* Add visual-pr plugin: screenshot capture, annotation, PR embedding, and screen recording
Four skills that teach Copilot to capture UI screenshots (Playwright + PIL),
annotate them with algorithmic label placement, embed before/after images
in PR descriptions, and record animated GIF demos.
Includes demo images showing the annotation engine on GitHub Issues.

* Embed annotate.py module in image-annotations skill
The full working module (annotate_image, grid_image, diff_images) is now
included as a code block so users can save it as annotate.py and import
directly. Scrubbed project-specific labels from examples.

* Fixing path on chrome devtools external pluginPath is to the folder in the repo where the plugin structure starts, not where the plugin.json file lives.
* Updating validation scripts and guidance to avoid this mistake again
Adds a skill that lets users generate images (icons, sprites, textures,
mockups) directly from their coding workflow using OpenAI gpt-image-2 or
Google Gemini. BYO API key — the skill guides users through setup on
first use.

* feat: add explicit assumption rule and confidence metric to agent documentation
- Add `confidence` field (0‑1) to the output schema in `agents/gem-browser-tester.agent.md`
- Include `confidence` in the `extra` object of `agents/gem-devops.agent.md`
- Append the guideline “State assumptions explicitly; never guess silently” to all agent docs
- Update the “Bisect (Complex Only)” heading to reflect its gate condition
- Minor wording and formatting adjustments across the affected agent documents
* chore: update readme
* chore(release): Streamline agent documentation sections (remove self‑critique steps, renumber Handle Failure/Output)
* Add winui plugin from microsoft/win-dev-skills
Adds the Microsoft-maintained WinUI 3 development plugin as an external
plugin reference. This is a Microsoft-managed repository so it qualifies
for the external-plugin policy exception in CONTRIBUTING.md.
The plugin provides agents and skills for WinUI 3 app development:
new app scaffolding, framework migration (WPF, WinForms, Electron,
Tauri, Flutter to WinUI 3), MSIX packaging, code signing, UI
automation testing, and Windows App SDK guidance.

Remove all bundled polyglot-test-agent content (8 agents, 1 skill,
plugin metadata) and add dotnet-test as an external plugin from
dotnet/skills. The external plugin is a superset (11 agents, 22 skills).
Marketplace and doc indexes regenerated via npm run build.

* feat(skills): add dotnet-mcp-builder, deprecate csharp-mcp-server-generator
Adds a comprehensive skill for building MCP (Model Context Protocol)
servers in C#/.NET against the official ModelContextProtocol 1.x NuGet
packages. Covers both transports (STDIO, Streamable HTTP — SSE is
deprecated) and every primitive in the current MCP spec (2025-11-25):
tools, prompts, resources, elicitation (form + URL mode), sampling,
roots, completions, logging, and MCP Apps. Includes a thin .NET MCP
client reference and testing guidance (MCP Inspector + in-memory
transport for unit tests).
Steers the model toward the current stable 1.x packages instead of the
0.x previews it tends to pin by default, and enforces the STDIO
stdout/stderr trap.
Also deprecates the existing csharp-mcp-server-generator skill, which
predates ModelContextProtocol 1.0 and only covered a subset of the
current spec. Its SKILL.md now redirects users to dotnet-mcp-builder so
existing install URLs keep working without surprises.
* fix: address PR review from aaronpowell
- Delete csharp-mcp-server-generator skill (rather than deprecating it)
- Update mcp-apps.md pitfalls section to reference .NET Tool.Meta type
instead of the serialized _meta JSON property names
- Rebuild docs/README.skills.md

* 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.
