What's new

Based on Copilot CLI releases v1.0.3 (2026-03-09), v1.0.4 (2026-03-11), and v1.0.5 (2026-03-13), plus Squad v0.8.25 (2026-03-08):

New features found

  1. CLI Extensions (v1.0.3, experimental) — Write custom tools and hooks in JS/TS against @github/copilot-sdk. Copilot can scaffold extensions for itself. /extensions command added in v1.0.5.
  2. /pr — PR Lifecycle Agent (v1.0.5) — New CLI slash command: create PRs, view status, fix failing CI, address review feedback, resolve merge conflicts.
  3. preCompact hook type (v1.0.5) — New hook that runs before context compaction; useful for saving state or summarizing before the context window shrinks.
  4. Hook disableAllHooks flag + ask permission (v1.0.4) — Config flags for disabling all hooks and requesting user confirmation before a hook runs.
  5. MCP from .devcontainer/devcontainer.json (v1.0.3) — The CLI now also reads MCP server config from devcontainer files.
  6. Squad v0.8.25 — Updated version reference in the Squad section.
