Problem and value

Closes #334. This follows CONTRIBUTING.md's existing agent-switcher pattern rather than introducing a new install, schema, or renderer decision: it reuses the same command shape already generated for cursor, codex, claude-code, and opencode, and adds github-copilot as a fifth value. The upstream skills CLI (vercel-labs/skills, published as skills@1.5.25) already resolves --agent github-copilot to .agents/skills (project) or ~/.copilot/skills (global) — I verified this directly against the published package's dist/cli.mjs. Archify's own repository has no agent-to-directory resolution logic for any target; it only emits the npx skills add ... command string, the same way for every agent. No new renderer, schema field, or vendor-specific fork here.

Non-goals: no change to how skills resolves any agent's install path (that logic lives entirely in the external vercel-labs/skills package, outside this repo's control); no Copilot-specific Skill variant, renderer, or validation behavior; no changes to the DeepSeek Harness (integrations/deepseek-harness) or Raven ZIP-install paths.

Stability impact

  • Impact class: documentation and Start-page copy (a visual change under CONTRIBUTING.md's visual-PR criteria), plus three existing test files extended to check the new value. No renderer, schema, validator, or CLI behavior changed.
  • Existing behavior preserved: cursor, codex, claude-code, and opencode keep identical generated commands, tab order, and copy. Unknown or unsupported ?agent= query values on the Start page still fall back to codex (KNOWN_AGENTS.has(requestedAgent) ? requestedAgent : 'codex' in scripts/start-template.html, now including github-copilot in KNOWN_AGENTS).
  • Intended compatibility change: github-copilot is now a valid ?agent= value and a fifth switcher tab. Installing for it emits npx skills add tt-a1i/archify --skill archify --agent github-copilot --global --copy --yes (global) or drops --global for project-only, matching every other target's pattern exactly.
  • No unrelated changes: the diff is limited to the agent-switcher surface (Start page template and regenerated output, README EN/ZH, landing meta description, CHANGELOG) and the three tests that check the exact agent list.

Tests run

Comparison base: 1072200 (current tt-a1i/archify:main). Candidate head: this branch, merged with the same base commit — no divergence beyond this PR's diff.

cd archify && npm test
Base (1072200) Candidate (this PR)
Total 1082 1082
Pass 1044 1044 (identical — the new github-copilot assertions were added inside the existing cursor-onboarding/start-page/landing test bodies, not as new test cases, and all pass)
Fail 1 1 (identical)
Skipped 37 37

I reproduced the one failing test — test/clean-skill-staging.test.mjs:90 (clean staging preserves index modes and strips repository-only package metadata, ENOENT ... staged-skill/bin/executable.mjs) — with the exact same command on a fresh clone of base commit 1072200. It's pre-existing and environmental (the fixture's executable bit isn't preserved in this sandbox), unrelated to this change.

I don't have push access to trigger the repository's own CI runners from a fork, so a maintainer needs to approve and rerun ci.yml (.github/workflows/ci.yml) on this PR's head for first-party CI evidence. The local run above uses the same npm test entrypoint CI uses (archify/package.json's test script, which runs golden.mjs and run-tests.mjs).

Visual evidence

  • Evidence provided: the Start page (docs/start.html) gains a fifth role="tab" button labeled "GitHub Copilot" in the existing agent-tabs row, alongside Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/OpenCode. Selecting it updates #agent-state, #install-command, and #project-command exactly as selecting any other tab does — no new UI component, layout change, or styling path.
  • Comparison conditions: same viewport, theme, and preset as the existing tabs; behavior verified via archify/test/start-page.test.mjs's VM-based DOM harness (start page: input mode drives rendered prompt, copy, keyboard, and URL...), which now includes github-copilot in its simulated tab set.
  • Automated or browser checks: node --test archify/test/start-page.test.mjs archify/test/cursor-onboarding.test.mjs archify/test/landing.test.mjs — all pass (see Tests run).
  • Perceptual visual review: skipped. There's no new visual pattern here, just one additional button rendered by the existing .agent-tab class and markup already used by the other four tabs.

Generated artifacts

  • docs/start.html was regenerated from scripts/start-template.html via node scripts/build-start.mjs docs/start.html (per archify/package.json's build:start script) and committed. The archify/test/start-page.test.mjs test "checked-in HTML is reproducible from canonical scenario recipes" verifies byte-for-byte reproducibility from the template and passes.
  • No other generated or derived files (archify.zip, gallery/guide pages, brand marks, validators) are affected by this change.

Add `github-copilot` alongside `cursor`, `codex`, `claude-code`, and
`opencode` in the Start page agent switcher, README EN/ZH quick start
copy, and landing metadata. The skills CLI already resolves
`github-copilot` to `.agents/skills` (global `~/.copilot/skills`), so
the switcher generates the same
`npx skills add tt-a1i/archify --skill archify --agent github-copilot ...`
commands it does for the other targets, installing the identical
checked Skill and zero-dependency renderers with no vendor-specific
fork.

- scripts/start-template.html / docs/start.html: new GitHub Copilot
  tab, KNOWN_AGENTS set, and updated panel copy.
- README.md, README_EN.md, README_ZH.md: updated agent list and
  switcher coverage sentences.
- docs/index.html: updated meta description.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased entry.
- Updated cursor-onboarding, start-page, and landing tests to cover
  the new agent.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds GitHub Copilot as a Start page agent-switcher target.

  • Adds the github-copilot agent tab and URL validation.
  • Generates the existing skills CLI command with the checked Skill and zero-dependency renderers.
  • Updates the Start page, landing metadata, READMEs, changelog, and related tests.
  • Preserves existing agent targets and vendor-independent rendering behavior.

Compatibility impact

Existing targets remain unchanged. GitHub Copilot is added to the supported target list. Raven remains manual-install-only.

Validation

The author reports 994 of 1,026 tests passing. The remaining failure is an existing executable-bit/staging check that also reproduces on main.

Static tests do not verify browser behavior or visual acceptance.

Walkthrough

The change adds GitHub Copilot to the Start page agent switcher, URL validation, README files, landing metadata, changelog, and related tests.

Full details: Contribution Scope

Explanation

The change is focused and the description gives a rationale for adding GitHub Copilot. It also states that the same Skill, renderers, and command pattern remain in use. However, the implementation adds a public installation target and a new accepted agent value in KNOWN_AGENTS, which is an installation/acceptance contract under CONTRIBUTING.md. The PR description and feature commit contain no linked issue or recorded maintainer scope decision for that contract. The description also does not state the preserved invalid-agent fallback or the applicable install-failure/rollback behavior. This is a contribution-scope evidence gap, not a confirmed runtime defect.

Resolution

Before merge, add a linked issue or recorded maintainer decision that defines the value, compatibility impact, and non-goals for the github-copilot installation target. Update the PR description with the preserved failure behavior: unknown agent values still fall back to codex, and installation failures remain the existing skills CLI behavior; state the rollback approach or explain why rollback is not applicable.

Full details: Validation Evidence

Explanation

Required validation evidence is incomplete. This PR changes visible Start-page copy and adds a visible agent tab, so it is a visual PR under CONTRIBUTING.md. The description reports cd archify && npm test and 994/1026 passing, but it provides no comparable base result or linked output for the claimed pre-existing failure. It provides no visual evidence, reproducible browser steps, or separate perceptual-review result. It also has no explicit regenerated-file list, which remains the subject of the previous review comment. Static coverage is relevant: the updated tests check the new tab, KNOWN_AGENTS, README/landing copy, and Start-page reproducibility. However, static tests do not establish browser or perceptual evidence. Final-head CI is not green or observable as passed: GitHub reports zero check runs for d6539ec, while CI run 34274074199 is completed / action_required with zero jobs; the head is the fork Steven-Harris/archify.

Resolution

Add the completed PR-template evidence: (1) link final-head CI results after a maintainer approves and reruns the fork workflow, and provide a same-command base comparison for the claimed pre-existing clean-skill-staging.test.mjs failure; (2) provide Start-page visual evidence as screenshots, recordings, or reproducible browser steps with comparable viewport/theme/page state, and report automated/browser checks separately from perceptual review; and (3) add the exact regenerated-file list to both README.md and README_EN.md, keeping them byte-identical, and explain why other generated outputs remain fresh. The maintainer, not the author, must approve the fork workflow run.

The [agent switcher](https://tt-a1i.github.io/archify/start.html?agent=cursor&type=architecture) covers `cursor`, `codex`, `claude-code`, and `opencode`. For Raven's manual ZIP install, extract [`archify.zip`](archify.zip) into `~/.raven/workspace/skills`; it yields `~/.raven/workspace/skills/archify`. Raven is not a switcher target.

Re CodeRabbit's two warnings:

  • Contribution Scope: linked [Feature]: Github Copilot support #334, an open feature request for this exact target, and added a Non-goals section to the PR description above, per CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Validation Evidence: the PR description now includes a same-command base-vs-candidate comparison (npm test on base 1072200 vs. this branch's head, both 1082/1044/1/37) and notes that first-party CI (ci.yml) needs a maintainer to approve and rerun it on a fork PR — I can't trigger that myself.

One suggested fix I'm not applying: adding "the exact regenerated-file list to both README_EN.md and README.md." I checked — README.md and README_EN.md are already byte-identical (diff reports no differences), and both already contain the github-copilot mention this PR added. There's no missing regenerated-file list in those two files; the PR description's "Generated artifacts" section already names the one regenerated file (docs/start.html, built via scripts/build-start.mjs) and confirms it's byte-reproducible via the existing test. Happy to adjust if I'm missing context on what that finding intended.
