Additional notes for reviewers

Updated to pin a newer immutable commit. The previously pinned SHA 398b518d5cedc9a27cf5d57b6e13eb8dc5e72af9 predated the Agent Plugins v1 manifest and therefore failed the spec-compliance, install-smoke-test, and version-match gates with "No plugin.json found in a recognized location". PR roli-lpci/agent-kickstart#20 added plugin.json at the repository root (the plugin root for this submission, which has no path) and merged to main as ad44e09f619ae180c87c016ed89fb487285a07db. That merge commit is now pinned above for immutable review; the plugin remains version 0.3.0.

The root manifest declares $schema https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json and uses only fields allowed by that closed schema. The repository also keeps a separate Claude Code manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json; the two agree on every shared field, and the Claude-only displayName is deliberately absent from the portable manifest.

No ref is supplied because no release tag points at this commit, so the sha alone is the immutable reference. The plugin is also listed in the independent Hermes Labs marketplace manifest (https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/copilot-plugins/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) as a root url source tracking main; that listing is independent of Awesome Copilot external-plugin intake and does not indicate Awesome Copilot acceptance. Submitted by the plugin's own maintainer (Hermes Labs).

Submission checklist

  • The plugin lives in a public GitHub repository.
  • The ref and/or sha I provided is immutable (release tag and/or full 40-character commit SHA), not a branch.
  • This submission follows this repository's contribution, security, and responsible AI policies.
  • This plugin is not already listed in the Awesome Copilot marketplace.
