GitHub Copilot is now available in the AI SDK harness layer
GitHub Copilot joins a unified agent harness—now 10+ coding agents run on the same interface without code changes.
Why it matters
The AI SDK harness layer is standardizing how developers integrate multiple coding agents, reducing lock-in and letting teams switch tools mid-project. This is early infrastructure for agent interoperability in the IDE.
