The dashboard is a canvas extension that ships standalone, not bundled
in the plugin. Installing the-workshop delivers skills/agent/desks only;
the signals-dashboard canvas installs separately and renders in the
GitHub Copilot app. Replaces the false 'bundled... nothing else to
install' claim with the real two-install path.

Address the remaining doc/skill review findings:
- workshop-create: 'gh repo create --clone' clones into the CWD, which
nests the new repo when run from inside a checkout. Add an explicit
clone-parent selection + 'rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree' guard, and
run the create from that parent.
- workshop-create: desks/ and bench/ were scaffolded empty, so Git drops
them and a later clone loses the scaffold. Scaffold .gitkeep in each
and commit the placeholders.
- bench-read: make <workshop>/bench/ the primary shared location (the
directory workshop-create actually establishes) with desk-local
artifacts as a secondary source, instead of treating the repo root as
the bench.
- the-workshop README: add the Workshop Create skill to the component
table so all six packaged components are documented.

The signals-dashboard canvas extension bundles with the-workshop
plugin (x-awesome-copilot.extensions), so installing the plugin from
awesome-copilot includes the dashboard. Drop the pointers telling
users to install from jennyf19/the-workshop.
Addresses PR review comments on README (Cairn Dashboard section),
signal-write SKILL note, and workshop-ta agent viewing-signals note.

The dashboard is the centerpiece — real-time agent coordination
view showing desk status, signal types, intent text, outcome
pairing with honesty gap, token usage, and stash/restore controls.
Includes all updates from the-workshop PRs #3-#7:
- Empty state guidance for new users
- Token usage display per desk
- TA partnership signals + Cairn awareness
- Intent-as-text (execution signals use descriptive text)
- Outcome signal pairing with honesty gap calibration
- Open desk button
- Subtype labels (done/checkpoint/blocked/hands-up)

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.

- 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
- npm run build: regenerated docs/README.agents.md

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.

* feat: add convert-excel-to-md, convert-pdf-to-md, and convert-word-to-md skills
Add three new agent skills that convert common document formats to Markdown
using bundled Python scripts powered by MarkItDown:
- convert-excel-to-md: Converts .xlsx workbooks to Markdown with per-sheet
tables and embedded image extraction via a bundled Python script.
- convert-pdf-to-md: Converts .pdf documents to Markdown with text/table
extraction and embedded image extraction via PyMuPDF.
- convert-word-to-md: Converts .docx documents to Markdown with proper
image extraction replacing MarkItDown's base64 placeholders.
Each skill includes:
- SKILL.md with detailed usage instructions, output structure docs, and
a troubleshooting table
- scripts/ with the conversion Python script and requirements.txt
- references/setup.md with environment setup instructions
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: remove Markdown image syntax from convert-word-to-md SKILL.md
The CI valid-refs linter flagged the literal Markdown image syntax
containing a data URI as an invalid file reference. Replaced it with
a plain text description of the placeholder format.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: update pip install command to use scripts/requirements.txt for setup
* fix: clarify installation instructions for requirements-file in setup documentation
* fix: correct indentation in image extraction function
* Potential fix for pull request finding

* Add arch plugin (architecture + modernization skills)
Add the `arch` plugin with two skills:
- `arch:document` — produce a single, cited architecture document for a
locally-cloned repo, reading files on disk only.
- `arch:modernize` — generate a phased modernization plan, auto-running the
document workflow first when no architecture doc exists.
Skill sources live in top-level skills/ and are referenced declaratively
from plugins/arch/.github/plugin/plugin.json, per the repo's plugin model.
Regenerated docs/README.plugins.md, docs/README.skills.md and marketplace.json.

* Merge arch skills into single doc-and-modernize skill
Collapse the document and modernize skills into one standalone skill
(doc-and-modernize) with Documentation and Modernization modes, keeping
the plugin named arch. Modernization mode now runs the Documentation
workflow inline instead of invoking a separate arch:document skill,
fixing standalone-install cross-skill references. Reframe Documentation
mode as local-first (remote/API lookups are a flagged last resort)
rather than local-only. Regenerate docs and marketplace.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review: list skill by bare ID in arch README
Use 'doc-and-modernize' (repo convention) instead of the namespaced
'arch:doc-and-modernize', noting it surfaces as arch:doc-and-modernize
when installed via the plugin.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review: use non-HTML placeholder in instructions template
Change plain-text <PROJECT NAME> to [PROJECT NAME] in the header and
first paragraph so Markdown renderers don't parse it as an HTML tag and
drop it. The code-span `<N>` on the phase line is unaffected.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review + fix codespell CI failure
- Fix codespell: pre-empts -> preempts in the instructions template
- Consistent terminology: replace 'research step/workflow' with
'Documentation mode' in SKILL.md, README, and plugin.json description
- Fix run-on: add 'that' before 'Modernization mode must surface'
- Regenerate docs/marketplace for the updated plugin description
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address PR review feedback
- Instruct redacting credentials/tokens from git remote URLs before recording
- CI enforcement: ask user or mark [UNVERIFIED]; remote lookup is flagged last resort

Reframe the external catalog entry to reflect the plugin's polyglot
test-generation pipeline (.NET/C#, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Go,
Ruby, Rust, C++, Kotlin, Swift, PowerShell) and add polyglot keywords so
non-.NET developers can discover it. Mirrors the dotnet/skills 0.2.0 bump.
Edits the source (plugins/external.json) and regenerates the generated
.github/plugin/marketplace.json via npm run build. source stays unpinned
(tracks main), so no behavior change.
