GitHub Copilot CLI Gets Smarter About Subagent Delegation
GitHub Blog·yesterday·Release
GitHub says Copilot CLI now uses “smarter subagent delegation,” a behind-the-scenes orchestration improvement rolled out to all production traffic.
The change makes the main agent handle focused work directly, while reserving subagents for broader, independent, or parallelizable tasks.
In production A/B testing, GitHub reports 23% fewer tool failures per session, lower search and edit failures, reduced wait time, and no quality regression.
