Build an interview coach app with the GitHub Copilot SDK

Read on microsoft.com

Summary

The GitHub Copilot SDK enables developers to embed Copilot's agent runtime into custom applications, demonstrated by an interview coach app. This allows applications to define agents with specific instructions and custom tools, leveraging Copilot for model interaction and tool execution.

  • The GitHub Copilot SDK allows embedding Copilot's agent runtime into custom applications, extending its use beyond code editing.
  • Applications define agents with specific instructions and custom tools, while Copilot handles model interaction and tool calls.
  • The sample uses Microsoft Agent Framework to orchestrate multiple Copilot-backed "specialist" agents for different interview stages.
  • Custom tools are exposed to Copilot via SessionConfig using a "custom:" prefix to distinguish them from built-in tools.

This article is relevant for developers looking to build agent-based applications or internal workflows by reusing an existing LLM agent runtime like GitHub Copilot.

  1. Migrating the GitHub Copilot runtime to Rust, using Copilot

    The Copilot agent runtime was rewritten from a 130‑k‑line TypeScript/Node.js codebase into a native Rust library (~830 k lines of Rust) to reduce startup latency, memory use, and improve reliability. The migration was done incrementally (in‑place) across 128 PRs, with AI‑generated code handling most of the work. The new runtime exposes a C ABI for in‑process embedding by all six Copilot SDK langu…
