In @.claude-plugin/marketplace.json:
- Around line 26-27: Stage the removal of the automated-ai-engineer marketplace
identity instead of deleting it directly before version 2.0.0, preserving
backward-compatible resolution or adding explicit migration guidance and
downstream verification for existing qualified references. Apply the same
coordinated migration in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json at lines 26-27 and
.github/plugin/marketplace.json at lines 26-27 so Claude and Copilot/VS Code
consumers receive identical compatibility treatment.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 72: Revise the README text describing the partial install command so it
states that installing gitops-knowledge resolves only that skill, not all
bundled skills. Clarify that --all installs every skill across agents, while
--skill gitops-* --agent cursor targets skills for the cursor agent; preserve
the distinction that MCP servers and custom agents require plugin installation.
In `@scripts/validate-manifests.test.sh`:
- Around line 656-660: Update the neutral-prose test around make_desired_state
and check_pass to include a non-brand word containing one of the checked
provider terms as a substring, such as “codexes,” while keeping the assertion
that validation passes; ensure the case exercises word-boundary handling rather
than trivially omitting all provider terms.

📓 Common learnings
Learnt from: CR
Repo: devantler-tech/agent-plugins
Timestamp: 2026-07-22T19:33:49.160Z
Learning: Prefer additive, backward-compatible changes because the marketplace is shared across all agent-tool consumers.

Learning: Bundled skill artifact files at `plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md` are synced from upstream and must not be hand-edited locally. If you need to change a skill, update the corresponding upstream skill repository first, then pull the updated artifact into this repo using the `update-agent-skills` workflow (and review the resulting diff for the synced contents).

Tie each bootstrap prompt to its declared role
When a schedule prompt accidentally invokes another role, this check still accepts it because it only looks for the generic words load, agents.md, and invoke; I changed the automated-ai-engineer prompt to invoke agent-improver and the validator still exited 0. That lets a conflicting dispatch pass CI even though the desired-state contract requires schedule prompts to point to their canonical role sources, so validate each prompt against its schedule key/definitionFrom target and add a mismatched-role self-test.

Gate the runtime source revision on reviewed code
When spec.runtime.execution.sourceRevision is changed to an unreviewed or floating source, this source check still exits 0 because it validates only spec.source.updatePolicy; I set sourceRevision to floating-unreviewed-head and the full validator passed. A reconciler can follow the execution field and run unreviewed role code despite the manifest claiming a reviewed-source policy, so require this field to be latest-reviewed-default-branch (or otherwise prove it agrees with the source policy).

Enforce the optional-role enablement conditions
When agent-improver.enabledWhen is changed to always, the validator still exits 0 because this field is checked only as a non-empty string. That can make the desired state tell a runtime to enable the meta-engineer without the definition-location and authority sections that constrain what it may edit, directly conflicting with the required consumer contract; validate both optional roles' conditions against their corresponding required-section sets rather than accepting arbitrary prose.

Reject providers outside the partial brand blocklist
When a policy names a provider omitted from this regex, the supposedly provider-neutral resource passes validation; for example, setting spec.runtime.model.selectionPolicy to Use Amazon Bedrock exclusively still makes the full validator exit 0. The current seven-brand blocklist therefore cannot enforce the documented provider-neutral contract, so validate constrained policy values or provider identifiers structurally instead of relying on an incomplete name scan.

Pin the execution safety policies to their safe values
When the execution policies are inverted, the validator still exits 0 because branchNamespacePolicy, permissions, and approvalMode are required only to be non-empty strings; I independently changed them to a shared branch, unrestricted root access, and mandatory interactive approval for scheduled work, and each mutation passed. Those values drive an unattended writer, so this lets isolation and least-privilege regress while CI stays green; require the canonical safe values or constrained enums instead.

Summary
automated-ai-engineerbundle intoagentic-engineeringv2agent-instructionsandfind-skillsskills, and remove the unused Copilot SDK and instruction-blueprint skillsWhy
The autonomous engineering system should have one installable identity and one declarative onboarding surface. Generic role logic remains in the plugin, while organization inventory, trust, cadence, memory, FinOps boundaries, and maintainer channels remain in the consumer's canonical
AGENTS.md.This removes the ambiguous two-plugin setup and lets a new assistant reconcile native agents, schedules, memory, permissions, and model policy from Git-tracked desired state without turning runtime UI configuration into the source of truth.
