* 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.

Document two new CLI slash commands introduced in Copilot CLI v1.0.45
(released 2026-05-11):
- /autopilot: toggle between interactive and autopilot modes mid-session
- /fork: copy the current session into a new independent session
Both are added to the 'CLI Session Commands' section of the
Copilot Configuration Basics learning hub page.

Rebuilds branch from upstream/staged (was previously merged from
upstream/main, which brought in materialized plugin files that
fail Check Plugin Structure on PRs targeting staged).
Changes vs. staged:
- Update skills/quality-playbook/ to v1.5.6 (31 bundled assets:
SKILL.md + LICENSE.txt + 16 references/ + 9 phase_prompts/ +
3 agents/ + bin/citation_verifier.py + quality_gate.py).
- Add agents/quality-playbook.agent.md (top-level orchestrator).
name: quality-playbook (validator-compliant).
- Update docs/README.skills.md quality-playbook row description
+ bundled-assets list to v1.5.6.
- Fix 'unparseable' → 'unparsable' in quality_gate.py (5 instances;
codespell preference, both spellings valid).
Closes the v1.4.0 → v1.5.6 update in a single clean commit on top of
upstream/staged. The preserved backup branch backup-bedbe84-pre-rebuild
(SHA bedbe848fa3c0f0eda8e653c42b599a17dd2e354) holds the prior history for reference.
* feat(flowstudio): align Power Automate skills with MCP server v1.1.6
Foundation skill (flowstudio-power-automate-mcp) rewritten to use the
server's new tool_search and list_skills meta-tools (v1.1.5+) for
discovery instead of cataloging every tool by hand. Cut from 519 to
295 lines. New "Which Skill to Use When" intent-keyed decision tree
points at the four specialized skills.
Build/debug/governance/monitoring updated for use-case framing. Tools
that genuinely cross tiers (e.g. debug skill borrowing
get_store_flow_summary) are correct when the workflow needs them — the
split between skills is by use-case intent, not by tool partition.
Build skill: new Step 3a Resolving Dynamic Connector Values covers
get_live_dynamic_options outer-parameter auto-bridge (v1.1.6+) and the
AadGraph user-picker fallback via shared_office365users.SearchUserV2
(replaces broken builtInOperation:AadGraph.GetUsers).
Debug skill: Outlook user-picker failure note pointing at the fallback.
Monitoring skill description disambiguates from the server's monitor-flow
tool bundle (runtime control of a single flow) — this skill is
tenant-wide health analytics over the cached store.
All 5 skills validate via npm run skill:validate; line endings LF only;
codespell clean; auto-regenerated docs/README.skills.md included.
* fix(flowstudio): remove deprecated tool references
The v1.1.5 MCP server release marked 5 tools [DEPRECATED] but the
previous alignment commit missed them. Replacements per server source:
- get_live_flow_http_schema → read trigger.inputs.schema from get_live_flow
- get_live_flow_trigger_url → read trigger.metadata.callbackUrl from get_live_flow
- get_store_flow_trigger_url → get_store_flow.triggerUrl field
- get_store_flow_errors → get_store_flow_runs(status=["Failed"])
- set_store_flow_state → set_live_flow_state
Touches build, debug, governance, monitoring SKILL.md and the
foundation skill's tool-reference.md. Remaining mentions of the
deprecated names are intentional — they live in deprecation notices
naming the obsolete wrapper alongside its replacement.
* Update FlowStudio Power Automate skills
* Cover latest FlowStudio MCP actions
* Trim FlowStudio Power Automate skills
* Number FlowStudio build workflow steps
* 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

Add documentation for features shipped in Copilot CLI v1.0.40 and
the v1.0.41 prerelease builds that weren't yet covered in the Hub:
- copilot-configuration-basics.md: document --attachment flag for
attaching images/documents in prompt mode (-p)
- automating-with-hooks.md: extend the prompt mode security callout
to cover the new GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS env var
(user extensions load by default; project extensions need opt-in)
- building-custom-agents.md: note that ACP clients receive the
agent's live plan in real time for multi-step tasks (v1.0.40+)

* 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.

* docs: update readme
* chore: match version with gem-team
