| description | Maintenance + advance task menu for the shared AGENT-EXTENSION libraries — devantler-tech/agent-skills (generic Copilot/agent skills, gh-skill-installable) and devantler-tech/agent-plugins (once it exists). Generic, cross-tool, industry-standard building blocks reused across the suite; high-care and backward-compatible. Use when the daily maintainer selects skills/plugins or runs the holistic shared-library review. |
Maintain: Skills + Plugins (shared agent extensions)
The shared agent-extension libraries — the agentic counterpart to the CI building blocks in the
github-actions card:
devantler-tech/agent-skills — generic Copilot/agent skills, gh skill-installable. Not a submodule —
work via the GitHub API, or clone it standalone into a per-run worktree if you need to build/validate.
Read its ## Maintenance in https://github.com/devantler-tech/agent-skills/blob/main/AGENTS.md (create
that section if missing — align it with the others).devantler-tech/agent-plugins — does not exist yet. If a plugin-shaped pattern becomes ready, propose
creating the repo (flag the maintainer) rather than forcing it into skills or a product.
These are shared libraries — design for reuse, not for one product. Keep them generic and
industry-standard (the portability principle: a Claude→Copilot/ChatGPT switch should stay painless),
additive & backward-compatible (every product is a potential consumer), and well-tested. Don't
put product-specific logic here.
Advance them via the holistic review (contract Holistic review; product-engineering
§7): when a generic skill/convention has emerged across 2+ products, extract it here so every product
inherits it, then migrate consumers. Triage/label issues, drive trusted-author PRs to merge, keep deps
& docs current.
Shared cross-repo rules are in the monorepo AGENTS.md. This card is a pointer
by design.
Roadmap & enhancement
Roadmap lives in GitHub Issues on devantler-tech/agent-skills (roadmap label). The strategic frame:
what generic capability would most help the suite next? — surface candidates from the holistic review.
