Ashley Wolf e9c8e37041 Add contributor attribution to canvas extension cards (#2111)
Show "by @handle" on each canvas extension card and in the details
modal, linking to the contributor's GitHub profile. Author metadata
lives in each extension's canvas.json (and external.json for external
extensions), where the rest of the canvas metadata is stored.

- Store author {name, url} in canvas.json / external.json
- Read author from canvas.json in the website data generator and emit
  it to extensions.json
- Render the GitHub @handle, derived from the profile URL, as the link
  text, with the contributor's name as the link title
- Escape the sanitized author URL before interpolating it into href

Contributor Reporting (Maintainers) 🚧

This directory contains build scripts and utilities for maintaining the repository.

Build Scripts

update-readme.mjs

Generates the main README.md and documentation files from the repository content (agents, prompts, instructions, skills, hooks, collections).

generate-marketplace.mjs

Automatically generates .github/plugin/marketplace.json from all plugin directories in the plugins/ folder. This file is used by the GitHub Copilot CLI to discover and install plugins from this repository.

How it works:

  • Scans all directories in plugins/
  • Reads each plugin's .github/plugin/plugin.json for metadata
  • Generates a consolidated marketplace.json with all available plugins
  • Runs automatically as part of npm run build

To run manually:

npm run plugin:generate-marketplace

generate-website-data.mjs

Generates JSON data files for the website from repository content.

Contributor Tools

  • contributor-report.mjs — generates a markdown report of merged PRs for missing contributors (includes shared helpers).
  • add-missing-contributors.mjs — on-demand maintainer script to automatically add missing contributors to .all-contributorsrc (infers contribution types from merged PR files, then runs the all-contributors CLI).

Key notes for maintainers

  • Reports are generated on-demand and output to reports/contributor-report.md for human review.
  • The report output is intentionally minimal: a single list of affected PRs and one command to add missing contributor(s).
  • This repository requires full git history for accurate analysis. In CI, set fetch-depth: 0.
  • Link: all-contributors CLI documentation

On-demand scripts (not CI)

These are maintainer utilities. They are intentionally on-demand only (but could be wired into CI later).

add-missing-contributors.mjs

  • Purpose: detect missing contributors, infer contribution types from their merged PR files, and run npx all-contributors add ... to update .all-contributorsrc.
  • Requirements:
    • GitHub CLI (gh) available (used to query merged PRs).
    • .all-contributorsrc exists.
    • Auth token set to avoid the anonymous GitHub rate limits:
      • Set GITHUB_TOKEN (preferred), or GH_TOKEN for the gh CLI.
      • If you use PRIVATE_TOKEN locally, contributor-report.mjs will map it to GITHUB_TOKEN.

Graceful shutdown

  • contributor-report.mjs calls setupGracefulShutdown('script-name') from eng/utils/graceful-shutdown.mjs early in the file to attach signal/exception handlers.

Testing & maintenance

  • Helper functions have small, deterministic behavior and include JSDoc comments.
  • The getMissingContributors function in contributor-report.mjs is the single source of truth for detecting missing contributors from all-contributors check output.
