What's New

Reviewed CLI changelog for versions released in the past 7 days (v1.0.16–v1.0.21, 2026-04-02 through 2026-04-07) and updated four Learning Hub pages with features not yet documented.


New Features Found

Version Feature
v1.0.21 copilot mcp terminal command for managing MCP servers outside interactive sessions
v1.0.21 Hooks with PascalCase event names now receive VS Code-compatible snake_case payloads (hook_event_name, session_id, ISO 8601 timestamps)
v1.0.20 OpenTelemetry monitoring — copilot help monitoring topic (minor, not yet significant enough for a page)
v1.0.18 Critic agent — auto-reviews plans and complex implementations using a complementary model (experimental, Claude only)
v1.0.18 notification hook event — fires asynchronously on shell completion, permission prompts, elicitation dialogs, and agent completion
v1.0.18 preToolUse permissionDecision response values: "allow" suppresses the tool approval prompt; "ask" raises a PermissionRequest event
v1.0.16 PermissionRequest hook event — programmatically approve or deny tool permission requests
v1.0.17 Built-in skills now ship with the CLI (starting with a guide for customizing the coding agent's cloud environment)

Sections Updated

automating-with-hooks.md

  • Added notification and PermissionRequest to the Hook Events table
  • Added preToolUse permissionDecision output table (allow, ask, non-zero)
  • Extended the Cross-Platform Event Name section with the new PascalCase snake_case payload note
  • Added a new "Asynchronous Notifications with the notification Hook" practical example showing the async vs. synchronous distinction

understanding-mcp-servers.md

  • Added "Managing MCP Servers from the Terminal" section documenting the new gh copilot mcp command and how it complements in-session /mcp slash commands

creating-effective-skills.md

  • Added Q&A entry explaining that the CLI now ships built-in skills (v1.0.17+) and what the first built-in skill covers

using-copilot-coding-agent.md

  • Added "Critic Agent (Experimental)" section explaining the new auto-review step for plans, how it works, and when it activates
