Activate Noob Mode to make Copilot CLI speak plain English. Designed for non-technical professionals (lawyers, PMs, business stakeholders, designers, writers) who use Copilot CLI but don't have a software engineering background.
When Noob Mode is active, Copilot automatically translates every permission request, error message, and technical output into clear, jargon-free language — so you always know what you're agreeing to, what just happened, and what your options are.
| Approval Translation | Every time Copilot asks permission, it explains WHAT it wants to do, WHY, how RISKY it is, and what happens if you say yes or no | | Risk Indicators | Color-coded risk levels so you can instantly see if an action is safe or needs careful thought |
