copilot-explorer

Why we included this project

Copilot-Explorer opens up the client-side code of the GitHub Copilot VSCode extension. The author deobfuscated the bundled, minified extension and built a three-panel web viewer: a module-level dependency graph on the left, prettified source in the middle, and per-module metadata on the right. The most interesting modules carry manual annotations, and the rest were auto-named and categorized with codex, so you can follow the real prompt-extraction, completion, and telemetry logic instead of digging through webpack bundles. That makes it a useful reference for researchers, security reviewers, and developers curious about how a commercial coding assistant is built. The accompanying journal and blog post explain the findings in more depth. It is an exploration aid rather than a deployable product, and it targets a specific extension version, so treat it as a study tool for Copilot's client-side architecture.
