Description

@aaronpowell
I realize I probably should have started a discussion first, but I started out just playing with the contributors library and got a little carried away 😆 Tbh, I'm not incredibly attached—I just hate wasting code when it could be useful. Let me know if you want changes or something taken back out!

Configure custom contribution types for instructions, prompts, agents, and collections
Add check for missing contributors to weekly GHA workflow file output to summary
Include ignore list (in case users request to be removed from README)
Create script that pulls from all-contributors CLI check and auto-adds contributor based on merged PRs

Type of Contribution

New instruction file.
New prompt file.
New chat mode file.
New collection file.
Update to existing instruction, prompt, chat mode, or collection.
Other (please specify):
- Enhancement to align contributors with types specific to this repo.

Additional Notes

I had to stop myself from adding a bot that does all this for you automatically! I figure less is safer, so I kept everything to the report-friendly version and an auto-add script strictly for local use. That last one I wasn't going to include at all, but then decided it could be used for automation later if one were so inclined.

This is what that report looks like with markdown formatted in workflow output summary:

ooo nifty, I didn't know you could do something like this.

There are some comments from Copilot on the regexes and stuff, can you review to see if any are actually valid

@aaronpowell I've got some basic changes made, but let me do some more validation testing before this gets merged. I'll post back with test results.

@aaronpowell It's good now 😄 Output is the same as before. I went ahead and added the missing skills section, too, and refreshed everything again. If anybody wants to explicitly opt-out of being displayed you can add their GH username to the .all-contributorsrc file, which I repurposed for that specifically. Also useful if any other bots start showing up on the report.

Let's let it run for awhile and lmk if you want to try to automate any more out of it. I left the oneadd-missing-contributors file in there, just in case. Or you can nix it if it gets in the way. It's not actually used anywhere asides from me refreshing everything locally.
