Agent Framework Daily Updates

Automated daily tracking of Microsoft Agent Framework changes using GitHub Copilot CLI and GitHub Copilot SDK.

Overview

This project automatically analyzes merged Pull Requests from Microsoft Agent Framework repository and generates comprehensive blog posts summarizing the changes. It leverages the power of GitHub Copilot to understand code changes and produce high-quality technical content.

How It Works

Architecture

GitHub Action Workflow Steps

The workflow (.github/workflows/daily-pr-analysis.yml) runs Monday to Friday at UTC 00:00:

Step	Action	Description
1	Checkout repository	Clone the repository using actions/checkout@v4
2	Setup Node.js	Configure Node.js 22 environment for Copilot CLI
3	Install GitHub Copilot CLI	Install via npm i -g @github/copilot
4	Setup Python	Configure Python 3.11 environment
5	Install Python dependencies	Install github-copilot-sdk package
6	Run PR Analysis	Execute pr_trigger_v2.py with Copilot authentication
7	Commit and push	Auto-commit generated blog posts to repository

Key Components

1. GitHub Copilot CLI (@github/copilot)

The command-line interface that provides AI capabilities in CI/CD pipelines:

npm i -g @github/copilot

2. GitHub Copilot SDK (github-copilot-sdk)

Python SDK for programmatic interaction with GitHub Copilot:

from copilot import CopilotClient

client = CopilotClient()
await client.start()

session = await client.create_session({
    "model": "claude-sonnet-4.5",
    "streaming": True,
    "skill_directories": ["./.copilot_skills/pr-analyzer/SKILL.md"]
})

await session.send_and_wait({"prompt": "Analyze PRs from microsoft/agent-framework merged yesterday"})

3. Copilot Skill Definition

The skill file (.copilot_skills/pr-analyzer/SKILL.md) defines:

• PR analysis behavior
• Blog post structure
• Breaking changes priority
• Code snippet extraction rules

Setup

Prerequisites

• GitHub Copilot subscription with CLI access
• Repository with Actions enabled

Configuration

1. Create a Fine-grained Personal Access Token (PAT)

   • Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens
   • Create token with Copilot Requests: Read permission

2. Add Repository Secret

   • Navigate to repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
   • Add new secret: COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN with your PAT value

3. Enable Workflow

   • The workflow runs automatically on schedule
   • Manual trigger available via "Run workflow" button in Actions tab

Output

Generated blog posts are saved to the blog/ directory with naming convention:

blog/agent-framework-pr-summary-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md

Blog Post Structure

Each generated post includes:

1. Breaking Changes (highlighted first)
2. Major Updates with code examples
3. Minor Updates and Bug Fixes
4. Summary and impact assessment

Manual Trigger

You can manually trigger the workflow:

gh workflow run daily-pr-analysis.yml

Or via GitHub UI: Actions → Daily PR Analysis → Run workflow
