What Changed Upstream

Four commits landed in github/copilot-cli-for-beginners since the last sync:

SHA Date Summary
6d5127d 2026-07-06 docs: add /mcp list command and @-style imports for instruction files
349aac6 2026-07-09 fix shell quoting in Common Mistakes table
5ae1cbb 2026-07-13 docs: add /refine command documentation
a67a260 2026-07-13 docs: remove unverified /plugins command documentation

What Was Updated Locally

01-setup-and-first-steps.md

  • Added /refine to the Essential Slash Commands table (released in v1.0.70, rewrites rough prompts into clear ones)
  • Added a 💡 tip explaining when to use /refine
  • Added /env to the Agent Environment additional commands table
  • Fixed shell quoting in Common Mistakes: changed double quotes to single quotes ('What does $HOME mean?') so the shell doesn't expand $HOME before Copilot sees the prompt

04-agents-and-custom-instructions.md

  • Added a new "Importing Other Files with @" subsection under Custom Instruction Files (released in v1.0.66)
  • Explains @filepath syntax for referencing other instruction files from AGENTS.md
  • Includes a code example and tip about sharing a common base instruction file

06-mcp-servers.md

  • Added /mcp list to the Additional MCP Commands table (released in v1.0.69-1, can be run while Copilot is working)
  • Added /mcp auth entry for re-authenticating OAuth MCP servers
  • Updated /mcp enable and /mcp disable descriptions to note they persist across sessions
  • Restructured the section into Option 1: Slash commands and Option 2: copilot mcp terminal commands to match upstream structure
  • Added the copilot mcp list/enable/disable terminal usage block
