Additional notes for reviewers

This submission is for the hook-free reasonbook-chat edition in the indicated subfolder. It has an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 manifest and a local stdio MCP server. It records requested or approved choices and does not read conversation transcripts. No Reasonbook account or payment is required.

Local checks passed on 2026-11-05 with Copilot CLI 1.0.105 and vally CLI 0.20.0, against the public commit above. The unchanged eng/external-plugin-quality-gates.mjs at awesome-copilot commit e9281af1a4b3b8624b882d59e829d2cbf9fb0d72 reports PASS for manifest compliance, vally lint, installation smoke test, version match and ref/SHA consistency; overall PASS. Canvas structure is not run because this plugin is not tagged canvas. Six skills passed lint. The install smoke used a scratch HOME, no sign-in and no model call; it proves installation, not a successful MCP tool call.

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.

    /reject The skills are thin wrappers over a vendor MCP server, and the server itself is an npm package installed on first launch, outside the reviewed commit. What remains is a local notes and decisions memory, which overlaps with Copilot's built-in memory and AGENTS.md or ADRs. The launcher is POSIX-only and there is no evidence of a successful run in Copilot (the install smoke test only proves installation). It does not currently demonstrate enough differentiated value for this marketplace.

    ❌ External plugin rejected

    A maintainer rejected reasonbook-chat, and the submission issue has been closed.

    Reason

    The skills are thin wrappers over a vendor MCP server, and the server itself is an npm package installed on first launch, outside the reviewed commit. What remains is a local notes and decisions memory, which overlaps with Copilot's built-in memory and AGENTS.md or ADRs. The launcher is POSIX-only and there is no evidence of a successful run in Copilot (the install smoke test only proves installation). It does not currently demonstrate enough differentiated value for this marketplace.

    This issue is now closed and /rerun-intake will no longer reopen it. If you address the feedback, please open a new external plugin submission issue.
