What's new

1. GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.4 (released 2026-03-11)

Hooks enhancements:

  • New "permission": "ask" field lets hooks pause and request user confirmation before executing — useful for destructive commands (e.g., database migrations)
  • New "disableAllHooks": true top-level flag to temporarily mute all hooks without removing them

Custom Agents:

  • Added note about the built-in configure-copilot sub-agent that helps bootstrap MCP servers, custom agents, and skills from within a session

Autopilot Mode:

  • Added --reasoning-effort low|medium|high CLI flag for tuning quality vs speed/cost tradeoff

Sources: v1.0.4 release notes


2. Squad v0.8.21–v0.8.25 (released 2026-03-07 to 2026-03-08)

SDK-First mode (v0.8.21) — major new capability not yet documented:

  • Define entire teams as type-safe TypeScript using builder functions: defineTeam(), defineAgent(), defineRouting(), defineCeremony(), defineHooks(), defineCasting(), defineTelemetry(), defineSquad()
  • Compile to .squad/ markdown with new squad build command; protected files (decisions.md, history.md) are never overwritten

Remote Squad Mode (v0.8.21):

  • squad init --mode remote — link a project to a shared team identity directory
  • squad link (path) — connect a project to a remote team root
  • squad doctor — 9-check setup validation (was already in CLI commands list but now documented as a Remote Squad Mode feature)

New CLI commands added to the command list:

  • squad build, squad migrate, squad link, squad rc

Updated section title from "v0.8.x" to "v0.8.21–v0.8.25" to be more specific.

Also added: Node 24+ ESM compatibility fix (critical for GitHub Codespaces users).

Sources: v0.8.21 · v0.8.22 · v0.8.23 · v0.8.24 · v0.8.25
