() {
console.log("🔍 PR Age Chart Generator\n");
// Determine the repository
const args = parseArgs();
let repo: string;
if (args.repo) {
repo = args.repo;
console.log(`📦 Using specified repo: ${repo}`);
} else if (isGitRepo()) {

}
if (!repo || !repo.includes("/")) {
console.error("❌ Invalid repo format. Expected: owner/repo");
process.exit(1);
}
const [owner, repoName] = repo.split("/");
// Create Copilot client - no custom tools needed!
const client = new CopilotClient({ logLevel: "error" });
const session = await client.createSession({
model: "gpt-5",
systemMessage: {
content: `
<context>
You are analyzing pull requests for the GitHub repository: ${owner}/${repoName}
The current working directory is: ${process.cwd()}
</context>
<instructions>
- Use the GitHub MCP Server tools to fetch PR data
- Use your file and code execution tools to generate charts
- Save any generated images to the current working directory
- Be concise in your responses
</instructions>
`,
},
});
// Set up event handling
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,

});
session.on((event) => {
if (event.type === "assistant.message") {
console.log(`\n🤖 ${event.data.content}\n`);
} else if (event.type === "tool.execution_start") {
console.log(` ⚙️ ${event.data.toolName}`);
}
});
// Initial prompt - let Copilot figure out the details
console.log("\n📊 Starting analysis...\n");
await session.sendAndWait({
prompt: `
Fetch the open pull requests for ${owner}/${repoName} from the last week.
Calculate the age of each PR in days.
Then generate a bar chart image showing the distribution of PR ages
(group them into sensible buckets like <1 day, 1-3 days, etc.).
Save the chart as "pr-age-chart.png" in the current directory.
Finally, summarize the PR health - average age, oldest PR, and how many might be considered stale.
`,
});
// Interactive loop
const askQuestion = () => {
rl.question("You: ", async (input) => {
const trimmed = input.trim();
if (trimmed.toLowerCase() === "exit" || trimmed.toLowerCase() === "quit") {
console.log("👋 Goodbye!");
rl.close();
await session.destroy();
await client.stop();
process.exit(0);
}
if (trimmed) {

console.log('💡 Ask follow-up questions or type "exit" to quit.\n');
console.log("Examples:");

console.log(' - "Show me the 5 oldest PRs"');
console.log(' - "Generate a pie chart instead"');
console.log(' - "Group by author instead of age"');
console.log("");
askQuestion();
}
main().catch(console.error);
```
## How it works
1. **Repository detection**: Checks `--repo` flag → git remote → prompts user
2. **No custom tools**: Relies entirely on Copilot CLI's built-in capabilities:
- **GitHub MCP Server** - Fetches PR data from GitHub
- **File tools** - Saves generated chart images
- **Code execution** - Generates charts using Python/matplotlib or other methods
3. **Interactive session**: After initial analysis, user can ask for adjustments
## Sample interaction

# Runnable Recipe Examples
This folder contains standalone, executable TypeScript examples for each cookbook recipe. Each file can be run directly with `tsx` or via npm scripts.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- Install dependencies (this links to the local SDK in the repo):
```bash
npm install
```
## Running Examples
Each `.ts` file is a complete, runnable program. You can run them in two ways:
### Using npm scripts:
```bash
npm run <script-name>
```
### Using tsx directly:
```bash
npx tsx <filename>.ts
```
### Available Recipes
| Recipe | npm script | Direct command | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Error Handling | `npm run error-handling` | `npx tsx error-handling.ts` | Demonstrates error handling patterns |
| Multiple Sessions | `npm run multiple-sessions` | `npx tsx multiple-sessions.ts` | Manages multiple independent conversations |
| Managing Local Files | `npm run managing-local-files` | `npx tsx managing-local-files.ts` | Organizes files using AI grouping |
| PR Visualization | `npm run pr-visualization` | `npx tsx pr-visualization.ts` | Generates PR age charts |
| Persisting Sessions | `npm run persisting-sessions` | `npx tsx persisting-sessions.ts` | Save and resume sessions across restarts |
### Examples with Arguments
**PR Visualization with specific repo:**
```bash
npx tsx pr-visualization.ts --repo github/copilot-sdk
```
**Managing Local Files (edit the file to change target folder):**
```bash
# Edit the targetFolder variable in managing-local-files.ts first
npx tsx managing-local-files.ts
```
## Local SDK Development
The `package.json` references the local Copilot SDK using `"*"`, which resolves to the local SDK source. This means:
- Changes to the SDK source are immediately available
- No need to publish or install from npm
- Perfect for testing and development
If you modify the SDK source, you may need to rebuild:
```bash
cd ../../src
npm run build
```
## TypeScript Features
These examples use modern TypeScript/Node.js features:
- Top-level await (requires `"type": "module"` in package.json)
- ESM imports
- Type safety with TypeScript
- async/await patterns
## Learning Resources
- [TypeScript Documentation](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/)
- [Node.js Documentation](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/)
- [GitHub Copilot SDK for Node.js](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/nodejs/README.md)
- [Parent Cookbook](../README.md)
