* 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. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * 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 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: samqbush <samqbush@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Install a Plugin
For most users, the Awesome Copilot marketplace is already registered in the Copilot CLI/VS Code, so you can install a plugin directly:
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
If you are using an older Copilot CLI version or a custom setup and see an error that the marketplace is unknown, register it once and then install:
copilot plugin marketplace add github/awesome-copilot
copilot plugin install <plugin-name>@awesome-copilot
