What changed in Copilot CLI

Copilot CLI v1.0.44 (released 2026-05-08) introduced two related improvements to how slash commands and skills work:

  • Slash commands can now appear anywhere in a message — not just at the very start of your input
  • Multiple skills can be invoked in a single message — you can combine /code-checklist and /generate-tests in one prompt instead of sending two separate messages

What was updated

Chapter 05 – Skills System (05-skills/README.md)

Added a new #### Combining Multiple Skills in One Message subsection inside the existing Direct Slash Command Invocation section. It:

  • Explains that skill slash commands can be placed at the start, middle, or end of a message
  • Shows a concrete example using the course's book_app.py sample file with both /code-checklist and /generate-tests
  • Includes a tip callout reinforcing the flexibility of placement

No other chapters required changes — the existing slash command tables in Chapter 01 describe general command behavior that is still accurate.
