Copilot CLI v1.0.18: Critic Agent & Session Resume
Copilot CLI 1.0.18 adds a Critic agent for error detection, improves session organization, and streamlines permission handling with hook updates.
TL;DR
- New Critic agent reviews plans and implementations using a complementary model to catch errors early
- Session resume picker now groups sessions by branch and repository
- preToolUse hook 'allow' permission now suppresses approval prompts
New
- Critic agent — Automatically reviews plans and complex implementations using a complementary model to catch errors before execution (experimental mode, Claude models only)
- Notification hook event — Fires asynchronously on shell completion, permission prompts, elicitation dialogs, and agent completion for better event-driven workflows
Improved
- Session resume picker — Now correctly groups sessions by branch and repository on first use, making it easier to find the right context
- preToolUse hook permissionDecision — Setting 'allow' now suppresses the tool approval prompt, streamlining automated workflows
