Research direction

Start by running copilot plugin install --help and locating the command's help-text definition in the repository. Add the documented local-directory source format, then rerun the help command and confirm it lists all five supported formats, including ./path/to/plugin.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area:installation area:plugins

copilot plugin install --help lists four source formats but omits local paths. According to docs these are supported: the help should also list ./path/to/plugin - Install from a local directory

My scenario was working on plugin/skills in a local repo and wanting to try loading them.
