## Before / After 对比

### Azure Copilot SDK集成开发提速

## Readme

# azure-hosted-copilot-sdk

# GitHub Copilot SDK on Azure

## Step 1: Route

User wants
Action

Build new (empty project)
Step 2A (scaffold)

Add new SDK service to existing repo
Step 2B (scaffold alongside)

Deploy existing SDK app to Azure
Step 2C (add infra to existing SDK app)

Add SDK to existing app code
[Integrate SDK](https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/blob/HEAD/plugin/skills/azure-hosted-copilot-sdk/references/existing-project-integration.md)

Use Azure/own model
Step 3 (BYOM config)

## Step 2A: Scaffold New (Greenfield)

`azd init --template azure-samples/copilot-sdk-service`

Template includes API (Express/TS) + Web UI (React/Vite) + infra (Bicep) + Dockerfiles + token scripts — do NOT recreate. See [SDK ref](https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/blob/HEAD/plugin/skills/azure-hosted-copilot-sdk/references/copilot-sdk.md).

## Step 2B: Add SDK Service to Existing Repo

User has existing code and wants a new Copilot SDK service alongside it. Scaffold template to a temp dir, copy the API service + infra into the user's repo, adapt `azure.yaml` to include both existing and new services. See [deploy existing ref](https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/blob/HEAD/plugin/skills/azure-hosted-copilot-sdk/references/deploy-existing.md).

## Step 2C: Deploy Existing SDK App

User already has a working Copilot SDK app and needs Azure infra. See [deploy existing ref](https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/blob/HEAD/plugin/skills/azure-hosted-copilot-sdk/references/deploy-existing.md).

## Step 3: Model Configuration

Three model paths (layers on top of 2A/2B):

Path
Config

**GitHub default**
No `model` param — SDK picks default

**GitHub specific**
`model: "<name>"` — use `listModels()` to discover

**Azure BYOM**
`model` + `provider` with `bearerToken` via `DefaultAzureCredential`

See [model config ref](https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/blob/HEAD/plugin/skills/azure-hosted-copilot-sdk/references/azure-model-config.md).

## Step 4: Deploy

Invoke **azure-prepare** (skip its Step 0 routing — scaffolding is done) → **azure-validate** → **azure-deploy** in order.

## Rules

- Read `AGENTS.md` in user's repo before changes

- Docker required (`docker info`)
