copilotkit-architecture

A map of the main parts of the CopilotKit library, including its React packages, runtime, JavaScript and Python software development kits, and shared utilities. It also defines terms such as copilots, actions, agents, and coagents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when navigating CopilotKit code or planning work across its React, JavaScript, and Python components. It is useful for locating examples, SDK integrations, and agent-related code.
Why use it?
It helps developers find the right package or concept when working in the repository. It gives a common structure for understanding how the user interface, backend runtime, and integrations fit together.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 477 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilotkit-architecture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CopilotKit Architecture Overview

Core Library Structure

The main CopilotKit library is located in CopilotKit/ with the following key packages:

React Packages

Runtime & SDK

Python SDK

  • sdk-python/ - Python SDK with integrations for:
    • CrewAI agents in crewai/
    • LangGraph integrations
    • OpenAI integrations in openai/

Key Concepts

  • Copilots: AI assistants that can read and write application state
  • Actions: Functions that copilots can call to interact with your application
  • Agents: Backend AI agents that process complex tasks
  • Coagents: Multi-agent systems for complex workflows

Examples Structure

All examples are in examples/ and typically follow this pattern:

  • agent/ or agent-py/ - Backend agent implementation
  • ui/ - Frontend Next.js application
  • README.md - Setup and usage instructions

Development Workflow

  • Examples use the local packages via workspace references
  • package.json contains workspace configuration
  • Scripts in scripts/ for development, testing, and releases
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

copilotkit-architecture is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository CopilotKit/CopilotKit (37,138 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 477 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
