Description

Adds globestudio, a plugin for dotted world maps and animated 3D globes made with Globestudio (https://globestudio.app), a free, MIT licensed studio with no account. The plugin bundles the globestudio skill with the hosted Globestudio MCP server (https://globestudio.app/mcp, declared in plugins/globestudio/mcp.json), so copilot plugin install globestudio@awesome-copilot installs both.

It teaches the agent how a design travels in a link (the ?c= config), how to embed one with @globestudio/react, the @globestudio/element web component or an iframe, which of the 21 looks keep a brand color, and the limits: 32,000 character embed URLs, 250 data points, WebGL 2. It also says when not to use it: tiled maps, routing, GIS and ordinary charts.

The three reference files are generated from the app's source in https://github.com/alevizio/globestudio, where a test fails when they fall behind. The skill folder is markdown only, with no scripts. The embeds it writes load from globestudio.app, which is free and needs no account.


Type of Contribution

  • New instruction file.
  • New prompt file.
  • New agent file.
  • New plugin.
  • New skill file.
  • New agentic workflow.
  • New canvas extension.
  • Update to existing instruction, prompt, agent, plugin, skill, workflow, or canvas extension.
  • Other (please specify):

Additional Notes

I'm the author of Globestudio and the skill. The source lives in skills/globestudio of the repo above; I'll send updates here when it changes. npm start, plugin:validate, skill:validate and codespell pass. I haven't run it in GitHub Copilot itself yet, only in Claude Code and Codex, so that box is unticked.

I think this does look like an interesting skill for inclusion, but the main issue is that it's clearly lifted from the one that was written for Claude, in that it refers to how you would add the MCP server using the claude binary not via Copilot.

Given there is a companion MCP server, it might be worthwhile turning this into a plugin (see this part of the contributing guide) in which you provide a mcp.json file (we use the Agent Plugins spec approach) so then someone is able to install everything together easily.

Brings the branch up to date and keeps both new codespell entries:
errorprone from main, and fro and nd for the globestudio region tables.

…r Copilot

As the review asked: plugins/globestudio bundles the globestudio skill
with the hosted Globestudio MCP server, declared in mcp.json the way the
Agent Plugins spec does, so `copilot plugin install globestudio@awesome-copilot`
installs both together.

The skill no longer tells Copilot users to run `claude mcp add` or
`codex mcp add`. It says the plugin brings the server, and how to add it
otherwise: `copilot mcp add --transport http` in Copilot CLI, or an HTTP
server in .vscode/mcp.json in VS Code. Its config reference also picks up
viewSwitch, a key the embed gained since.

npm start regenerated docs/README.plugins.md and the marketplace entry;
plugin:validate, skill:validate and codespell pass.

Thanks for the review, @aaronpowell. Good catch on the claude command.

I've turned it into a plugin: plugins/globestudio bundles the skill with the hosted Globestudio MCP server, declared in mcp.json per the Agent Plugins spec, so copilot plugin install globestudio@awesome-copilot installs both. The skill now tells Copilot users that the plugin brings the server, and otherwise to use copilot mcp add --transport http or an HTTP server in .vscode/mcp.json, instead of the claude and codex commands.

I also merged main to clear the conflict, and ran npm start, plugin:validate, skill:validate and codespell.

Thanks for turning this into a plugin with mcp.json; that addresses the main concern from the earlier review. Before this can merge, the branch conflicts with main again. Please rebase and re-run npm start so the READMEs and marketplace.json regenerate cleanly.

Thanks @aaronpowell. I merged the latest main into the branch, so the conflicts are gone, and re-ran npm start: the READMEs and marketplace.json are regenerated, and plugin:validate and skill:validate pass. Ready for another look.

Thanks @alevizio — the plugin + mcp.json packaging and the rebase both look good; the gate passes on 6f33d3c and no Claude-specific install steps remain. Non-blocking: please confirm a quick run in GitHub Copilot (copilot plugin install globestudio@awesome-copilot plus one map request). Approving.
