GitHub Copilot SDK demo: Creating "Flight School"
Chris Reddington demonstrates “Flight School,” a custom Next.js application built to personalize his learning journey using the GitHub Copilot SDK.
Key topics covered:
- Agentic workflows — leveraging the Copilot SDK to generate daily coding challenges based on a GitHub profile
- AI-powered evaluation — evaluating solutions against test cases with automated feedback
- Project export — automatically exporting completed projects to new GitHub repositories
- Personalized learning — habit tracking, dynamic learning topics, real-time skill customization, and integration with the GitHub MCP server for enhanced developer growth

Rubber Duck Thursdays - Let's build with GitHub Copilot SDK
GitHub
Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. This week we explore how to bring the power of GitHub Copilot into your apps with the GitHub Copilot SDK, building hands-on examples and discussing patterns for integrating AI-powered coding assistance directly into developer tools and workflows.
Rubber Duck Thursdays - It's time to build!
GitHubChris showcases Timestamp, an open-source countdown timer app built with vanilla TypeScript featuring an extensible theme system, world map wall clock, and 2500+ unit tests with 300+ Playwright end-to-end tests. He deep-dives into structuring GitHub Copilot custom instructions vs agents vs prompt files, demonstrates manager-specialist agent patterns, and walks through GitHub Actions automation for issue forms and theme scaffolding.
Rubber Duck Thursdays - Let's build our way into 2026!
GitHubChris builds a New Year countdown app from scratch using Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, leveraging GitHub Copilot's Plan agent for iterative requirements and a custom UI Performance Specialist agent. The stream covers adding time zone support with a world map, a fireworks celebration theme using fireworks.js, and a test-driven development approach.
