Replace Collections with Plugins as first-class citizens in the repo.
With the Copilot CLI v0.409 release making plugins an on-by-default
marketplace, collections are redundant overhead.
## What changed
### Plugin Infrastructure
- Created eng/validate-plugins.mjs (replaces validate-collections.mjs)
- Created eng/create-plugin.mjs (replaces create-collection.mjs)
- Enhanced all 42 plugin.json files with tags, featured, display, and
items metadata from their corresponding collection.yml files
### Build & Website
- Updated eng/update-readme.mjs to generate plugin docs
- Updated eng/generate-website-data.mjs to emit plugins.json with full
items array for modal rendering
- Renamed website collections page to plugins (/plugins/)
- Fixed plugin modal to use <div> instead of <pre> for proper styling
- Updated README.md featured section from Collections to Plugins
### Documentation & CI
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, PR template
- Updated CI workflows to validate plugins instead of collections
- Replaced docs/README.collections.md with docs/README.plugins.md
### Cleanup
- Removed eng/validate-collections.mjs, eng/create-collection.mjs,
eng/collection-to-plugin.mjs
- Removed entire collections/ directory (41 .collection.yml + .md files)
- Removed parseCollectionYaml from yaml-parser.mjs
- Removed COLLECTIONS_DIR from constants.mjs
Closes#711
- Introduced hooks to enable automated workflows triggered by specific events during GitHub Copilot sessions.
- Added documentation for hooks in AGENTS.md and README.md.
- Created a new directory structure for hooks, including README.md and hooks.json files.
- Implemented two example hooks: Session Auto-Commit and Session Logger.
- Developed scripts for logging session events and auto-committing changes.
- Enhanced validation and parsing for hook metadata.
- Updated build and validation scripts to accommodate new hooks functionality.
- Create website/src/pages/llms.txt.ts as an Astro static endpoint
- Remove generateLlmsTxt function from generate-website-data.mjs
- llms.txt is now generated at build time by Astro alongside other pages
- Add git-dates.mjs utility to extract file modification dates from git history
- Include lastUpdated field in JSON data for all resource types
- Display relative time (e.g., '3 days ago') with full date on hover
- Add 'Recently Updated' sort option to agents, prompts, instructions, and skills pages
- Update deploy-website.yml to use fetch-depth: 0 for full git history
CI overhead: ~20-30s additional for full git checkout
When searching for skills on the homepage, clicking a result would fail
to load because the search index stored the folder path (e.g., skills/my-skill)
instead of the SKILL.md file path. This caused fetchFileContent() to fail.
Changed path property to use skill.skillFile which contains the correct
path to the SKILL.md file that can be fetched and displayed in the modal.
- Standardized string quotes to double quotes across multiple files.
- Improved formatting and indentation for better readability.
- Added a function to format multiline text in tools rendering.
- Enhanced dropdown and action button handlers for better event management.
- Updated the theme application logic to initialize on page load.
- Refactored utility functions for consistency and clarity.
- Improved error handling and user feedback in download and share functionalities.
