An agent that can’t see your shell can’t really help. 👀 Intelligent Terminal gives your favorite agents the context they need to debug errors, understand commands, and stay in your workflow. Less context switching. More building. youtube.com/watch?v=t-nT29vJ…

I hate when agents steal desktop focus to do UI automation. The next winapp CLI release will add Windows Sandbox support so agents can run and automate apps while I keep working. winapp run --on sandbox winapp ui invoke button --on sandbox Would you find this useful?

This is so cool, @AlexandreChohfi is adding file based app support WITH identity to #winappcli - using a Windows API that needs identity has never been so easy, just "winapp run myfile.cs" feedback welcomed 👉 github.com/microsoft/winappC…

Making my huge migration to WinUI 3 for My Stream Timer! I had some agents last night powered by the WinUI CLI, Agents, and Skills, do a full back compat conversion of my older Xamarin.Forms project. Fully in the GitHub Copilot CLI overnight and woke up and boom:

UI recordings are more useful to coding agents, too ⚡ winapp ui record --frames now produces the MP4 plus timestamped JPEGs - so an agent can inspect exactly what happened, frame by frame.

Existing desktop apps can now get package identity without moving to a full MSIX 📦 The new sparse-package workflow spans winapp init --sparse, winapp pack, and winapp embed-identity, unlocking identity-gated APIs such as notifications and background tasks.

We just shipped Windows App Development CLI v0.6, and it’s a big one 👀! It’s packed with new ways to get from zero to a running Windows app faster - plus Azure signing, packaging, and agent workflows :)! Here are some of my favorite improvements 🧵:

Signing can now stay in the cloud 🔏 winapp az-sign signs EXEs, MSIX packages, and bundles with Azure Trusted Signing - without putting a PFX on the machine. It uses Azure’s standard credential chain, making it a great fit for OIDC and managed-identity CI.

Building UI with an agent just got easier 🤖🔎 winapp find-ui tabs lets agents search real, working samples from the WinUI 3 Gallery and Windows Community Toolkit, then fetch copy-ready XAML + C# by scenario ID instead of guessing at controls or APIs.

winapp run now works straight from a .csproj, .sln/.slnx, or project directory 🚀 It builds and launches packaged or unpackaged WinUI apps in one step - no separate build command and no hunting through output folders.
