c1c80f3cc8 Adding support for Copilot Marketplace plugin (#47)
* Add GitHub Copilot plugin and marketplace manifests for Ponytail

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Add Copilot hook adapters and plugin data runtime precedence

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Document Copilot plugin install flow and instruction fallback mode

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix Copilot hooks for native output context and state-only mode tracking

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* docs: add Copilot CLI namespaced command examples

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Collapse Copilot hooks into shared activate/mode-tracker

The Copilot hook files duplicated ponytail-activate.js and
ponytail-mode-tracker.js, differing only in output shape. Move that
difference into writeHookOutput (isCopilot branch) and point
copilot-hooks.json at the shared hooks. Deletes both forks (-73 lines).

* Align Copilot manifest version to 4.4.0 with cross-manifest parity test

* Make Copilot and Codex host detection exclusive in runtime output routing

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Add Copilot debt command validation with a pull request acceptance checklist

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Removed PR template

* Drop tautological copilot command-form test

The namespaced-form assertion built '/ponytail:ponytail-debt' from two
constants and compared it to itself — it tests string concatenation, not
wiring. The file-exists check above already catches a renamed manifest.

# Agent Portability
Ponytail is an agent-portable skill distribution. The skills in `skills/` hold
the core behavior; host-specific files are adapters that make that behavior easy
to load in a given agent.
## Supported Adapters
| Host | Files | Notes |
|------|-------|-------|
| Claude Code | `.claude-plugin/`, `commands/`, `hooks/` | Full plugin install with session activation, mode tracking, commands, and statusline support. |
| Codex | `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, `hooks/hooks.json`, `hooks/`, `skills/` | Plugin install with the same skills plus lifecycle hooks for activation and mode tracking. |
| OpenCode | `.opencode/plugins/ponytail.mjs`, `.opencode/command/`, `hooks/`, `skills/` | Server plugin injects the ruleset each turn via `experimental.chat.system.transform` and persists `/ponytail` switches; reuses the shared instruction builder. |
| pi | `pi-extension/`, `skills/`, `hooks/` | Package extension: injects the ruleset each turn through the shared instruction builder and registers the `/ponytail` commands. |
| Gemini CLI | `gemini-extension.json`, `AGENTS.md`, `commands/`, `skills/` | Extension manifest points `contextFileName` at `AGENTS.md` for always-on rules, and reuses the existing `commands/*.toml` and `skills/`, which Gemini CLI auto-discovers. |
| Cursor | `.cursor/rules/ponytail.mdc` | Always-on project rule. |
| Windsurf | `.windsurf/rules/ponytail.md` | Project rule. |
| Cline | `.clinerules/ponytail.md` | Project rule. |
| GitHub Copilot | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Repository instruction file. |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | `.github/plugin/`, `AGENTS.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md` | Plugin-supported (`copilot plugin marketplace add DietrichGebert/ponytail` + `copilot plugin install ponytail@ponytail`). Fallback instruction mode remains: per-project from `AGENTS.md` or `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, or globally from `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md` (instruction-tier, no `/ponytail` levels or hooks). |
| Antigravity | `AGENTS.md` | Reads `AGENTS.md` at the repo root as always-on rules (like `.cursorrules`/`CLAUDE.md`); `.agents/rules/` also works for workspace rules. Instruction-tier. |
| VS Code + Codex extension | `AGENTS.md` | The Codex extension reads `AGENTS.md` (repo root, or `~/.codex/AGENTS.md` globally). Instruction-tier; the full Codex plugin row above adds `/ponytail` levels and hooks. |
| Kiro | `.kiro/steering/ponytail.md` | Steering rule; copy globally or into a project. |
| Generic agents | `AGENTS.md` or `skills/*/SKILL.md` | Copy the compact rule file or load the skill files directly. |
## Adapter Rule
Keep adapters thin. When a host supports skills or hooks, point it at the
existing `skills/` and `hooks/` files. When a host only supports project
instructions, keep its copied rule text aligned with `AGENTS.md`.
## Portable Behavior
- `skills/ponytail/SKILL.md`: lazy senior dev mode
- `skills/ponytail-review/SKILL.md`: over-engineering review
- `skills/ponytail-audit/SKILL.md`: whole-repo over-engineering audit
- `skills/ponytail-debt/SKILL.md`: harvest `ponytail:` shortcuts into a tracked ledger
- `skills/ponytail-help/SKILL.md`: quick reference
- `AGENTS.md`: compact always-on instruction set for agents without skill support
