GitHub Blog: Building AI-Powered Issue Triage with the Copilot SDK in React Native

GitHub Blog·medium signal

GitHub published a detailed technical guide on integrating the Copilot SDK into a React Native app for AI-powered issue triage. The architecture uses a three-tier design: mobile client, Node.js backend running the SDK via JSON-RPC, and Copilot CLI. Key production patterns include structured prompting with issue metadata, graceful degradation to metadata-based summaries when AI fails, and client-side caching to eliminate redundant API calls. Supports BYOK authentication alongside GitHub Copilot subscriptions.
