From a736bccc43d85df3f9777ec8bc1b1e18d7165692 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Wahlin Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:45:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Update slash commands: replace removed /plugins with /plugin, /instructions, /subagents The /plugins command was removed in Copilot CLI v1.0.81 (released 2026-08-27). Its functionality was split across dedicated commands: - /plugin: plugins dashboard for browsing, installing, enabling, and updating plugins - /instructions: view and manage loaded instruction files - /subagents: view and manage subagents in the current session Also updated /mcp and /skills descriptions to reflect the unified plugins dashboard that /mcp, /skills, and /plugin now open.
