What article on docs.github.com is affected?

content/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/use-copilot-cli-agents/steer-agents.md

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

  1. Problem here: While this Doc tells me about the existance of that feature and what it can do, it DOES NOT include information about the "How to interrupt the agent if its heading in wrong direction".
    I did not learn, if this means something like
  • delegating Agents
  • redundant agent execution, where possibly Agent A get's a Head-up "steering" from Agent B ?
  • Or do we here talk about "Skills"?
  • Is for this a Workspace/IDE required with files (.github/*.{md,json} like instructions/prompts/plans) or not?
    Anything like that would be more then now (-> nothing).
  1. The Section Caption (GitHub Copilot / **How-tos** / Copilot CLI / Use Copilot CLI agents) makes me as Reader assume I would get a How-To, but this Page contains nothing like that
    Recommendation from Reader to Authors: If this is not meant to be a How-To then only Information, move this Page to Concepts or similar, where you only tell that something is existing
  2. Problem here: The "Next Steps" Section does Link to a mostly Unrelated Topic ("Requesting a code review with GitHub Copilot CLI"). Instead, either in Next Steps or, even better, right between the Intro of this feature we need Steps / Guides like mentioned in 1.
