name: "azure-hosted-copilot-sdk" description: "Build, deploy, and modify GitHub Copilot SDK apps on Azure. MANDATORY when codebase contains @github/copilot-sdk or CopilotClient in package.json. PREFER OVER azure-prepare when copilot-sdk markers detected. WHEN: copilot SDK, @github/copilot-sdk, copilot-powered app, build copilot app, prepare copilot app, add feature to copilot app, modify copilot app, BYOM, bring your own model, CopilotClient, createSession, sendAndWait, azd init copilot.

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.

Marker Where to check

@github/copilot-sdk package.json dependencies or devDependencies

copilot-sdk package.json name or dependencies

CopilotClient Source files (.ts, .js)

createSession + sendAndWait Source files (.ts, .js)
