I really, really want to use #GitHub Copilot App more. It's lack of functionality with WSL repos is the biggest hinderance to further use. I've opened a couple of issues: https://t.co/BF3iHQdwSb and https://t.co/BF3iHQdwSb. FYI @pierceboggan @_Evan_Boyle

[Chris Gillum @cgillum]

By combining LLM-generated plans with Durable Functions, we achieved 93% fewer tokens and 95% lower latency compared to traditional LLM tool-calling loops.

And you get durable execution built in!

Really enjoyed collaborating with @sandayuu on this. 🙌

I'm excited to once again be a Microsoft MVP. More than 11 years after "retiring" from the MVP program, I'm back! I'm so thankful for all those who've helped and supported me along the way. https://t.co/bPOttZSF7d #mvpbuzz

The @github Copilot App recently added support for WSL-hosted repos. Check out my blog post to learn how to enable this feature and a few bugs I've found so far. https://t.co/p82aJi1bjQ #GitHub #GitHubCopilot #WSL

[Michael S. Collier @MichaelCollier]

Doc at https://t.co/ckNWQInMiR, https://t.co/s2m7sjl73b, and https://t.co/VDITUXly4w all indicate using com.github.copilot. Can't get it to work though.

[Michael S. Collier @MichaelCollier]

Does the GitHub Copilot CLI (v1.0.80) support Agent Plugins 1.0 and Copilot-specific extensions? I've tried putting an "agents", "instructions" and "hooks" folder under the "com.github.copilot" folder, but I never them in the CLI. Skill and MCP server OK. #GitHubCopilot

I had the pleasure of attending the Beer City Code last weekend. Check out my recap at https://t.co/vKkoYCY05o #BeerCityCode

[Michael S. Collier @MichaelCollier]

I had a great time today leading the AI coding workshop with @ShawnWallace So much to talk about in this space. Exciting times for sure! #BeerCityCode #GitHubCopilot #ClaudeCode

[Michael S. Collier @MichaelCollier]

I love being able to contribute to the Microsoft docs. I noticed a small error in a page related to Microsoft Foundry’s Claude model support. Opened the PR and it was approved and merged the next day. ✅
