FAQ

What should I do if my codebase contains Copilot SDK markers?

If your codebase contains any Copilot SDK markers like `@github/copilot-sdk`, `copilot-sdk`, `CopilotClient`, or methods like `createSession` or `sendAndWait`, you must use the `azure-hosted-copilot-sdk` skill instead of `azure-prepare`.

Can I use this skill for general web applications?

No, the `azure-hosted-copilot-sdk` skill is specifically designed for applications using the Copilot SDK. For general web applications, you should use the `azure-prepare` skill.

What is BYOM and how do I configure it?

BYOM stands for Bring Your Own Model. You can configure BYOM by setting the `model` and `provider` parameters along with a `bearerToken` obtained using either `DefaultAzureCredential` for local development or `ManagedIdentityCredential` for production.

Do I need Docker for deployment?

Yes, Docker is required for deployment. You must have Docker installed and configured on your system.

Can I use this skill for Copilot Extensions or Foundry agents?

No, the `azure-hosted-copilot-sdk` skill is not intended for use with Copilot Extensions or Foundry agents. For Foundry agents, use the `microsoft-foundry` skill.
