Make the skill modal download button reuse the existing skill ZIP behavior so it downloads the full skill bundle instead of only the current file. Extract the ZIP creation into a shared utility and reuse it from the skills and hooks pages.

* Removing a codex-specific agent (model deprecated) and removing model from blueprint mode
* Combining skills into a single skill with an internal decision tree
* Converting agents to skill with decision tree
Closes#998
* Converting agents to skill with decision tree"
Fixes#999
* Cleaned up some tool names
* Removing some instructionsThese instructions are no longer useful as the knowledge the add is already well handled by frontier models, so the instructions potentially provide conflicting or incorrect information to the agent while it undertakes a task
* Improved the skill to be more explicit on how to use playwright
* Removing a skill that is of low value
The information captured in this skill is mostly just what is found in the links that are at the top of the references, and thus the model will already have that knowledge available to it, meaning that the skill will potentially provide conflicting guidance to the agent as it works
* Updating readmes
* Some layout tweaks
* SSR resource listing pages
Render resource listing pages in Astro for first paint and hydrate client filtering/search behavior on top.

* feat: show external plugins on the website
Read plugins/external.json during website data generation and include
external plugins alongside local ones in plugins.json. External plugins
are flagged with external:true and carry metadata (author, repository,
homepage, license, source).
On the website:
- Plugin cards show a '🔗 External' badge and author attribution
- The 'Repository' button links to the source path within the repo
- The modal shows metadata (author, repo, homepage, license) and a
'View Repository' CTA instead of an items list
- External plugins are searchable and filterable by tags

* fix: address PR #937 security and UX review comments
- Add sanitizeUrl() function to validate URLs and prevent XSS via javascript:/data: schemes
- Add rel="noopener noreferrer" to all target="_blank" links to prevent reverse-tabnabbing

- Track actual count of external plugins added (after filtering/deduplication) in build logs

- Delete theme.ts (Starlight has built-in theme toggle)
- Delete src/config/learning-hub.ts (sidebar order now in astro.config.mjs)
- Replace learning-hub glob collection with Starlight docs collection in content.config.ts
- Keep search.ts (still used by homepage and all resource page scripts)
Build verified: 23 pages, no errors.

- Starlight provides search, theme toggle, sidebar, ToC, a11y
- Add custom Pagefind integration for resource search
- All 614 agents/skills/instructions/hooks/workflows/plugins
indexed as custom records with deep-link URLs
- Type filter pills (horizontal pill toggles) above results
- Search results link directly to resource modals via #file= hash
- Move global.css to src/styles/ for Vite processing
- Scope CSS reset to #main-content to avoid Starlight conflicts

Scoped custom token only to create-pull-request safe output.
All other operations use default token fallback chains.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Without explicit github-token, the compiler generates a proper
fallback chain (GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN || GITHUB_TOKEN) ensuring
a valid token is always available for git push operations.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot push branches in this org.
Add explicit github-token using GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN secret

* Add contribution CTA to all listing/search pages
Add a reusable ContributeCTA component that encourages visitors to
contribute their own resources. The CTA appears at the bottom of every
resource listing page (agents, instructions, skills, hooks, workflows,
plugins, tools) with:
- Contextual text that adapts to the resource type

Replace all prompt file references with skills guidance throughout the
Learning Hub. Skills are the preferred customization primitive because
they support agent discovery via extended frontmatter, can bundle
