What's New

Checked the Copilot CLI changelog for the past 7 days (releases v1.0.15 through v1.0.20). Most recent additions — /share html, /allow-all [on|off|show], /mcp auth, /mcp enable//mcp disable persisting across sessions, /rewind timeline picker, and built-in skills — are already documented in the course.

One new beginner-relevant feature was missing:

Critic agent (introduced in v1.0.18, April 4 2026):

New Critic agent automatically reviews plans and complex implementations using a complementary model to catch errors early (available in experimental mode for Claude models)

What Was Updated

Chapter 04: Agents and Custom Instructions (04-agents-custom-instructions/README.md):

  • Added Critic row to the Built-in Agents table
  • Added a plain-English explanation of how the Critic agent works alongside /plan, written for beginners
  • Noted that it is experimental and requires Claude models

Document the new Critic built-in agent (introduced in v1.0.18) in
Chapter 04's Built-in Agents table and explain how it works for
beginners using the /plan command.
