# GitHub Copilot SDK Pipe for OpenWebUI

**Author:** [Fu-Jie](https://github.com/Fu-Jie/awesome-openwebui) | **Version:** 0.6.0 | **Project:** [Awesome OpenWebUI](https://github.com/Fu-Jie/awesome-openwebui) | **License:** MIT

This is an advanced Pipe function for [OpenWebUI](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui) that integrates the official [GitHub Copilot SDK](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk). It enables you to use **GitHub Copilot models** (e.g., `gpt-5.2-codex`, `claude-sonnet-4.5`,`gemini-3-pro`, `gpt-5-mini`) **AND** your own models via **BYOK** (OpenAI, Anthropic) directly within OpenWebUI, providing a unified agentic experience with **strict User & Chat-level Workspace Isolation**.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Essential Companion**
> To unlock file handling and data analysis capabilities, you must install the [GitHub Copilot SDK Files Filter](https://openwebui.com/posts/403a62ee-a596-45e7-be65-fab9cc249dd6).

> [!TIP]
> **No Subscription Required for BYOK**
> If you are using your own API keys (BYOK mode with OpenAI/Anthropic), **you do NOT need a GitHub Copilot subscription.** A subscription is only required to access GitHub's official models.

## ✨ v0.6.0 Updates (What's New)

- **👥 User & Chat Management**: Physical management architecture (`user_id/chat_id`) for absolute resource independence.
- **🤖 Empowering Agent Autonomy**: Automatic synchronization of raw files to the workspace, enabling direct Python-based analysis of Excel/CSV.
- **🔧 OpenAPI & External Tool Fixes**: Full support for tools mounted via OpenAPI servers.
- **📊 Cost Control**: Enhanced **Billing Multiplier Limits** (`MAX_MULTIPLIER`, e.g., set to 0 for free models only) and **Model Keyword Filtering** (`EXCLUDE_KEYWORDS`) for precise cost management.
- **🧠 Persistent TODO Lists**: Database-backed task tracking that persists across sessions.

## 🎯 Use Cases (What can you do?)

- **📁 Fully Autonomous DevOps**: Agent analyzes code, runs tests, and applies patches within its isolated sandbox.
- **📊 Deep Data Auditing**: Directly process raw Excel/CSV data via Python (bypassing RAG) and generate visual reports.
- **📝 Long-Task Management**: Automatically decomposes complex requests and persists TOD·O progress across sessions.

## 🚀 Installation & Configuration

### 1) Import Function

1. Open OpenWebUI, go to **Workspace** -> **Functions**.
2. Click **+** (Create Function), paste the content of `github_copilot_sdk.py`.
3. Save and ensure it is enabled.

### 2) Get Token

1. Visit [GitHub Token Settings](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta).
2. Create **Fine-grained token**, granting **Account permissions** -> **Copilot Requests** access.
3. Paste the generated Token into the `GH_TOKEN` field in Valves.

## 📋 Troubleshooting & Dependencies

- **Agent ignores files?**: Ensure the Files Filter is enabled, otherwise RAG will interfere with raw binaries.
- **No progress bar?**: The bar only appears when the Agent uses the `update_todo` tool.
- **Dependencies**: This Pipe automatically installs `github-copilot-sdk` (Python) and `github-copilot-cli` (Binary).
