The complete starter projects for the 30-minute SDK 101 workshop live here. Clone this workshop repository once, choose one language, and edit its entrypoint in place. There is no separate repository to clone or project to copy.

Complete preflight before the timed session. Authenticate with copilot auth login, change into start-intro/<language>, and open that folder in your editor (code . for VS Code). Stay in that folder for dependency and run commands.

The entrypoints intentionally contain placeholders. Open LIVE_DEMO.md beside your chosen entrypoint. Follow Act One's four edits: start the client, check authentication, create the session, and send hello world. Then follow Act Two to choose a model and episode, grant the session its capabilities, and replace the prompt.

The workshop website displays these same guide sections in its hello-world lesson and podcast lesson; it does not teach a different implementation. Those helpers include model and episode selection, typed RSS lookup tools, and interactive tool approval. Keep them unchanged during the workshop.

Dependencies and the available lockfiles are included. Smoke builds do not need Copilot authentication or a live prompt. Running the completed application needs Copilot access; the podcast workflow also needs access to the official RSS feed. Your in-place edits appear in git status, which is expected.

These starter sources and LIVE_DEMO.md guides were imported from jamesmontemagno/copilot-sdk-intro at revision f744ec6. The guides retain the source's two-act progression and four numbered hello-world edits. Local adaptations use this repository's paths, bound the completion waits, close SDK resources, restrict hello world to an empty tool allowlist, and supply the missing Java/Rust streaming subscriptions. Go keeps one subscription instead of printing each text fragment twice. Node.js lets the bounded send propagate session errors instead of throwing from a callback. Its RSS helper uses parser-based XML decoding and HTML-to-plain-text extraction, with regression tests for CDATA, entity decoding, and script/style exclusion. All six RSS helpers use finite ten-second network timeouts. Java rejects XML DOCTYPE declarations and external resources while reading namespaced duration metadata. Python and Rust recognize the SDK's custom-tool permission payloads; Rust reads approvals on a detached input thread so a turn timeout can still shut down the runtime. The upstream repository is attribution, not a setup requirement.
