What's new in Copilot CLI v1.0.64–v1.0.65

Two beginner-relevant features were released in the past 7 days that weren't yet documented in the course:

1. copilot skill terminal subcommand (v1.0.65, June 24 2026)

A new copilot skill subcommand lets learners add, list, and remove skills directly from their shell — without opening an interactive session first. This is handy for project setup, onboarding scripts, and quick skill management. Previously the course only covered /skills inside the chat.

2. /skill alias for /skills (v1.0.65, June 24 2026)

/skill is now accepted as a shorthand alias for /skills inside the chat. Minor, but worth noting so beginners aren't confused if they see it in examples elsewhere.

3. /diagnose command (v1.0.64, June 23 2026)

A new /diagnose slash command analyses session logs and explains any errors or anomalies. Perfect for beginners who run into unexpected behaviour and aren't sure what went wrong.


Sections updated

File Change
05-skills/README.md Expanded "Managing Skills" section to document copilot skill list/add/remove, note /skill alias, and restructure around the two management surfaces (chat vs terminal)
00-quick-start/README.md Added a "Diagnosing session issues" subsection to the Troubleshooting section with an example of /diagnose

- Chapter 05: Expand skills management section to cover both
  /skills (chat) and 'copilot skill' (terminal subcommand),
  and note that /skill is an alias for /skills
- Chapter 00: Add /diagnose command to the troubleshooting section
  so beginners know how to analyze session issues

Based on Copilot CLI v1.0.64 and v1.0.65 release notes.
