About

The SDK exposes the same agent engine that runs Copilot CLI, so a program can invoke it instead of building its own orchestration. Your code defines the agent behavior, and the runtime handles planning, tool invocation and file edits. Packages are listed for Python, TypeScript, Go, .NET, Java and Rust, each with its own install command. The README links cookbooks and API docs for each language.

Use cases: code-generation, agent-orchestration
