What's new

Updates based on changes in the past 7 days across GitHub Copilot CLI and the Squad community project.


1. Personal skills directory (~/.agents/skills/) — CLI v1.0.11

Copilot CLI v1.0.11 (2026-03-23) added ~/.agents/skills/ as a personal skill discovery directory, aligning with VS Code's GHCP4A extension default.

Changes:

  • Skills section: updated the 📁 Location: line to mention both repo-level (.github/skills/) and personal (~/.agents/skills/) directories
  • Skills table: added a Personal skills row explaining the new path
  • Quick Reference file structure: added ~/.agents/skills/ entry

2. MCP org policy enforcement — CLI v1.0.11

Copilot CLI v1.0.11 enforces organization policy for third-party MCP servers for all users, and shows a warning when a server is blocked by the org allowlist.

Changes:

  • MCP section summary table: added Org policy row

3. Hooks in settings.json — CLI v1.0.8

Copilot CLI v1.0.8 (2026-03-18) added support for defining hooks directly in settings.json, settings.local.json, and config.json (in addition to the existing hooks.json file approach). Also, extension hooks from multiple extensions now merge rather than overwrite.

Changes:

  • Hooks Config notes: added two new bullet points explaining settings.json hook definitions and extension hook merging

4. Squad v0.9.x — Squad v0.9.0/v0.9.1

Squad released v0.9.0 and v0.9.1 on 2026-03-23. The guide previously referenced v0.8.x.

Changes:

  • Squad section: updated "What's new" heading from v0.8.x → v0.9.x
  • Added squad version subcommand to the CLI commands list and What's new bullets
  • Added release process hardening (preflight gate, npm pack dry-run) to What's new
