Restructure into plugins/{claude-code,codex,copilot}/ — one engine, three thin
shells, all calling the shared plugins/run-sleep.sh -> python -m skillopt_sleep.
- claude-code/: existing plugin moved here; runner delegates to the shared
launcher (fixes repo-root resolution after the move).
- codex/: ~/.codex/prompts/sleep.md custom prompt + ~/.agents/skills SKILL.md +
install.sh + AGENTS.md hint — Codex's documented, stable extension surfaces.
- copilot/: a stdlib-only MCP server (mcp_server.py) exposing sleep_* tools,
plus mcp-config.example.json and a copilot-instructions snippet. Verified end
to end (initialize -> tools/list -> tools/call returns real engine output).
- plugins/README.md overview table; main README News + a dedicated SkillOpt-Sleep
section; pyproject lists skillopt_sleep as a first-class package.
Decoupling emphasized throughout: open-source tool (skillopt_sleep/) with zero
dependency on the research package. 29 tests pass; all three shells resolve.

SkillOpt-Sleep — GitHub Copilot integration
Give Copilot (CLI or VS Code) a nightly sleep cycle via a tiny MCP
server that exposes the skillopt_sleep engine as tools. MCP is GitHub's
supported way to extend Copilot, so this works across Copilot CLI, VS Code, and
other MCP clients with the same server.
What's here
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
mcp_server.py |
stdlib-only MCP (stdio) server exposing sleep_* tools |
mcp-config.example.json |
drop-in MCP server config |
copilot-instructions.snippet.md |
paste into .github/copilot-instructions.md |
Install
Requires Python ≥ 3.10. No third-party packages — the server is pure stdlib.
-
Register the MCP server. Add the server to your Copilot MCP config (Copilot CLI:
~/.copilot/mcp-config.json; VS Code: your MCP settings). Usemcp-config.example.jsonas a template — setSKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPOto this repo's path:{ "mcpServers": { "skillopt-sleep": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/abs/path/SkillOpt-Sleep/plugins/copilot/mcp_server.py"], "env": { "SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO": "/abs/path/SkillOpt-Sleep" } } } } -
(Optional) Tell Copilot about it. Append
copilot-instructions.snippet.mdto your repo's.github/copilot-instructions.mdso Copilot reaches for the tools when the user asks to "run the sleep cycle".
Use
Ask Copilot things like "run the sleep cycle", "what did the last sleep
propose?", "adopt the staged sleep proposal". Copilot calls the MCP tools:
sleep_status, sleep_dry_run, sleep_run, sleep_adopt, sleep_harvest.
Each tool takes optional project, backend (mock/claude/codex), and
scope arguments. Default backend is mock (no API spend).
Verify the server directly (no Copilot needed)
printf '%s\n' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}' \
| SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO="$(pwd)" python3 plugins/copilot/mcp_server.py
You should see the server info and the five sleep_* tools.
Notes / status
- MCP is the stable, official Copilot extension surface, so this is the most portable of the three integrations (one server → CLI + IDE).
- The engine and all its controls (gate on/off, multi-rollout, budget,
preferences, optimizer/target split) are identical across platforms — see
../../docs/sleep/CONTROLLABLE_DREAMING.md.
