Contributing to CopilotKit

Important: CopilotKit's internal v2 packages use the @copilotkit/ namespace. The public API that users install is @copilotkit/. When contributing, you work with @copilotkit/* source but users never see that namespace.

Live Documentation (MCP)

This plugin includes an MCP server (copilotkit-docs) that provides search-docs and search-code tools for querying live CopilotKit documentation and source code.

  • Claude Code: Auto-configured by the plugin's .mcp.json -- no setup needed.
  • Codex: Requires manual configuration. See the [copilotkit-debug skill](../copilotkit-debug/SKILL.md#mcp-setup) for setup instructions.

Workflow

  1. Fork and clone the CopilotKit/CopilotKit repository.
  2. Install dependencies with pnpm install (requires pnpm v9.x and Node 20+).
  3. Build once with pnpm build to bootstrap all packages.
  4. Create a branch using the naming convention: feat/<ISSUE>-<name>, fix/<ISSUE>-<name>, or docs/<ISSUE>-<name>.
  5. Develop with pnpm dev (watches all packages) or target a specific package with nx run @copilotkit/<pkg>:dev.
  6. Write and run tests with nx run @copilotkit/<pkg>:test. All v2 packages use Vitest.
  7. Lint and format with pnpm run lint --fix && pnpm run format.
  8. Commit using conventional commit format: <type>(<scope>): <subject> (enforced by commitlint).
  9. Push and open a PR against the main branch. CI builds all packages and publishes preview packages via pkg-pr-new.

Before Opening a PR

  • Reach out to the maintainers first for any significant work (file an issue or ask on Discord).
  • Run pnpm run test to verify all tests pass.
  • Run pnpm run build to verify the full build succeeds.
  • Run pnpm run check-prettier to verify formatting.
  • Ensure commit messages follow the <type>(<scope>): <subject> format.

Key Architecture Points

  • V2 (@copilotkit/) is the real implementation. V1 (@copilotkit/) wraps V2.
  • New features always go in V2 packages under packages/v2/.
  • Communication between frontend and runtime uses the AG-UI protocol (SSE-based events).
  • The monorepo uses Nx for task orchestration and pnpm workspaces.
