|
|
|
|
This is a powerful **GitHub Copilot SDK** Pipe for **OpenWebUI** that provides a unified **Agentic experience**. It goes beyond simple model access by enabling autonomous **Intent Recognition**, **Web Search**, and **Context Compaction**. It seamlessly reuses your existing **Tools, MCP servers, OpenAPI servers, and Skills** from OpenWebUI to create a truly integrated ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
- **🧠 Autonomous Intent Recognition**: The Agent independently analyzes user goals to determine the most effective path forward.
|
|
- **🌐 Smart Web Search**: Built-in capability to trigger web searches autonomously based on task requirements.
|
|
- **♾️ Infinite Session (Context Compaction)**: Automatically manages long-running conversations by compacting context (summarization + TODO persistence) to maintain project focus.
|
|
- **🧩 Ecosystem Injection**: Directly reads and leverages your configured **OpenWebUI Tools, MCPs, OpenAPI Servers, and Skills**.
|
|
- **🎨 Interactive Delivery**: Native support for **HTML Artifacts** and **RichUI** components for real-time visualization and reporting.
|
|
|
|
> [!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.

## ✨ v0.10.0: Native Prompt Restoration, Live TODO Widget & SDK v0.1.30
|
|
|
|
- **⌨️ Authentic Prompt Restoration**: Restored the native Copilot CLI **Plan Mode** for complex task orchestration and native SQLite-backed session management for robust state persistence.
|
|
- **📋 Live TODO Widget**: Added a compact real-time task tracking widget synchronized with `session.db`, keeping in-progress work visible without cluttering the chat history.
|
|
- **🧩 OpenWebUI Tool Call Fixes**: Fixed custom tool invocation by syncing injected context with OpenWebUI 0.8.x expectations, including `__request__`, `request`, `body`, `__messages__`, `__metadata__`, `__files__`, `__task__`, and session/chat/message IDs.
|
|
- **🔒 SDK v0.1.30 + Adaptive Workstyle**: Upgraded the pipe to `github-copilot-sdk==0.1.30`, moving workflow logic into the system prompt for autonomous "Plan-vs-Execute" decisions.
|
|
- **🐛 Intent + Widget UX Fixes**: Fixed `report_intent` localization and cleaned up TODO widget layout for a more professional look.
|
|
- **🧾 Better Embedded Tool Results**: Improved HTML/embedded tool outcomes and synchronized documentation surface.
|
|

## ✨ Key Capabilities
|
|
|
|
- **🔑 Unified Intelligence (Official + BYOK)**: Seamlessly switch between official GitHub Copilot models and your own models (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI) via **Bring Your Own Key** mode.
|
|
- **🛡️ Physical Workspace Isolation**: Every session runs in its own isolated directory sandbox. This ensures absolute data privacy and prevents cross-chat file contamination while allowing the Agent full filesystem access.
|
|
- **🔌 Universal Tool Protocol**:
|
|
- **Native MCP**: Direct, high-performance connection to Model Context Protocol servers.
|
|
- **OpenAPI Bridge**: Connect to any external REST API as an Agent tool.
|
|
- **OpenWebUI Native**: Zero-config bridge to your existing OpenWebUI tools and built-ins (Web Search, Memory, etc.).
|
|
- **🧩 OpenWebUI Skills Bridge**: Transforms simple OpenWebUI Markdown instructions into powerful SDK skill folders complete with supporting scripts, templates, and data.
|
|
- **🧭 Adaptive Planning and Execution**: The Agent decides whether to respond with a planning-first analysis or direct implementation flow based on task complexity, ambiguity, and user intent.
|
|
- **♾️ Infinite Session Management**: Advanced context window management with automatic "Compaction" (summarization + list persistence). Carry out weeks-long projects without losing the core thread.
|
|
- **📊 Interactive Artifacts & Publishing**:
|
|
- **Live HTML/JS**: Instantly render and interact with apps, dashboards, or reports generated by the Agent.
|
|
- **Persistent Publishing**: Agents can "publish" generated files (Excel, CSV, docs) to OpenWebUI's file storage, providing permanent download links.
|
|
- **🌊 UX-First Streaming**: Full support for "Thinking" processes (Chain of Thought), status indicators, and real-time progress bars for long-running tasks.
|
|
- **🧠 Deep Database Integration**: Real-time persistence of TODO lists and session metadata ensures your workflow state is always visible in the UI.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> **💡 Visualization Pro-Tip**
|
|
> To get the most out of **HTML Artifacts** and **RichUI**, we highly recommend asking the Agent to install the skill via its GitHub URL:
|
|
> "Install this skill: <https://github.com/nicobailon/visual-explainer>".
|
|
> This skill is specifically optimized for generating high-quality visual components and integrates perfectly with this Pipe.

## 🧩 Companion Files Filter (Required for raw files)
|
|
|
|
`GitHub Copilot SDK Files Filter` is the companion plugin that prevents OpenWebUI's default RAG pre-processing from consuming uploaded files before the Pipe receives them.
|
|
|
|
- **What it does**: Moves uploaded files to `copilot_files` so the Pipe can access raw binaries directly.
|
|
- **Why it matters**: Without it, uploaded files may be parsed/vectorized early and the Agent may lose direct raw-file access.
|
|
- **v0.1.3 highlights**:
|
|
- BYOK model-id matching fix (supports `github_copilot_official_sdk_pipe.xxx` prefixes).
|
|
- Optional dual-channel debug log (`show_debug_log`) to backend logger + browser console.

### 📤 Enhanced Publishing & Interactive Components
|
|
|
|
The `publish_file_from_workspace` tool now uses a clearer delivery contract for production use:
|
|
|
|
- **Artifacts mode (`artifacts`, default)**: Agent returns `[Preview]` + `[Download]` and may output `html_embed` in a ```html block for direct chat rendering.
|
|
- **Rich UI mode (`richui`)**: Agent returns `[Preview]` + `[Download]` only; integrated preview is rendered automatically via emitter (no iframe block in message).
|
|
- **📄 PDF delivery safety rule**: Always output Markdown links only (`[Preview]` + `[Download]` when available). **Do not embed PDF via iframe/html blocks.**
|
|
- **⚡ Stable dual-channel publishing**: Keeps interactive viewing and persistent file download aligned across local/object-storage backends.
|
|
- **✅ Status integration**: Emits real-time publishing progress and completion feedback to the OpenWebUI status bar.
|
|
- **📘 Publishing Tool Guide (GitHub)**: [publish_file_from_workspace Guide](https://github.com/Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions/blob/main/plugins/pipes/github-copilot-sdk/PUBLISH_FILE_FROM_WORKSPACE.md)
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 🧩 OpenWebUI Skills Bridge & `manage_skills` Tool
|
|
|
|
The SDK now features a bidirectional bridge with the OpenWebUI **Workspace > Skills** page:
|
|
|
|
- **🔄 Automatic Sync**: Skills created or updated in the OpenWebUI UI are automatically downloaded as `SKILL.md` folders into the SDK's shared cache on every request.
|
|
- **🛠️ `manage_skills` Tool**: The Agent can deterministically manage skills using this tool.
|
|
- `list`: List all installed skills and their descriptions.
|
|
- `install`: Install a skill from a GitHub URL (auto-normalized to archive link) or a direct `.zip`/`.tar.gz`.
|
|
- `create`: Create a new skill directory from context, writing `SKILL.md` and any extra resource files (scripts, templates).
|
|
- `edit`: Update an existing skill folder.
|
|
- `delete`: Atomically delete both the local directory and the linked OpenWebUI DB entry.
|
|
- **📁 Full Folder Support**: Unlike the single-markdown storage in OpenWebUI DB, the SDK loads the **entire folder** for each skill. This allows skills to carry binary scripts, data files, or complex templates alongside the core instructions.
|
|
- **🌐 Shared Persistent Cache**: Skills are stored in `OPENWEBUI_SKILLS_SHARED_DIR/shared/`, which is persistent across sessions and container restarts.
|
|
- **📚 Full Skill Docs (GitHub)**: [manage_skills Tool Guide](https://github.com/Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions/blob/main/plugins/pipes/github-copilot-sdk/SKILLS_MANAGER.md) | [Skills Best Practices](https://github.com/Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions/blob/main/plugins/pipes/github-copilot-sdk/SKILLS_BEST_PRACTICES.md)

|
### 🌊 Fluid UX & Granular Status Feedback
|
|
|
|
Say goodbye to the "stuck" feeling during complex processing:
|
|
|
|
- **🔄 Real-Time Status Bubbles**: Maps internal SDK events (`turn_start`, `compaction`, `subagent_started`) directly to the OpenWebUI status bar.
|
|
- **🧭 Richer Stage Descriptions**: Status text now explicitly reflects phases such as processing, skill invocation, tool execution, tool completion/failure, publishing, and final completion.
|
|
- **⏱️ Long-Task Heartbeat**: During long waits, the status bar emits periodic "still processing" updates (elapsed-time style) to avoid silent stalls.
|
|
- **📈 Tool Progress Tracking**: Long-running tool executions provide live progress percentages and descriptive sub-task updates in the status bar.
|
|
- **⚡ Immediate Feedback**: Response starts with an instant "Assistant is processing" status, eliminating idle wait time before the first token.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 🛡️ Smart Version Compatibility
|
|
|
|
The plugin automatically adapts its feature set based on your OpenWebUI version:
|
|
|
|
- **v0.8.0+**: Rich UI, live status bubbles, and integrated HTML preview.
|
|
- **Older**: Automatic fallback to standard Markdown blocks for maximum stability.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 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.
|
|
|
|
### 3) Authentication Requirement (Mandatory)
|
|
|
|
You MUST configure **at least one** credential source:
|
|
|
|
- `GH_TOKEN` (GitHub Copilot subscription route), or
|
|
- `BYOK_API_KEY` (OpenAI/Anthropic route).
|
|
|
|
If neither is configured, the model list will not appear.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 📋 Troubleshooting & Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- **Agent ignores files?**: Ensure the Files Filter is enabled, otherwise RAG will interfere with raw binaries.
|
|
- **No status updates?**: Status bubbles are emitted for processing/tool phases; TODO progress bars specifically appear when the Agent uses `update_todo`.
|
|
- **Dependencies**: This Pipe automatically manages `github-copilot-sdk` (Python) and utilizes the bundled binary CLI. No manual install required.
