Copilot CLI Introduces Slash Command Controls
8.2
GitHub Copilot CLI adds slash commands that let developers perform explicit terminal actions—including /clear, /add-dir, /cwd, /model, and /session—directly inside the CLI. The feature increases speed, predictability, and auditability by scoping file access, managing session context, and selecting models without natural-language prompts. Teams gain clearer access controls and better compliance while developers maintain keyboard-driven, repeatable workflows.
Key Points
- 1Introduces slash commands in Copilot CLI for explicit terminal actions like /clear, /add-dir, /model, and /session
- 2Improves predictability and auditability by making actions explicit, reducing ambiguous natural-language prompts
- 3Enables developers to manage context, file scope, models, and sessions directly in keyboard-driven workflows
Scoring Rationale
Official, usable CLI feature increases developer control and compliance; however, it's an incremental tooling enhancement.
