Tip: Steer Long Copilot CLI Agent Runs Mid-Flight With 'Steer with Message'

GitHub Changelog·medium signal

GitHub Copilot CLI now lets you send follow-up messages during an active agent run with three modes: 'Add to Queue' (runs after the current turn), 'Steer with Message' (redirects mid-run), and 'Stop and Send.' Use 'Steer' to course-correct a long autonomous run without killing and restarting it, preserving accumulated context. It's the same interaction pattern increasingly showing up across CLI agents.
