azure-hosted-copilot-sdk

SKILL.md

Build and deploy GitHub Copilot SDK applications to Azure with flexible model configuration.

Three scaffolding paths: create new greenfield projects, add SDK services to existing repos, or deploy existing SDK apps with Azure infrastructure

Supports three model configurations: GitHub's default models, specific GitHub models via discovery, or bring-your-own-model (BYOM) on Azure with DefaultAzureCredential authentication

Includes complete templates with Express/TypeScript API, React/Vite frontend, Bicep infrastructure, Docker support, and token management scripts

Deploy workflow uses azure-prepare, azure-validate, and azure-deploy steps; requires Docker and respects existing AGENTS.md configuration in user repos

GitHub Copilot SDK on Azure

Codebase Detection — MANDATORY FIRST CHECK

⚠️ CRITICAL: This check MUST run before ANY other skill (azure-prepare, azure-deploy, etc.) when an existing codebase is present.

Detection procedure (run IMMEDIATELY for any build/modify/add-feature/prepare prompt):

Read package.json in the workspace root (and any */package.json one level deep)

Check if @github/copilot-sdk or copilot-sdk appears in name, dependencies, or devDependencies

If NOT found in package.json, scan .ts and .js files for CopilotClient or createSession

If ANY marker is found → invoke this skill as the entry point. Do not route directly to azure-prepare or azure-deploy — this skill orchestrates them as sub-skills.
