What is /fleet in Copilot CLI?

/fleet lets GitHub Copilot CLI run multiple AI subagents in parallel on your codebase, orchestrated to break tasks into independent items across files.

How do I use /fleet command effectively?

Craft specific prompts with deliverables, boundaries, dependencies — like listing files/tests/docs — then run /fleet or non-interactively with --no-ask-user.

Does /fleet replace human developers?

No, it supercharges them — handles parallel grunt work so you orchestrate high-level strategy, like a dev team lead.
