Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub Copilot SDK Skill

## Overview

The `@github/copilot-sdk` package provides programmatic access to GitHub Copilot's agentic workflows. It exposes the same production-tested agent runtime behind Copilot CLI with support for custom tools, **MCP servers**, streaming responses, and custom agents.

**Repository**: https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk  
**NPM Package**: `@github/copilot-sdk`  
**Current Version**: `1.0.0-beta.4` (see `package.json`)

## Architecture

```
Your Application
     ↓
SDK Client (CopilotClient)
     ↓ JSON-RPC
Copilot CLI (server mode)
     ↓
MCP Servers (optional)
```

## How This Project Uses the SDK

**Server-side** — sessions are constructed per request, **never** with
`useLoggedInUser: true`. The per-request user's GitHub token flows into
every `createSession` call. The CopilotClient itself is constructed inside
the per-user runtime pool (`src/lib/copilot/runtime/`) and Copilot
execution is routed through the mandatory worker boundary at
`src/lib/copilot/execution/`. **Web/API never imports the SDK directly —
see [`copilot-sdk-worker-only`](../copilot-sdk-worker-only/SKILL.md) for
the boundary contract.** See

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrisreddington/flight-school/copilot-sdk@sha256:159fbc8261450fcb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.78cd692, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
