GitHub Copilot agent runtime (OpenClaw plugin)

External OpenClaw plugin that registers a copilot agent harness backed by @github/copilot-sdk and the GitHub Copilot CLI.

Install

bash

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/copilot

Restart the Gateway after installing or updating the plugin.

The harness claims the canonical subscription github-copilot provider plus custom BYOK provider entries that the Copilot SDK can represent. Manifest-owned native provider ids stay with their owning runtimes. The harness is opt-in only: selection requires explicit agentRuntime.id: "copilot" on a model or provider entry; auto never picks it. PI remains the default embedded runtime.

See GitHub Copilot agent runtime for configuration, the doctor contract, transcript mirroring, compaction, side questions, replay, and the supported-surface contract. See qa/copilot-capabilities.md for the SDK capability inventory the harness is pinned to.
