Syncs with jennyf19/the-workshop PR #8 (merged). Adds the
workshop-create skill with Path A (existing dir) and Path B
(new GitHub repo), explicit guard against repo-in-repo nesting.
TA agent updated with workshop-create section.

The awesome-copilot validator (eng/validate-plugins.mjs:107-148)
strips .md from the plugin.json path and appends .agent.md to
find the source file. The rename to workshop-ta.md broke this
convention. Reverting to workshop-ta.agent.md so validation,
materialization, and README generation all work correctly.

The .agent.md suffix leaked into the component ID registered
with the marketplace. Renaming gives a clean 'workshop-ta'
identifier while the frontmatter display name stays unchanged.

- desk-open: add 'Session orientation' section explaining the
session→journal→signals lifecycle. Desks are long-running in
state (journal), not runtime (each session is independent).
- workshop-ta: partnership signals write to desks/_ta/.signals/
so they appear on the dashboard without replacing any desk's
latest signal. TA uses the _ta prefix to indicate coordinator.

- plugin.json: use ./agents/workshop-ta.md path format (matches all other plugins)
- workshop-ta front matter: name 'Workshop TA' preserves acronym (was 'workshop-ta')
- signal-write: add subtype field (hands-up/blocked/done/checkpoint/partnership)
so dashboard consumers can distinguish specific signal states

The Workshop puts long-running AI agents (desks) in the same room,
on the same work, each with its own memory and history, sharing one
workspace so you direct the work instead of relaying it.
Components:
- Workshop TA agent (room coordinator)
- Skills: desk-open, desk-journal, signal-write, bench-read
- Marketplace entry for one-command install
Install: copilot plugin install the-workshop@awesome-copilot
Complements Ember (partnership for one agent) with coordination
for many agents. Install both for the full stack.

Adds a new custom agent that guides Azure Verified Modules (AVM) owners through a structured, repeatable workflow to triage open issues across the AVM repos they maintain. Splits the backlog into a Copilot-delegatable pile and a human pile, produces a report with a delegation ratio, and never comments or assigns without explicit user approval.
The winui plugin from microsoft/win-dev-skills now provides equal-or-better coverage of WinUI 3 development through the winui-dev agent and 7 specialized skills (winui-design, winui-code-review, winui-dev-workflow, winui-packaging, winui-ui-testing, winui-setup, winui-wpf-migration). UWP-to-WinUI 3 API rules are now codified as build-time diagnostics via the Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Analyzers Roslyn analyzer.

Rebuilds branch from upstream/staged (was previously merged from
upstream/main, which brought in materialized plugin files that
fail Check Plugin Structure on PRs targeting staged).
Changes vs. staged:
- Update skills/quality-playbook/ to v1.5.6 (31 bundled assets:
SKILL.md + LICENSE.txt + 16 references/ + 9 phase_prompts/ +
3 agents/ + bin/citation_verifier.py + quality_gate.py).
- Add agents/quality-playbook.agent.md (top-level orchestrator).

* feat(metadata): bump marketplace version to 1.15.0 and enrich agent documentation
The marketplace plugin metadata has been updated to reflect the newer
self‑learning multi‑agent orchestration description and the version hasbeen upgraded from 1.13.0 to 1.15.0.
Documentation for the following agents has been expanded with new
sections:
- **gem-browser-tester.agent.md** – added an “Output” section outlining
strict JSON output rules and a new “I/O Optimization” section covering
parallel batch operations, read efficiency, and scoping techniques.
- **gem-code-simplifier.agent.md** – similarly added “Output” and
“I/O Optimization” sections describing concisely formatted JSON,
parallel I/O, and batch processing best practices.
- **gem-reviewer.agent.md** – updated its output format and added
detailed guidance on review scope, anti‑patterns, and I/O strategies.
These changes provide clearer usage instructions and performance‑focused
recommendations for the agents while aligning the marketplace metadata
with the updated version.
* feat(plugin): add agents list and README for gem-team plugin
* docs: update readme
* chore: match version with gem-team
* docs: standardize execution order and output format sections in agent documentation
* docs: fix typo in agent documentation files
* refactor: replace "framework" with "harness" in gem‑team marketplace, plugin, and README descriptions
* Add acreadiness-cockpit plugin
Adds a new plugin that drives Microsoft AgentRC from Copilot chat,
framing every interaction inside AgentRC's Measure -> Generate ->
Maintain loop.
Custom agent (agents/ai-readiness-reporter.agent.md):
Runs `agentrc readiness --json`, interprets every result against
the 9-pillar / 5-level maturity model, then renders a self-contained
reports/index.html from a fixed HTML/CSS template (bundled with the
acreadiness-assess skill) so every user gets an identically styled
dashboard. Honours policies (disabled criteria, overrides, pass-rate
thresholds) and surfaces extras separately.
Skills:
- acreadiness-assess: Measure step. Wraps `agentrc readiness --json`
and hands off to the @ai-readiness-reporter agent. Bundles the
canonical report-template.html.
- acreadiness-generate-instructions: Generate step. Wraps
`agentrc instructions`. Defaults to .github/copilot-instructions.md
(Copilot-native). Asks flat vs nested. For monorepos, emits per-area
.github/instructions/<area>.instructions.md files with applyTo
globs taken from agentrc.config.json.
- acreadiness-policy: Maintain step. Helps pick, scaffold, or apply an
AgentRC policy (criteria.disable, criteria.override, extras,
thresholds) and wire it into CI via --fail-level.
Plugin (plugins/acreadiness-cockpit/):
Declarative plugin.json referencing the agent and three skills.

* Address PR review feedback
- Align documented slash-command names with plugin manifest:
/acreadiness-assess, /acreadiness-generate-instructions,
/acreadiness-policy (was /assess, /generate-instructions, /policy
inside SKILL bodies and argument-hints).
- Move the literal % from the report template into the substituted
values for {{passRate}} and {{threshold}} so an N/A value of '—'
no longer renders as '—%'. Updated the agent placeholder contract
accordingly.
- Point the report footer at the canonical plugin folder under
github/awesome-copilot instead of the personal source fork.
- Add explicit HTML-escaping rules to the agent: HTML-escape every
{{placeholder}} substitution, and replace </script with <\/script
inside the embedded JSON block so untrusted repo content cannot
break the markup or inject scripts.

Three agent files had a trailing comma after the last element in their
YAML flow-sequence tools arrays. When parsed, this produces an empty
string as an extra tool entry, which the Copilot API rejects with:
CAPIError: 400 Invalid 'tools[N].function.name': empty string
Affected files:
- agents/kusto-assistant.agent.md
- agents/mentoring-juniors.agent.md
- agents/address-comments.agent.md
