# SkillOpt-Sleep — GitHub Copilot integration
|
|
|
|
Give **Copilot** (CLI or VS Code) a nightly **sleep cycle** via a tiny **MCP
|
|
server** that exposes the `skillopt_sleep` engine as tools. MCP is GitHub's
|
|
supported way to extend Copilot, so this works across Copilot CLI, VS Code, and
|
|
other MCP clients with the same server.
|
|
|
|
## What's here
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `mcp_server.py` | stdlib-only MCP (stdio) server exposing `sleep_*` tools |
|
|
| `mcp-config.example.json` | drop-in MCP server config |
|
|
| `copilot-instructions.snippet.md` | paste into `.github/copilot-instructions.md` |
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Requires Python ≥ 3.10. No third-party packages — the server is pure stdlib.
|
|
|
|
1. **Register the MCP server.** Add the server to your Copilot MCP config
|
|
(Copilot CLI: `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json`; VS Code: your MCP settings).
|
|
Use `mcp-config.example.json` as a template — set `SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO` to
|
|
this repo's path:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"skillopt-sleep": {
|
|
"command": "python3",
|
|
"args": ["/abs/path/SkillOpt/plugins/copilot/mcp_server.py"],
|
|
"env": { "SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO": "/abs/path/SkillOpt" }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **(Optional) Tell Copilot about it.** Append
|
|
`copilot-instructions.snippet.md` to your repo's
|
|
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` so Copilot reaches for the tools when the
|
|
user asks to "run the sleep cycle".
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
Ask Copilot things like *"run the sleep cycle"*, *"what did the last sleep
|
|
propose?"*, *"adopt the staged sleep proposal"*. The server exposes seven MCP
|
|
tools: `sleep_status`, `sleep_dry_run`, `sleep_run`, `sleep_adopt`,
|
|
`sleep_harvest`, `sleep_schedule`, and `sleep_unschedule`.
|
|
|
|
Each tool takes optional `project`, `backend` (`mock`/`claude`/`codex`/`copilot`), and
|
|
`scope` arguments. Default backend is `mock` (no API spend). The `copilot`
|
|
backend drives the GitHub Copilot CLI (`copilot -p ... --output-format json`)
|
|
and requires the `copilot` CLI to be installed and authenticated.
|
|
|
|
Harvesting is local and read-only, and the default `mock` backend makes no
|
|
provider calls. A real backend sends truncated transcript excerpts and derived
|
|
tasks to the selected provider. Outbound prompts are not currently guaranteed
|
|
to be secret-free; review sensitive data and provider policy first. See the
|
|
[shared data-boundary guidance](../README.md#data-boundary).
|
|
|
|
For speed, the `copilot` backend runs each call against an isolated
|
|
`COPILOT_HOME` with built-in MCP servers and custom instructions disabled, so
|
|
your user MCP servers (including this project's own) are not spawned per call
|
|
(~5x faster). Override with `SKILLOPT_SLEEP_COPILOT_HOME=<dir>`, pick a model
|
|
with `SKILLOPT_SLEEP_COPILOT_MODEL`, or set `SKILLOPT_SLEEP_COPILOT_FULL_ENV=1`
|
|
to use your real Copilot environment instead.
|
|
|
|
## Verify the server directly (no Copilot needed)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
printf '%s\n' \
|
|
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' \
|
|
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}' \
|
|
| SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO="$(pwd)" python3 plugins/copilot/mcp_server.py
|
|
```
|
|
You should see the server info and all seven `sleep_*` tools.
|
|
|
|
## Notes / status
|
|
|
|
- MCP is the stable, official Copilot extension surface, so this is the most
|
|
portable shared-engine integration (one server → CLI + IDE).
|
|
- The MCP schema exposes the main CLI's implemented controls, including task and
|
|
session caps, target-skill selection, scheduling, and staged adoption. It does
|
|
not add experiment-only gate, rollout, token/time-budget, or optimizer/target
|
|
split flags. See the [shared CLI reference](../README.md#supported-cli-surface).
