How we made GitHub Copilot CLI more selective about delegation

GitHub has updated its Copilot CLI tool to be more selective about when it delegates tasks to the underlying AI model, according to GitHub Blog. Previously, the tool would frequently hand off control to the AI for every small decision, which could slow down workflows. The new behavior emphasizes better orchestration by reducing unnecessary handoffs, leading to faster progress during development. This change does not introduce new configuration options; instead, it refines the internal logic to recognize when delegation is genuinely beneficial versus when the user can proceed without AI input. For developers using Copilot CLI in terminal-based workflows, this means less interruption and more seamless command generation. The update focuses on maintaining the assistant's utility while avoiding friction from over-delegation, aligning with the goal of streamlining AI-assisted coding without adding complexity.
