Copilot previews code-defined dynamic workflows

The short version

GitHub added dynamic workflows to Copilot CLI, the app, and SDK. Code combines automated steps and agents with sequential or parallel execution and checkpoint pauses; all Copilot plans are supported, while the CLI needs experimental features enabled.

What changed

Unlike agent coordination through /fleet, a dynamic workflow follows a process defined in code.

What it means for you

GitHub recommends it for repeatable release checks, parallel reviews, and tasks with explicit verification stages.

CLI users can enable experimental features as documented and ask Copilot to create a workflow for a repeated process. Ask which dynamic workflows are available to discover existing ones.

This is a public preview and may change. The source recommends ordinary chat for a quick answer or simple change.
