Aaron Powell a7fdcd5006 Migrate plugins and canvas extensions to Agent Plugins spec (#2546)
* feat: migrate plugins and extensions to Agent Plugins v1.0.0 spec

- Add \ to all 69 curated plugin manifests
- Migrate all 18 extension manifests: add \, move logo into
  xtensions.com.github.copilot.logo namespace, remove top-level
  logo and string xtensions: '.'
- Update eng/validate-plugins.mjs: require \, validate
  namespace-keyed extensions object for canvas extensions, widen
  name pattern to allow dots (spec §5.5, max 64 chars)
- Update eng/materialize-plugins.mjs: emit spec-clean served manifests
  (only spec fields: \, name, version, description, author,
  homepage, repository, license, keywords, extensions)
- Update eng/generate-website-data.mjs: read logo from namespace
  with fallback to top-level logo for compatibility
- Update eng/create-plugin.mjs: scaffold emits \
- Add .github/workflows/validate-plugins.yml: blocking CI for PRs
  touching plugins/** or extensions/**
- Add spec compliance check to external plugin quality gates:
  non-blocking warnings with /⚠️/🛑 emoji legend
- Update AGENTS.md: document new extension manifest shape,
  add \ to plugin checklist

Agentic Workflows

Agentic Workflows are AI-powered repository automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions. Defined in markdown with natural language instructions, they enable event-triggered and scheduled automation with built-in guardrails and security-first design.

How to Contribute

See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to contribute new workflows, improve existing ones, and share your use cases.

How to Use Agentic Workflows

What's Included:

  • Each workflow is a single .md file with YAML frontmatter and natural language instructions
  • Workflows are compiled to .lock.yml GitHub Actions files via gh aw compile
  • Workflows follow the GitHub Agentic Workflows specification

To Install:

  • Install the gh aw CLI extension: gh extension install github/gh-aw
  • Copy the workflow .md file to your repository's .github/workflows/ directory
  • Compile with gh aw compile to generate the .lock.yml file
  • Commit both the .md and .lock.yml files

To Activate/Use:

  • Workflows run automatically based on their configured triggers (schedules, events, slash commands)
  • Use gh aw run <workflow> to trigger a manual run
  • Monitor runs with gh aw status and gh aw logs

When to Use:

  • Automate issue triage and labeling
  • Generate daily status reports
  • Maintain documentation automatically
  • Run scheduled code quality checks
  • Respond to slash commands in issues and PRs
  • Orchestrate multi-step repository automation
