When is /btw from claude code coming to copilot? #2778

@mflRevan

Description

@mflRevan

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

In claude-code, you can ask the agent anytime, regardless of actively running/executing/sleeping or just idle, using his accumulated context to instantly ask a question about something, without bloating/corrupting/writing to the context/session.

Proposed solution

/btw <question prompt> command should allow to ask simple questions as a quick sidecommand, thinking/reasoning supported, without writing to the session

Example prompts or workflows

Example scenario (happening frequently)

  • Agent is working on a feature, kicking off a training run
  • Sleeping the console output for 600 secs
  • I am contemplating whether to stop him because something was misconfigured, and i cant ask him about it either

Should consume only max a half request, since no agentic work can be executed, or use a free/smaller/configurable model by default, ingesting the same context

Additional context

No response
