* Fix review comments on SDK permission handling PR

Address 5 review comments from PR #1103:

1. Fix invalid object literal syntax (stray comma) in resumeSession
   example in copilot-sdk-nodejs.instructions.md

2. Replace unused PermissionHandler import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/python/recipe/ralph_loop.py (was using
   inline lambda instead)

3. Replace unused approveAll import with actual usage in
   cookbook/copilot-sdk/nodejs/recipe/ralph-loop.ts (was using
   inline handler instead)

4. Add missing PermissionHandler import to 4 Python code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

5. Add missing approveAll import to 3 TypeScript code snippets
   in skills/copilot-sdk/SKILL.md that reference it without importing

* Refactor session creation to improve code formatting and consistency across SDK examples

* Fix formatting: split multi-property lines and put closing braces on own lines

Address review comments on PR #1107:
- Split OnPermissionRequest + Model onto separate lines in Go, C#, TypeScript
- Put closing }); on its own line consistently across all examples
- Fix indentation in SKILL.md Quick Start, CLI URL, Error Handling sections
- Fix cookbook Go multiple-sessions and error-handling formatting
- Fix ralph-loop.md TypeScript indentation

Runnable Recipe Examples

This folder contains standalone, executable Python examples for each cookbook recipe. Each file can be run directly as a Python script.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or later
  • Install dependencies (this installs the SDK from PyPI):
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running Examples

Each .py file is a complete, runnable program with executable permissions:

python <filename>.py
# or on Unix-like systems:
./<filename>.py

Available Recipes

Recipe Command Description
Error Handling python error_handling.py Demonstrates error handling patterns
Multiple Sessions python multiple_sessions.py Manages multiple independent conversations
Managing Local Files python managing_local_files.py Organizes files using AI grouping
PR Visualization python pr_visualization.py Generates PR age charts
Persisting Sessions python persisting_sessions.py Save and resume sessions across restarts

Examples with Arguments

PR Visualization with specific repo:

python pr_visualization.py --repo github/copilot-sdk

Managing Local Files (edit the file to change target folder):

# Edit the target_folder variable in managing_local_files.py first
python managing_local_files.py

Local SDK Development

The requirements.txt installs the Copilot SDK package from PyPI. This means:

  • You get the latest stable release of the SDK
  • No need to build from source
  • Perfect for using the SDK in your projects

If you want to use a local development version, edit requirements.txt to use -e ../.. for editable mode development.

Python Best Practices

These examples follow Python conventions:

  • PEP 8 naming (snake_case for functions and variables)
  • Shebang line for direct execution
  • Proper exception handling
  • Type hints where appropriate
  • Standard library usage

For isolated development:

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate it
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# Unix/macOS:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
