Use `/undo` when the agent's last response went in an unwanted direction and you want to try a different approach from that point.
The `/chronicle` command shows a timeline of all files that were **created or modified** during the current session. It gives you a compact, ordered view of every change the agent has made — useful for reviewing the scope of work before committing or sharing:

> **ACP clients (v1.0.39+)**: ACP clients can also toggle allow-all mode programmatically via session configuration, without issuing a slash command. This is useful for automated pipelines that drive Copilot CLI through the ACP protocol.
When the CLI is in autopilot mode, it limits the number of automatic continuation messages to **5 by default**. You can raise or lower this with `--max-autopilot-continues`:
```bash
copilot --autopilot --max-autopilot-continues 10 "Refactor the auth service"
```
Setting `--max-autopilot-continues 0` removes the limit entirely, though this may consume many requests for large tasks. The limit prevents runaway automation while still allowing the agent to complete multi-step work.
The `--effort` flag (shorthand for `--reasoning-effort`) controls how much computational reasoning the model applies to a request:
