What is /fleet in Copilot CLI?

/fleet runs multiple subagents in parallel via an orchestrator that decomposes tasks, handles dependencies, and synthesizes outputs across your codebase.

How do you use /fleet effectively?

Craft specific prompts with file boundaries, deliverables, constraints, and dependencies—e.g., list docs files or modules explicitly for max parallelism.

Does /fleet work non-interactively?

Yes, via copilot -p "/fleet " --no-ask-user for scripts or CI.
