External Plugin Review Board

A maintainer-only Copilot canvas extension for triaging external-plugin submissions that are ready-for-review in github/awesome-copilot.

Open it by asking Copilot to "open the plugin review board" (canvas id external-plugin-review-board).

Features

• Kanban board with buckets: Unreviewed → Reviewing → Straight reject / Probably reject / Needs review / Accept → Actioned. Drag cards between buckets (or use the Bucket dropdown in the details panel). Dragging a card back to Unreviewed clears its AI review so it's picked up by the next review.
• Perform review asks the agent to review every item without an AI review, using review-guidance.md and the decisions you've made from the board. Results are recorded with the record_review canvas action and move cards into their recommended bucket.
• Re-review (in the details panel) takes optional guidance on what to focus on, then has the agent spin up a separate sub-session to re-assess that one submission. The sub-session reports its result back and it's recorded on the card along with your guidance.
• Refresh fetches open external-plugin + ready-for-review issues, adds new ones, and removes any that are closed or no longer ready for review.
• Details panel shows the AI review, the rendered issue body, and all comments.
• Quick actions post /approve (with an optional note) or /reject <reason> straight to the issue after a confirm click. The reject reason is prefilled from the AI's suggested comment.

State

Board state lives in state/board.json next to this file and is gitignored. It stores the synced issue metadata, AI reviews, manual bucket overrides, and a history of decisions made from the board.

Requirements

• The GitHub CLI (gh) on PATH, authenticated as a maintainer with write access (needed for /approve and /reject to be honoured by the command router workflow).

Agent actions

get_board, refresh, start_review, start_rereview, record_review, move_item, get_issue.
