Description

Updates the winui and winappcli external plugin listings to WinApp CLI v0.8.0. Both plugins now ship from microsoft/WinAppCli. winui moved there from microsoft/win-dev-skills, which now only pins it.

winui: version 0.7.1 → 0.8.0. source.repo, homepage and repository → microsoft/WinAppCli. source.ref v0.7.1 → v0.8.0, and source.sha → 696222f (the commit the v0.8.0 tag points at). source.path stays plugins/winui/agent-plugin.
winappcli: version 0.7.1 → 0.8.0. Adds source.ref v0.8.0, and source.sha 7c4e67e → 696222f.

No other fields change. Both plugins/external.json and its .github/plugin/marketplace.json mirror are updated.

What users get: winui 0.8.0 removes the winui-session-report skill and shortens skill descriptions. winappcli 0.8.0 adds the winapp-performance and winui-devtools skills (14 skills).

Type of Contribution

Additional Notes

I maintain both plugins in microsoft/WinAppCli. Checks I ran locally on the changed entries:

validateExternalPlugins (marketplace policy): no errors or warnings for either entry.
The gates in eng/external-plugin-quality-gates.mjs on a fresh clone of microsoft/WinAppCli at 696222f: spec compliance, version match (v0.8.0 and the sha), ref/SHA consistency and vally lint (0.20.0) all pass for both plugins.
Install smoke test with Copilot CLI, from a temporary marketplace holding these entries: winui 0.8.0 installed (7 skills and the winui-dev agent) and winappcli 0.8.0 installed (14 skills).

I didn't run npm start. No generated file other than .github/plugin/marketplace.json references these entries, and its entries match plugins/external.json exactly.

By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution abides by the Code of Conduct and will be licensed under the MIT License.

Both plugins now ship from microsoft/WinAppCli. Pin both entries to the v0.8.0 release tag and its commit, and point winui's homepage, repository and source at microsoft/WinAppCli instead of microsoft/win-dev-skills.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Independent verification of the pinned WinAppCli tag/SHA and upstream manifest versions was blocked by GitHub organization SAML enforcement, so maintainer confirmation is required.

🙋 Added needs-reviewer. Reviewer routing is assigning a reviewer now.

aaronpowell

Thanks for keeping the winappcli and winui listings current. The v0.8.0 tag in microsoft/WinAppCli resolves to 696222f72e80c669671845bd6c7b0286eefab987, the sha now recorded for both plugins/winapp and plugins/winui/agent-plugin, and the plugin.json at that commit declares 0.8.0 for each, matching plugins/external.json. .github/plugin/marketplace.json carries the same changes, including winui's homepage, repository and source repo moving to microsoft/WinAppCli. The compare from the previous pins adds the winapp-performance and winui-devtools skills and drops the winui-session-report skill with its PowerShell script, with no hooks or MCP servers, and the external plugin quality checks (spec compliance, vally lint, install smoke test, version and ref/sha consistency) pass for both entries.
