Copilot CLI v1.0.36-0: Opus 4.6 Reasoning & Debug Fixes

TL;DR

  • Claude Opus 4.6 now defaults to medium reasoning effort instead of full
  • Debug logs and feedback bundles no longer overwrite existing archives
  • Custom agents and skills from ~/.claude/ are no longer auto-loaded

Improved

  • Claude Opus 4.6 reasoning — Now uses medium reasoning effort by default, balancing speed and accuracy for most workflows

Fixed

  • Debug log archiving — Saving debug logs or feedback bundles no longer overwrites existing archive files
  • Custom agent loading — Custom agents, skills, and commands from ~/.claude/ are no longer loaded by the Copilot CLI, preventing unintended conflicts

Update with: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@latest
