Claude Code added a new /deep-research <question> workflow command and a /share alias for /feedback, plus an optional [name] arg on /clear. These need to be reflected in the compatibility layer, with attention to the /share naming collision against Copilot CLI's session-export command.

Changes

  • cpc — Extended the help text's "Slash command note" with /deep-research → /research (best-effort; differing research pipelines) and a warning that Claude Code's /feedback alias /share is not Copilot CLI's /share (session export).
  • skills/claude-compat/SKILL.md — Added a /deep-research <question>/research [TOPIC] row to the Renamed Commands table, plus Note: entries for the /share alias collision, the /clear [name] vs /clear [PROMPT] semantic difference, and the best-effort /deep-research mapping.
  • README.md — Added a /deep-research quick-reference row, annotated /clear with its divergent optional-arg semantics, and expanded Limitations to cover the /share alias ambiguity and /deep-research.

Mapping rationale

/deep-research and /research differ in their source pipelines (Claude Code fans out web searches; Copilot uses GitHub + web), so it's documented as best-effort rather than an exact equivalent. /share is intentionally not remapped — the name collides but the semantics diverge (feedback submission vs. session export), so the ambiguity is documented instead.

Since cpc translates CLI arguments (slash commands are in-session only), these are surfaced through help text and the mapping tables, consistent with the existing /btw → /ask handling.

Pull request overview

Updates the compatibility-layer documentation to reflect new Claude Code workflow/alias behavior, especially the best-effort mapping of /deep-research and the naming collision between Claude Code’s /share (alias of /feedback) and Copilot CLI’s /share (session export).

Changes:

  • Documented /deep-research <question>/research as a best-effort translation (different research pipelines).
  • Documented the /share alias ambiguity (/feedback alias in Claude Code vs session export in Copilot CLI) and clarified /clear optional-arg semantic differences.
  • Extended cpc help output and refreshed mapping tables/limitations to surface these differences in the primary user-facing docs.

Claude Code /feedback alias /share differs from Copilot CLI /share (which
exports the session: /share [file|html|gist] ...) — same name, different action
