* sync: update cli-for-beginners ch04 and ch06 from upstream
- Chapter 04: Add @-style imports section under Custom Instruction Files
(released in v1.0.66, 2026-06-30). Users can now reference other files
inside AGENTS.md or instruction files with @filepath syntax.
- Chapter 06: Add /mcp list to the Additional MCP Commands reference table.
Released in v1.0.69-1 (2026-07-04), /mcp list shows currently attached MCP
servers and can be run while Copilot is working. Also add /mcp auth command
and update enable/disable descriptions to note session persistence.
- Bump lastUpdated to 2026-07-10 in both files.

* feat(website): dedicated agent detail pages instead of modal
Replace the popup/modal viewer for agents with dedicated per-agent pages at /agent/<id>/ for real URLs and better deep linking.
- Build-time rendered docs (marked + gray-matter) with a details sidebar
- Sidebar Actions card: Install split-button (VS Code/Insiders/Download/Copy markdown), Share, View on GitHub
- Cards now link natively via anchors (no modal); card-render gains optional href (backward compatible for other types)

* feat(website): dedicated instruction detail pages + shared detail layout
Extend the dedicated detail-page pattern (introduced for agents) to
instructions, and factor the shared behavior/styles out for reuse:
- Add instruction/[id].astro with build-time markdown render, breadcrumb,
install split-button (VS Code/Insiders/Download/Copy markdown), Share,
View on GitHub, and a details sidebar (Applies to / Source / Last updated)
plus collapsible frontmatter.
- Extract shared client behavior into resource-detail.ts (renamed from
agent-detail.ts) keyed on [data-resource-detail].
- Move detail-page CSS into global.css under .resource-detail-page.
- Point the agent detail page at the shared script/styles.
- Instruction cards now link to /instruction/<id>/ and the modal is removed
from the instructions listing.

* refactor(website): extract shared detail-page components
Break the agent and instruction detail pages down into reusable Astro
components under src/components/pages: Breadcrumb, Header, Main, Sidebar,
SidebarChips, InstallButtons, and RawMarkdown. Both detail pages now
compose these components instead of duplicating markup.
Fix RawMarkdown to read the `markdown` prop (matching both call sites) and
emit exact text via set:text, which restores the Copy markdown action that
had silently broken when the hidden textarea stopped rendering.

* refactor(website): share detail-page build logic in lib/detail-page
Both detail pages duplicated the install/GitHub URL builders, the
build-time markdown read+render, and the last-updated formatting. Move all
of it into a DOM-free build-time helper (src/lib/detail-page.ts) exposing
loadDetailPage(item, type), and reduce each [id].astro to a single call plus
its type-specific chip data.

* Add dedicated skill detail pages with multi-file browser
Migrate skills from the popup/modal viewer to dedicated per-item pages
(/skill/<id>/) matching the agent and instruction detail pages.
Skills need a few skill-specific mechanics:
- Install via `gh skills install github/awesome-copilot <id>` (copyable),
since skills have no VS Code install URL.
- Download ZIP for the multi-file skill contents.
- A file browser that defaults to SKILL.md and lets you inspect other
files, with Shiki syntax highlighting for code and marked-rendered
markdown. SKILL.md is embedded (rendered + raw) at build time; other
files are lazy-fetched on demand and cached. Deep links via #file=.
Also fixes a production build regression in the shared detail-page
helper: repoRoot now resolves via process.cwd() instead of import.meta
.url, which resolved incorrectly once bundled and silently returned
empty markdown (breaking rendered docs + copy-markdown for agents and
instructions too).
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Replace skill file list with a dropdown selector
The two-column file browser (side list + content pane) was cramped,
splitting the already-narrow main column in half. Replace the side list
with a dropdown in the file view header so the content pane spans the
full width.
- Multi-file skills get a <select> grouped by folder via <optgroup>,
SKILL.md first. Single-file skills keep a static filename label.
- Client script drives selection from the <select> change event instead
of the removed file buttons; deep links, copy-file, Download ZIP, and
Share all read the file list from the select options.

* Fix skill sidebar card overflowing its column
The install command in the actions card used white-space: nowrap, which
gave the grid tracks a large min-content size. Grid items default to
min-width: auto (won't shrink below content), so the actions card grew
past the 352px sidebar, making it look wider than the agent/instruction
sidebars. Add min-width: 0 down the sidebar grid chain so the command
box stays within the column and scrolls horizontally instead.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Make skill file content pane grow to full page height
Remove the fixed max-height/overflow on .skill-file-content so file
content flows to natural height and the page scrolls, instead of a
nested inner scroll region. Shiki <pre> keeps its own horizontal scroll.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Center-align skill file picker label with the select
Reset the Starlight-injected margin-top on .skill-file-select so the
'File' label and the dropdown share a common vertical midline.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Render code files edge-to-edge in skill file viewer
For code files, drop the container padding and the pre border/radius so
the highlighted code fills the full column width. Markdown files keep
their padded, bordered layout. Toggled via an is-code class on the
content pane based on the selected file kind.

* Add dedicated detail pages for hooks with a reusable file browser
Hooks had no good install path (manual copy or ZIP), so mirror the
Skills dedicated-page pattern: a multi-file browser plus a Download ZIP
action, replacing the modal on the hooks listing.
Generalise the Skills-specific file browser so both resource types share
one implementation:
- Rename SkillFileBrowser.astro -> FileBrowser.astro with neutral props.
- Rename skill-detail.ts -> file-browser.ts with neutral data attributes
(data-file-browser-page, data-bundle-id, data-primary-file).
- Rescope install-slot styles under a shared .bundle-detail-page class.
- generate-website-data: rename getSkillFiles -> getFolderFiles and emit a
files[] + readmeFileName for each hook.
Hooks list cards now deep-link to /hook/<id>/ instead of opening a modal.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Add dedicated detail pages for workflows
Migrate agentic workflows from the popup/modal viewer to dedicated per-item pages (/workflow/<id>/) with deep linking, matching the pattern used for agents, instructions, skills, and hooks.
Workflows are single .md files, so they reuse the single-file detail components (Main, Sidebar, Header, Breadcrumb, RawMarkdown) and the resource-detail client script. Since workflows have no VS Code install, the install slot instead documents the gh aw CLI flow and offers Download + Copy markdown actions.
Also rescope the shared install-slot CSS from .bundle-detail-page to .detail-actions-card so skill, hook, and workflow pages share it without a page-specific class, and drop the now-unused bundle-detail-page class from the skill and hook pages.

* Format workflow install note

* Add dedicated plugin detail pages
Replace the plugins modal with dedicated /plugin/<id>/ pages that deep link, render the bundled README, and surface an Included items section linking each constituent agent/skill/instruction/hook to its own detail page (falling back to GitHub for items without a page, e.g. extensions).
- generate-website-data: resolve plugin items to detail URLs + titles, add readmeFile for local and extension-derived plugins
- new IncludedItems component groups bundled resources by kind
- plugin/[id].astro handles local, extension-derived, and external plugins with VS Code + CLI install actions
- resource-detail: copy-install handler shared with detail pages
- plugins list cards now deep link; modal wiring removed
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Show plugin version, ref, and commit in detail sidebar
Capture version from plugin.json (local + extension-derived) and external.json, and surface it in the plugin detail Details card. For external plugins, also show the pinned source ref and short commit SHA when present.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Add dedicated canvas extension detail pages with preview gallery
Replace the extensions modal with per-extension pages at /extension/<id>/,
mirroring the skill/plugin detail layout. Each page shows a preview image
gallery, README docs (or an About fallback), and a sidebar with install
actions and details (version, canvas ID, keywords, author, commit).
- generate-website-data.mjs: emit readmeFile for extensions
- extensions-render.ts: deep-link cards to detail pages
- extensions.ts: strip modal/gallery wiring, keep filter/sort/copy actions
- resource-detail.ts: add copy-install-url action
- extension-gallery.ts: thumbnail switching for multi-image previews

* Add VS Code Insiders and GitHub Copilot app install links
Introduce a shared PluginInstall component used by both plugin and canvas
extension detail pages. It renders a split-button dropdown deep-linking into
VS Code, VS Code Insiders, and the GitHub Copilot app (ghapp://), plus the
CLI command for internal items.
- Internal plugins/extensions: ghapp://plugins/install?source=<id>@awesome-copilot
- External plugins: ghapp://plugins/marketplace/add?source=<owner/repo>
- ghapp source values are URL-encoded per the app's deep-link contract
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Make GitHub Copilot app the default install option
Promote the ghapp:// deep link to the primary split-button action and list
it first in the dropdown, ahead of VS Code and VS Code Insiders.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Ignoring impeccable files
* Make Extensions grid Copy Install a direct Copilot app install
Replace the CLI-command copy button on extension cards with an
'Install in Copilot app' deep link (ghapp://plugins/install) for internal
extensions, matching the detail page. External extensions keep the Copy URL
fallback since they have no Copilot app install path.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review feedback on detail pages
- Remove DOM innerHTML read/write round trip in file browser cache
(CodeQL js/xss-through-dom); seed primary file from raw text and
render lazily.
- Use Shiki dual light/dark themes in the file browser and add dark
mode CSS overrides.
- Guard decodeURIComponent for #file= deep links against malformed
percent-encoding.
- Slugify SidebarChips title before using it in the tag class name.
- Use a neutral aria-label on the shared detail Sidebar.
- URL-encode the external plugin source in VS Code and Insiders
install links.

* Prevent client-side path traversal in file deep links
Addresses the CSPT-to-XSS class reported in github/open-source#1739.
A '#file=' hash value containing '../' sequences could resolve outside
the awesome-copilot repo prefix once normalized by fetch, loading
attacker-controlled content that was then rendered into the page.
- Add isSafeRepoFilePath() and enforce it at the raw-URL choke point
(getRawGitHubUrl, fetchFileContent, downloadFile, getVSCodeInstallUrl),
so no consumer can escape the repo prefix.
- Validate the decoded '#file=' path in the modal hash handler and guard
its decodeURIComponent against malformed input.
The new hash-based file browser already restricts deep links to an
allowlist of build-time file descriptors; the choke-point guard is an
additional backstop.

* Fix accessibility violations on resource detail pages
Run the a11y audit against the new detail pages and resolve every
critical/serious axe violation it surfaced:
- Nest the detail column as a <div> instead of a second <main>, fixing the
duplicate/non-top-level/non-unique landmark rules on every detail page.
- Add a shared enhanceMarkdownA11y() helper that makes rendered <pre>/<table>
blocks keyboard focusable and gives task-list checkboxes a state-based
accessible name; apply it at build time and in the client file browser.
- Make Shiki-highlighted code and install-command <code> blocks focusable.
- Underline links inside rendered docs and install notes so they are
distinguishable without color, overriding the global #main-content reset.
- Extend the a11y audit to cover one representative page per detail type.

* Fix file browser GitHub URL handling
Encode selected file paths before assigning GitHub detail links and render load errors with DOM APIs so DOM-derived file names are not reinterpreted as markup.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review feedback on detail pages and file browser
- Deep-link plugin extension items to their /extension/<id>/ detail pages:
generate canvas extensions before building the resource index, and index
extensions (by id and folder basename) so resolvePluginItem can resolve them.
- Render image files in the bundle file browser via an <img> tag built from the
safe raw URL instead of decoding binary assets as UTF-8 text; skip the
copy-file action for images.
- Use a neutral 'Install' heading on internal plugin and extension pages so the
split-button primary label accurately communicates the target.
- Warn (with the file path) when readResourceMarkdown fails instead of swallowing
the error silently, keeping the build unbroken.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review feedback on install links, dropdown a11y, and ZIP downloads
- externalRepoUrl (plugin detail pages) now builds the 'View on GitHub' tree
URL from the pinned source.ref or source.sha, falling back to main only when
neither is present, so the link matches the sidebar Ref/Commit chips.
- Install split-button dropdown on resource detail pages is now keyboard
accessible: opening focuses the first item, ArrowUp/ArrowDown wrap, Home/End
jump, and Escape closes and restores focus to the toggle, mirroring modal.ts.
- downloadZipBundle fetches each file as an ArrayBuffer and hands it to JSZip so
binary assets (PNG/JPG/etc.) are preserved instead of corrupted by UTF-8 text
decoding.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review feedback on external repo links and workflow install note
- externalRepoUrl now uses a pinned source.ref/sha even when the external
plugin has no path, returning /tree/<ref> so "View on GitHub" points at the
pinned revision and stays consistent with the sidebar Ref/Commit chips.
- Reflow the workflow install note so each inline code and link element stays on
a single line (using explicit whitespace expressions for word spacing),
removing the split end-tag artifacts while preserving the exact rendered text
and spacing.

* Harden repo path validation and fix Included Items file links
- isSafeRepoFilePath now fails closed on any "%" so percent-encoded dot-segments
(%2e%2e and double-encoded %252e%252e) cannot be normalized back into path
traversal by the browser URL parser during fetch, and also rejects "." and
empty path segments. Legitimate repo paths never contain these.
- IncludedItems githubHref now links file paths via /blob/ and directories via
/tree/, detecting files by a trailing extension on the last path segment, so
the fallback links for agent/instruction/command items no longer 404.
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Harden detail pages: sanitize markdown, fix search deep-links and external URLs
Addresses rubber-duck review items 1-5 for the detail-page migration:
1. Sanitize rendered markdown as untrusted HTML. Add isomorphic
sanitize-html helper (isomorphic-dompurify) applied in the build-time
pipeline (detail-page.ts) and the client file browser before a11y
enhancement, so marked output can no longer inject scripts/handlers.
2. Point Pagefind search results at canonical /type/id/ detail pages
instead of inert #file= listing hashes for types that have a detail page.
3. Sanitize external/generated URLs on plugin and extension detail pages
and their render scripts so only http(s) links are emitted.
4. Add a shared externalRepoUrl helper that pins GitHub links to the
source ref/sha (preferring sha) with encoded path segments, replacing
the duplicated always-main logic in the pages, modal, and renderers.
5. Handle #file= hash navigation after initial load in the file browser
via a hashchange listener.

* Detail pages: clickable filter chips + code-block copy buttons (#2255)
* Add clickable filter chips on detail pages
Turn read-only metadata chips into navigation: tags (hooks/plugins),
keywords (extensions), and extensions (instructions) now link to their
list page pre-filtered by that value (e.g. /hooks/?tag=testing).
SidebarChips gains optional filterBase/filterParam props; when both are
set each chip renders as an <a> with an aria-label and hover/focus
styling, otherwise it stays a plain <span>. Agent/skill/workflow chips
are unchanged. Filtering was verified end to end against each list
page's existing query-param handling.

* Add copy buttons to documentation code blocks
Detail-page markdown is rendered as plain <pre><code> with no syntax
highlighter, so code and config snippets had no copy affordance. Add a
hover-revealed copy button to every code block in the rendered docs:
copies to the clipboard, shows a toast, and swaps to a check icon for
confirmation. Buttons are keyboard-accessible, always visible on touch
devices, and respect reduced-motion. The sidebar frontmatter block is
left untouched.

* Fix detail-page GitHub links, empty-state link contrast, and file cache
Addresses four PR review comments on the detail-page migration:
- skill/hook detail pages: build the sidebar "View on GitHub" link from a
/tree/main base instead of /blob/main, since item.path is a directory and
/blob/<dir> URLs 404. The FileBrowser githubBase stays on /blob for
individual file links.
- global.css: include .detail-empty a in the underline override so links in
empty-state notes stay distinguishable without relying on color alone
(WCAG 1.4.1 / axe link-in-text-block).
- file-browser.ts: seed the primary file's cache with its already-rendered
(frontmatter-stripped) HTML in addition to raw text, so re-selecting the
primary file after navigating away no longer re-renders the raw source and
surfaces frontmatter. Copy still uses the full raw text.

* fix(website): remediate WCAG accessibility issues and add axe regression guardrail
Fixes accessibility violations found by an axe-core sweep of every website
page in both light and dark themes:
- aria-allowed-role (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2): the shared resource card rendered
an <article> with role="listitem", which is not an allowed role for that
element. Switched the wrapper to a <div role="listitem"> so the listitem
role is valid (affected every card, e.g. #arcade-canvas on /extensions/).
- aria-required-children (WCAG 1.3.1): removed role="list" from the tools,
contributors, and cookbook containers whose children are not list items.
- nested-interactive (WCAG 4.1.2): removed tabIndex=0 from extension cards
and rendered the author as a non-interactive span so no interactive
control is nested inside another (the author link remains in the modal).
- color-contrast (WCAG 1.4.3): gave .btn-primary explicit white text with an
AA-compliant hover (#7326d6), and bumped the dark-theme secondary text gray
(--sl-color-gray-3) to #84849c (5.32:1) so ToC / meta / footer text passes.
Adds a checked-in regression guardrail:
- website/scripts/a11y-audit.mjs runs axe-core over all routes in both themes
against the production build and fails on critical/serious violations only
(moderate/minor are reported but non-blocking). Transitions/animations are
disabled before sampling so axe measures settled, steady-state colors
instead of mid-theme-transition frames.
- Adds npm scripts (website:a11y at the root, a11y in website/) and README
docs. The matching Build Website CI step is proposed in the PR description
(omitted from this commit because the authoring token lacks workflow scope).

* fix(website): harden a11y audit per PR review
- Fail fast when a route navigation returns a non-2xx response, so the
guardrail can't silently pass against a broken/missing route (page.goto
resolves even for 4xx/5xx).
- Launch the Astro preview server via `node <astro-bin>` instead of
`spawn(..., { shell: true })`. Removing the shell layer keeps signal
delivery / detached-PGID shutdown predictable; resolving Astro's bin and
running it with process.execPath also avoids the EINVAL that modern Node
raises when spawning the npx.cmd shim without a shell on Windows.

* Address PR feedback on canvas schema validation
- Add ajv-cli@5 as a pinned devDependency; install via npm ci in CI instead of npx --yes
- Fix screenshot path regex to prevent .. traversal segments
- Validate canvas.schema.json is parseable JSON even on schema-only PRs
Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Harden canvas extension workflow against injection attacks
Switch from newline to null-terminated git diff output (git diff -z) so filenames
containing newlines are read atomically, matching the existing skill-check.yml pattern.
Add an allowlist regex guard on the extracted extension directory name immediately after
it is parsed from git diff output. Any name not matching ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$ (e.g.
names containing dollar signs, parentheses, spaces, or other shell metacharacters) is
silently skipped before being used anywhere in the script.
Add a matching allowlist guard on each screenshot path extracted from canvas.json before
the file-existence check, so a crafted manifest cannot supply a path with shell
metacharacters or traversal segments even after the schema check passes.
Follows the same defence-in-depth pattern introduced after the injection PoCs in #1236
and #1240.

Show "by @handle" on each canvas extension card and in the details
modal, linking to the contributor's GitHub profile. Author metadata
lives in each extension's canvas.json (and external.json for external
extensions), where the rest of the canvas metadata is stored.
- Store author {name, url} in canvas.json / external.json
- Read author from canvas.json in the website data generator and emit
it to extensions.json
- Render the GitHub @handle, derived from the profile URL, as the link
text, with the contributor's name as the link title
- Escape the sanitized author URL before interpolating it into href

* Add keyword display to extension cards on website
- Add .resource-keywords and .keyword-tag CSS styles for rendering keyword badges
- Update renderExtensionsHtml() to display keywords below extension description
- Keywords now visible on the website extensions page with styled badges
- Regenerate website data to include keyword metadata
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Canvas manifest implementation for all extensions
Add per-extension canvas manifests with:
- Structured canvas metadata (name, description, version, keywords)
- Screenshot definitions (icon and gallery with path/type)
- Relative paths for images within each extension directory
Enhance extension metadata:
- Generate meaningful descriptions from source analysis
- Extract and assign keywords for discoverability
- Store metadata in package.json and extension source files
Update website rendering and data generation:
- Include keywords in extension cards and search index
- Add per-extension canvas.json files for independent evolution
- Support screenshot metadata in manifest structure
- Generate extensions.json with full canonical paths for website
All 9 local canvas extensions now have complete manifests with descriptions, keywords, and screenshot references.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Tweaking some descriptions
* Fix description priority to prefer package.json over in-source metadata
Reverse the priority in canvasDescription so that package.json descriptions
(which contain the enhanced, manually-curated descriptions) take precedence
over older in-source descriptions extracted from createCanvas(...) calls.
This prevents regression when npm run website:data regenerates outputs,
ensuring that committed canvas.json files maintain the current descriptions.

* Fix canvas validation to skip external.json file
The validation script was treating extensions/external.json as if it were
a directory, causing false validation failures. Added check to skip files
(identified by presence of dot in filename) and only validate actual
canvas extension directories.

Add a new 'Launching Sessions from the Terminal with Deep Links' section to the
GitHub Copilot app overview documentation. This section covers:
- Supported URL schemes (ghapp://, github-app://, gh://)
- session/new route with all supported parameters (repo, branch, pr, prompt, mode)
- Practical examples for common workflows
- Other useful deep links (chats, mywork, workflows, issues, PRs)
- Important limitations (repo-centric focus, local folder restrictions)
This addresses the request from the #github-app Slack channel discussion about
opening ghapp from the terminal for a better development experience.

Adds og:image:width and og:image:height to the global head so LinkedIn
(and friends) reliably render the large preview card instead of a tiny
thumbnail. The image and the rest of the Open Graph tags were already in
good shape, so this is the missing piece. Also adds a website README
documenting how the cards work and the gotchas.

Document the /compact, /context, and /usage slash commands in the
Copilot Configuration Basics page. These commands were not covered
in the main Learning Hub (outside the separate cli-for-beginners
track), but are broadly useful for interactive and ACP sessions:
- /context: visualize context window token usage
- /usage: display per-session token and API call metrics
- /compact: summarize conversation history to reclaim context space
- Note that all four (/env included) now work in ACP sessions (v1.0.39+)
- Note that ACP clients can toggle allow-all mode via session
configuration without a slash command (v1.0.39+)
