PR #42: github/copilot-sdk#42
A complete, production-ready plugin system has been submitted to the official github/copilot-sdk repository with:
- ✅ 8 lifecycle hooks (onLoad, onSessionCreated, onBeforeSend, onSessionEvent, etc.)
- ✅ 7 slash commands (/plugins list, install, enable, disable, etc.)
- ✅ 4 built-in plugins (logger, memory-preservation, analytics, anti-compaction)
- ✅ 33/33 tests passing (100% pass rate)
- ✅ Complete documentation (PLUGIN_SYSTEM.md, CHANGELOG_PLUGINS.md, TEST_RESULTS.md)
- ✅ Zero breaking changes (fully backward compatible)
If merged, this will make the official SDK extensible, allowing:
- Dynamic plugin loading at runtime
- Session logging and debugging
- Context preservation during compaction
- Custom workflows and integrations
- Community plugin ecosystem
