Why This Exists

Copilot plugins are updated manually with:

copilot plugin update <plugin-name>

Consumer repositories do not automatically receive plugin updates.

Weekly Check Pattern

Add a scheduled workflow that fetches the marketplace and prints available versions. Teams can extend it to open an issue or PR.

name: Check Copilot Plugin Updates

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 9 * * 1'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Fetch Neexo marketplace
        run: |
          curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NeexoCore/awesome-neexo/main/.github/plugin/marketplace.json \
            | jq -r '.plugins[] | "\(.name) \(.version)"'

Team Process

When a plugin update matters, update the local installed plugin with copilot plugin update, then verify Copilot Chat Diagnostics in VS Code.
