Turn GitHub Copilot into an A2A-Compliant Agent in Under 5 Minutes

GitHub Copilot is one of the most capable AI coding agents available today. But out of the box, it's only accessible through VS Code, GitHub.com, or the Copilot SDK embedded in your own application. What if you could expose Copilot as an independent, discoverable agent one that any A2A orchestrator or AI framework can call, without any Copilot-specific integration code? That's exactly what a2a-copilot does. GitHub: https://github.com/shashikanth-gs/a2a-copilot npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/a2a-copilot What is A2A? The A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol is an open standard for agent interoperability. It defines how agents: Advertise capabilities via Agent Cards ( /.well-known/agent-card.json ) Accept tasks via JSON-RPC and REST Stream responses via SSE Maintain task lifecycle (submitted → working → completed) When an agent speaks A2A, any orchestrator that understands the protocol can discover and call it without knowing anything about the agent's internals.
