Copilot SDK usage

Clawdbot integrations that use GitHub Copilot must rely on the official @github/copilot-sdk package. This keeps the integration consistent and simplifies maintenance.

Requirements

• Use @github/copilot-sdk for all Copilot API integrations.
• Do not import or depend on other @github/copilot* packages.
• Keep Copilot usage in a dedicated module so usage can be audited easily.

Automated enforcement

The repo ships a validation script that scans for non-SDK Copilot usage.

• Run pnpm copilot:check to validate the tree.
• The check runs in CI via the Vitest guard in the test suite.

Current status

Clawdbot integrates with GitHub Copilot via the official @github/copilot-sdk package.

Examples

Allowed:

import { createClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";

Disallowed:

import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot";
