Installation

After your purchase, you will receive a download link for the plugin. Download the ZIP file and extract it to your site/plugins folder. It should look like this:

site/plugins/
├─ kirby-copilot/
│  └─ … All plugin files

Composer v1.5.1+

The recommended way to install the plugin is via Composer. Since it's not available through Packagist, you will need to connect to our private repository repo.kirby.tools and authenticate your package download. Authentication is done via a license code that you can get from the Kirby Tools Hub after your purchase.

To get access to the private repository and enable Composer installs, follow these steps:

Go to hub.kirby.tools. Log in with the email you used for the purchase and the order number.
After successful login, a license code will be displayed next to the Composer repository configuration and a CLI command.
Copy and paste the Composer configuration into your composer.json file. This will enable Composer to resolve our plugins. Your composer.json file should include this repository item:
composer.json
```
{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://repo.kirby.tools"
    }
  ]
}
```
Copy and run the Composer CLI command, which will generate an auth.json file for you, a Composer standard for authenticating against private repositories. Composer will send your license key (or license keys if you have purchased multiple plugins) as a bearer token with each request to repo.kirby.tools. As an alternative to running the command, you can create the file yourself. An auth.json file should look like this:
auth.json
```
{
  "bearer": {
    "repo.kirby.tools": "KT1-gd9Ymx30rM-ylZ3h6yF3l"
  }
}
```

To install multiple plugins in one Kirby project, add all required license codes to your local auth.json file. Separate each license code with a comma, e.g:

auth.json

{
  "bearer": {
    "repo.kirby.tools": "KT1-A, KT1-B"
  }
}

The license code is unique to your purchase and should be kept private. We recommend to exclude it from version control by adding it to your .gitignore file.

The Kirby Tools Composer repository is now set up. You can install the plugin by running the following command in your terminal:

composer require johannschopplich/kirby-copilot

Last but not least, you can manage Kirby Copilot like any other plugin, for example, download updates:

composer update

Step 2: AI Provider Configuration

Configure the AI provider by setting the API key and AI model in the global Kirby configuration. Each provider has its own configuration key. To get started with OpenAI, create a new OpenAI API key and add it to the configuration along with the AI model such as GPT-4 Turbo:

config.php

return [
    'johannschopplich.copilot' => [
        'providers' => [
            'openai' => [
                'model' => 'gpt-4-turbo',
                'apiKey' => 'YOUR_API_KEY'
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

We recommend to create a unique API key for each project. This way, you can easily revoke access to the API key if needed.

Step 3: Blueprint Setup

To display the Copilot section in the Kirby Panel, add a section of type copilot to your blueprint:

pages/default.yml

sections:
  copilot:
    type: copilot
    field: blocks

The only required section property is field. This is the target field of the Kirby model that will be used to write the generated text to.

Supported field types are blocks, writer, textarea and text. Other field types will be added in the future if there is enough demand.

After adding the section, you can start using the plugin in the Kirby Panel. The accordion will be closed by default:

Click on the arrow to open the accordion and start entering your prompt:
