Copilot SDK Clojure Examples

This directory contains example applications demonstrating various features of the Copilot SDK for Clojure.

Prerequisites

1. Copilot CLI: Ensure the GitHub Copilot CLI is installed and accessible in your PATH.

   which copilot
   # Or set COPILOT_CLI_PATH to your CLI location

2. Dependencies: The examples use the :examples alias from deps.edn.

Running Examples

All examples use Clojure's -X invocation, which allows passing parameters directly.

From the project root:

# Basic Q&A conversation
clojure -A:examples -X basic-chat/run

# With custom questions
clojure -A:examples -X basic-chat/run :q1 '"What is Clojure?"' :q2 '"Who created it?"'

# Simple stateless query (helpers API)
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run :prompt '"Explain recursion briefly."'

# Multiple independent queries
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-multi
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-multi :questions '["What is Rust?" "What is Go?"]'

# Streaming output
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-streaming

# Custom tool integration
clojure -A:examples -X tool-integration/run
clojure -A:examples -X tool-integration/run :languages '["clojure" "haskell"]'

Or run all examples:

./run-all-examples.sh

Note: run-all-examples.sh runs 14 examples that need only the Copilot CLI (examples 1–9 and 12–16). Examples 10 (BYOK) and 11 (MCP) require external dependencies (API keys, Node.js) and must be run manually.

With a custom CLI path:

COPILOT_CLI_PATH=/path/to/copilot clojure -A:examples -X basic-chat/run

---

Example 1: Basic Chat (basic_chat.clj)

Difficulty: Beginner
Concepts: Client lifecycle, sessions, message sending

The simplest use case—create a client, start a conversation, and get responses.

What It Demonstrates

• Creating and starting a CopilotClient
• Creating a session with a specific model
• Sending messages with send-and-wait!
• Multi-turn conversation (context is preserved)
• Proper cleanup with with-client-session

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X basic-chat/run
clojure -A:examples -X basic-chat/run :q1 '"What is Clojure?"' :q2 '"Who created it?"'

Code Walkthrough

(require '[github.copilot-sdk :as copilot])
(require '[github.copilot-sdk.helpers :as h])

;; 1. Create a client and session
(copilot/with-client-session [session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                       :model "claude-haiku-4.5"}]
  ;; 2. Send a message using query with the session
  (println (h/query "What is the capital of France?" :session session))
  ;; => "The capital of France is Paris."

  ;; 3. Follow-up question (conversation context preserved)
  (println (h/query "What is its population?" :session session)))
  ;; The model knows "its" refers to Paris

---

Example 2: Helpers Query (helpers_query.clj)

Difficulty: Beginner
Concepts: Stateless queries, simple API

Shows the simplified helpers API for one-shot queries without managing client/session lifecycle.

What It Demonstrates

• query - Simple synchronous query, returns just the answer string
• query-seq! - Returns a bounded lazy sequence (default 256 events) and guarantees session cleanup
• query-chan - Returns core.async channel of events for explicit lifecycle control
• Automatic client management (created on first use, reused across queries)
• Automatic cleanup via JVM shutdown hook (no manual cleanup needed)

Usage

# Simple query
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run

# With custom prompt
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run :prompt '"What is functional programming?"'

# Streaming output (lazy seq)
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-streaming

# Streaming output (core.async)
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-async

# Multiple independent queries
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-multi
clojure -A:examples -X helpers-query/run-multi :questions '["What is Rust?" "What is Go?"]'

Code Walkthrough

(require '[github.copilot-sdk.helpers :as h])

;; Simplest possible query - just get the answer
(h/query "What is 2+2?" :session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                   :model "claude-haiku-4.5"})
;; => "4"

;; With options
(h/query "What is Clojure?" :session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                       :model "claude-haiku-4.5"})

;; Streaming with multimethod event handling
(defmulti handle-event :type)
(defmethod handle-event :default [_] nil)
(defmethod handle-event :copilot/assistant.message_delta [{{:keys [delta-content]} :data}]
  (print delta-content)
  (flush))
(defmethod handle-event :copilot/assistant.message [_] (println))

(run! handle-event (h/query-seq! "Tell me a joke" :session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                                              :model "gpt-5.2" :streaming? true}))

---

Example 3: Tool Integration (tool_integration.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: Custom tools, tool handlers, result types

Shows how to let the LLM call back into your application when it needs capabilities you provide.

What It Demonstrates

• Defining tools with define-tool
• JSON Schema parameters for type-safe tool inputs
• Handler functions that execute when tools are invoked
• Different result types: result-success, result-failure
• Overriding built-in tools with :overrides-built-in-tool

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X tool-integration/run
clojure -A:examples -X tool-integration/run :languages '["clojure" "haskell"]'

Code Walkthrough

(require '[github.copilot-sdk :as copilot])
(require '[github.copilot-sdk.helpers :as h])

;; Define a tool with handler
(def lookup-tool
  (copilot/define-tool "lookup_language"
    {:description "Look up information about a programming language"
     :parameters {:type "object"
                  :properties {:language {:type "string"
                                          :description "Language name"}}
                  :required ["language"]}
     :handler (fn [args invocation]
                ;; args = {:language "clojure"}
                ;; invocation = full invocation context
                (let [lang (-> args :language str/lower-case)
                      info (get knowledge-base lang)]
                  (if info
                    (copilot/result-success info)
                    (copilot/result-failure 
                      (str "No info for: " lang)
                      "not found"))))}))

;; Create session with tools and use query
(copilot/with-client-session [session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                       :model "claude-haiku-4.5"
                                       :tools [lookup-tool]}]
  (println (h/query "Tell me about Clojure using the lookup tool" :session session)))

Tool Result Types

;; Success - return data to the LLM
(copilot/result-success "The answer is 42")

;; Failure - tell LLM the operation failed
(copilot/result-failure "Could not connect to database" "connection timeout")

;; Denied - permission was denied
(copilot/result-denied "User declined permission")

;; Rejected - tool invocation was invalid
(copilot/result-rejected "Invalid parameters")

Overriding Built-In Tools

You can override built-in tools (like grep or edit_file) with custom implementations by setting :overrides-built-in-tool true:

(def custom-grep
  (copilot/define-tool "grep"
    {:description "Project-aware grep that only searches source files"
     :overrides-built-in-tool true
     :parameters {:type "object"
                  :properties {:query {:type "string"
                                       :description "Search pattern"}}
                  :required ["query"]}
     :handler (fn [{:keys [query]} _]
                (copilot/result-success (str "Custom grep for: " query)))}))

(copilot/with-client-session [session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                       :tools [custom-grep]}]
  (println (h/query "Search for 'defn' in the project" :session session)))

Without :overrides-built-in-tool true, defining a tool whose name clashes with a built-in tool causes an error.

Example 4: Multi-Agent Orchestration (multi_agent.clj)

Difficulty: Advanced
Concepts: Multiple sessions, core.async, concurrent operations, agent coordination

Demonstrates a sophisticated pattern where multiple specialized agents collaborate using core.async channels for coordination.

What It Demonstrates

• Creating multiple sessions with different system prompts (personas)
• Using core.async channels for concurrent operations
• Parallel research queries with go blocks
• Sequential pipeline: Research → Analysis → Synthesis
• Coordinating results from multiple async operations

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X multi-agent/run

Example 5: Config, Skills, and Large Output (config_skill_output.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: config-dir overrides, skill directories, disabling skills, large tool output settings

Shows how to:

• set a custom config directory
• provide additional skill directories
• disable specific skills by name
• configure large tool output handling with a custom tool

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X config-skill-output/run

---

Example 6: Metadata API (metadata_api.clj)

Difficulty: Beginner
Concepts: list-sessions, list-tools, get-quota, get-current-model, switch-model

Demonstrates the metadata API functions introduced in v0.1.24 for inspecting available tools, quota information, and dynamically switching models within a session.

What It Demonstrates

• list-sessions with context filtering (by repository, branch, cwd)
• list-tools to enumerate available tools, with optional model-specific overrides
• get-quota to check account usage and entitlements
• get-current-model to inspect the session's current model
• switch-model! to change the model mid-conversation while maintaining context

Usage

# Run the metadata API demo
clojure -A:examples -X metadata-api/run

Key Points

• list-sessions: Filter sessions by context (:repository, :branch, :cwd, :git-root)
• list-tools: Get tool metadata; pass a model ID for model-specific tool lists
• get-quota: Returns a map of quota type to snapshot (entitlement, used, remaining %)
• switch-model!: Change models dynamically without losing conversation context

Note: Some methods (tools.list, account.getQuota, session.model.*) may not be supported by all CLI versions. The example gracefully skips unsupported operations.

---

Example 7: Permission Handling (permission_bash.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: permission requests, bash tool, approval callback, deny-by-default

The SDK requires an :on-permission-request handler in every session config. Use copilot/approve-all for blanket approval, or provide a custom handler for fine-grained control.

Shows how to:

• handle permission.request via :on-permission-request
• invoke the built-in shell tool with allow/deny decisions
• log the full permission request payload for inspection

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X permission-bash/run

---

Example 8: Session Events Monitoring (session_events.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: Event handling, session lifecycle, state management

Demonstrates how to monitor and handle session state events for debugging, logging, or building custom UIs.

What It Demonstrates

• Monitoring session lifecycle events (start, resume, idle, error)
• Tracking context management events (truncation, compaction)
• Observing usage metrics (token counts, limits)
• Handling session.snapshot_rewind events (state rollback)
• Formatting events for human-readable display

Session State Events

Event	Description
session.start	Session created (note: fires before you can subscribe)
session.resume	Existing session resumed
session.idle	Session ready for input
session.error	Error occurred
session.usage_info	Token usage metrics
session.truncation	Context window truncated
session.compaction_start/complete	Infinite sessions compaction
session.snapshot_rewind	Session state rolled back
session.model_change	Model switched
session.handoff	Session handed off

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X session-events/run
clojure -A:examples -X session-events/run :prompt '"Explain recursion."'

    (tap (copilot/events session) events-ch)
    (go-loop []
      (when-let [event (<! events-ch)]
        ;; Log session state events
        (when (session-state-events (:type event))
          (println "Session event:" (:type event) (:data event)))
        ;; Handle completion
        (when (= :copilot/session.idle (:type event))
          (deliver done true))
        (recur)))
    (copilot/send! session {:prompt "Hello"})
    @done))

---

Example 9: User Input Handling (user_input.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: User input requests, ask_user tool, interactive sessions

Demonstrates how to handle ask_user requests when the agent needs clarification or input from the user.

What It Demonstrates

• Registering an :on-user-input-request handler
• Responding to questions with choices or freeform input
• Interactive decision-making workflows

Usage

# Full interactive example
clojure -A:examples -X user-input/run

# Simpler yes/no example

Example 11: MCP Local Server (mcp_local_server.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: MCP servers, external tools, filesystem access

Shows how to integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to extend the assistant's capabilities with external tools.

What It Demonstrates

• Configuring :mcp-servers with a local stdio server
• Using the @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem MCP server
• Combining MCP server tools with custom tools
• Using copilot/approve-all to permit MCP tool execution (deny-by-default)

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npx installed (for the filesystem MCP server)

# With custom directory
clojure -A:examples -X mcp-local-server/run :allowed-dir '"/home/user/docs"'

# MCP + custom tools combined
clojure -A:examples -X mcp-local-server/run-with-custom-tools

See doc/mcp/overview.md for full MCP documentation.

---

Example 12: File Attachments (file_attachments.clj)

Difficulty: Beginner
Concepts: File attachments, message options

Attach files to a prompt so the model can analyze their contents.

What It Demonstrates

• Sending :attachments in message options with send-and-wait!
• File attachment type: {:type :file :path "/absolute/path"}
• Resolving relative paths to absolute with java.io.File

Usage

# Attach and analyze deps.edn (default)
clojure -A:examples -X file-attachments/run

---

Example 13: Session Resume (session_resume.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: Session persistence, session resume, multi-session lifecycle

Resume a previous session by ID to continue a conversation with preserved context.

What It Demonstrates

• Creating a session and sending a message to store context
• Retrieving the session ID from the session map
• Resuming a session with copilot/resume-session
• Verifying context is preserved across resume
• Manual session lifecycle with with-client (ensures stop!/session cleanup), create-session, resume-session

Usage

# Default: remembers "PINEAPPLE"
clojure -A:examples -X session-resume/run

# Custom secret word
clojure -A:examples -X session-resume/run :secret-word '"MANGO"'

---

Example 14: Infinite Sessions (infinite_sessions.clj)

Concepts: Infinite sessions, context compaction, long conversations

Enable infinite sessions so the SDK automatically compacts older messages when the context window fills up.

What It Demonstrates

• Configuring :infinite-sessions with compaction thresholds
• :background-compaction-threshold — when background compaction starts (80%)
• :buffer-exhaustion-threshold — when urgent compaction triggers (95%)
• Sending multiple prompts in a long-running session

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X infinite-sessions/run

# Custom prompts
clojure -A:examples -X infinite-sessions/run :prompts '["What is Clojure?" "Who created it?" "When?"]'

---

Example 15: Lifecycle Hooks (lifecycle_hooks.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: Hooks, callbacks, tool use monitoring

Register callbacks for session lifecycle events: start/end, tool use, prompts, and errors.

What It Demonstrates

• Configuring :hooks in session config with all 6 hook types
• :on-session-start — fires when session begins
• :on-session-end — fires when session ends
• :on-pre-tool-use — fires before a tool runs (return {:approved true} to allow)
• :on-post-tool-use — fires after a tool completes
• :on-user-prompt-submitted — fires when user sends a prompt
• :on-error-occurred — fires on errors
• Collecting and summarizing hook events

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X lifecycle-hooks/run

# Custom prompt
clojure -A:examples -X lifecycle-hooks/run :prompt '"List all .md files using glob"'

---

Example 16: Reasoning Effort (reasoning_effort.clj)

Difficulty: Beginner
Concepts: Reasoning effort, model configuration

Control how much reasoning the model applies with the :reasoning-effort option.

What It Demonstrates

• Setting :reasoning-effort in session config
• Valid values: "low", "medium", "high", "xhigh"
• Lower effort produces faster, more concise responses

Usage

# Default: low reasoning effort
clojure -A:examples -X reasoning-effort/run

# Higher reasoning effort
clojure -A:examples -X reasoning-effort/run :effort '"high"'

Example 17: Ask User Failure (ask_user_failure.clj)

Difficulty: Intermediate
Concepts: User input cancellation, ask_user tool, error handling, event tracing

Demonstrates what happens when a user cancels an ask_user request (simulating pressing Esc). This is a 1:1 port of the upstream basic-example.ts.

What It Demonstrates

• Handling user cancellation by throwing from :on-user-input-request
• Event tracing: subscribing to all events via tap on the session events mult
• Graceful degradation when the user skips a question
• Full event stream logging for debugging

Usage

clojure -A:examples -X ask-user-failure/run

Code Walkthrough

(require '[clojure.core.async :refer [chan tap go-loop <!]])
(require '[github.copilot-sdk :as copilot])

;; Track cancelled requests
(let [cancelled-requests (atom [])]
  (copilot/with-client [client]
    (copilot/with-session [session client
                           {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                            :model "claude-haiku-4.5"
                            :on-user-input-request
                            (fn [request _invocation]
                              (swap! cancelled-requests conj request)
                              ;; Throwing simulates Esc — the SDK sends a failure
                              ;; result back to the ask_user tool automatically.
                              (throw (RuntimeException. "User skipped question")))}]
      ;; Subscribe to all events for tracing
      (let [events-ch (chan 256)]
        (tap (copilot/events session) events-ch)
        (go-loop []
          (when-let [event (<! events-ch)]
            (println event)
            (recur)))

        (let [result (copilot/send-and-wait! session
                       {:prompt "Use the ask_user tool to ask me to pick between 'Red' and 'Blue'."})]
          (println "Response:" (get-in result [:data :content])))))))

Clojure vs JavaScript Comparison

Here's how common patterns compare between the Clojure and JavaScript SDKs:

Client Creation

JavaScript:

import { CopilotClient } from "@github/copilot-sdk";
const client = new CopilotClient({ logLevel: "info" });
await client.start();

Clojure:

(require '[github.copilot-sdk :as copilot])
(copilot/with-client [client]
  ;; use client
  )

Simple Query (Helpers)

JavaScript:

// No direct equivalent - must create client/session

Clojure:

(require '[github.copilot-sdk.helpers :as h])
(h/query "What is 2+2?" :session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                   :model "claude-haiku-4.5"})
;; => "4"

Event Handling

JavaScript:

session.on((event) => {
  if (event.type === "assistant.message") {
    console.log(event.data.content);
  }
});

Clojure:

;; Using helpers with multimethod dispatch
(defmulti handle-event :type)
(defmethod handle-event :copilot/assistant.message [{{:keys [content]} :data}]
  (println content))

(run! handle-event (h/query-seq! "Hello" :session {:on-permission-request copilot/approve-all
                                                    :model "gpt-5.2" :streaming? true}))

Tool Definition

JavaScript:

import { z } from "zod";
import { defineTool } from "@github/copilot-sdk";

defineTool("lookup", {
  description: "Look up data",
  parameters: z.object({ id: z.string() }),
  handler: async ({ id }) => fetchData(id)
});

Clojure:

(copilot/define-tool "lookup"
  {:description "Look up data"
   :parameters {:type "object"
                :properties {:id {:type "string"}}
                :required ["id"]}
   :handler (fn [{:keys [id]} _] 
              (fetch-data id))})

Async Patterns

JavaScript (Promises):

const response = await session.sendAndWait({ prompt: "Hello" });

Clojure (Blocking):

(def response (copilot/send-and-wait! session {:prompt "Hello"}))

Clojure (core.async):

(go
  (let [ch (copilot/send-async session {:prompt "Hello"})]
    (loop []
      (when-let [event (<! ch)]
        (println event)
        (recur)))))

Troubleshooting

"Connection refused" errors

Ensure the Copilot CLI is installed and accessible:

copilot --version
# Or check your custom path
$COPILOT_CLI_PATH --version

Timeout errors

Increase the timeout for complex queries:

(copilot/send-and-wait! session {:prompt "Complex question"} 300000) ; 5 minutes

Tool not being called

Ensure your prompt explicitly mentions the tool or its capability:

;; Less likely to trigger tool:
{:prompt "Tell me about Clojure"}

;; More likely to trigger tool:
{:prompt "Use the lookup_language tool to tell me about Clojure"}

Memory issues with many sessions

Clean up sessions when done:

(copilot/disconnect! session)

And periodically list/delete orphaned sessions:

(doseq [s (copilot/list-sessions client)]
  (copilot/delete-session! client (:session-id s)))
