Future Marketplace for PromptFiles/Chatmodes and discoverability

[PlagueHO]

I created a similar repo to this a couple of weeks ago as well:
https://github.com/PlagueHO/github-copilot-assets-library

I was thinking it would make sense for me to contribute my promptfiles and chatmodes in here, but there is some cross-over (e.g. I've implemented a more "detailed" planner).

Is it worth me contributing my promptfiles/chatmodes to this repo?

CONSIDERATION: My thinking is that as the number of these promptfiles/chatmodes increase, discoverability, evaluation will become more difficult. Is there a longer-term goal (from GitHub) of creating a marketplace (think extension marketplace) with direct integration to Copilot (and allow Copilot to directly retrieve these through the extension/agent)? Also, including examples of the use cases/output is going to be necessary for really understanding how/why a resource solves.

Is it worth me contributing my promptfiles/chatmodes to this repo?

Yes, please, I don't think it's possible that we could have too much in here as it gives people options to find out what works for them, and inspiration for how to create their own instructions, promps, and chat modes.

CONSIDERATION: My thinking is that as the number of these promptfiles/chatmodes increase, discoverability, evaluation will become more difficult. Is there a longer-term goal (from GitHub) of creating a marketplace (think extension marketplace) with direct integration to Copilot (and allow Copilot to directly retrieve these through the extension/agent)? Also, including examples of the use cases/output is going to be necessary for really understanding how/why a resource solves.

We've floated a bunch of ideas around what the future will hold for the repo, and have prototyped out a few different ideas along the way, but right now, we wanted to focus on getting this into peoples hands and then as the amount of content grows we can determine what will be the best way to address the challenges, such as those you mention.

Cool - thanks @aaronpowell - will send some PRs through over the weekend. If you need help evaluating any future plans for this, feel free to reach out 😁
