See the individual SDK READMEs for installation, usage examples, and API reference.

## Getting Started

1. **Install the Copilot CLI:**

   Follow the [Copilot CLI installation guide](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/set-up/install-copilot-cli) to install the CLI, or ensure `copilot` is available in your PATH.

2. **Install your preferred SDK** using the commands above.

3. **See the SDK README** for usage examples and API documentation.

## Architecture

All SDKs communicate with the Copilot CLI server via JSON-RPC:

```
Your Application
       ↓
  SDK Client
       ↓ JSON-RPC
  Copilot CLI (server mode)
```

The SDK manages the CLI process lifecycle automatically. You can also connect to an external CLI server—see individual SDK docs for details.
