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

A collection of Copilot skills that convert common document formats into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Just tell Copilot what you need — the right skill is invoked automatically and the conversion happens behind the scenes.

copilot plugin install convert-to-md@awesome-copilot

What's Included

This plugin includes Word, Excel, and PDF conversion skills, detailed below.

Source

Skills

convert-word-to-md

Converts Word (.docx) documents to Markdown. Use it any time you want to read, summarize, review, compare, or extract information from a .docx file — even if you don't say "convert" explicitly.

"Summarize this Word document." "Extract all the action items from report.docx." "Compare these two contracts."

convert-excel-to-md

Converts Excel (.xlsx) workbooks to Markdown, rendering each sheet as a table. Use it any time you want to analyze, query, or summarize data in a spreadsheet — single file or a whole folder at once.

"What are the top 5 rows by revenue in this spreadsheet?" "Summarize all the worksheets in this workbook." "Process every Excel file in this folder."

convert-pdf-to-md

Converts PDF (.pdf) documents to Markdown, extracting both text and embedded images. Use it any time you want to read, summarize, or pull data from a PDF report, invoice, paper, or form.

"Summarize this PDF." "Extract all the dates mentioned in this contract." "Process all the PDFs in this folder."
