Apologies for not getting onto this more quickly ☹️.

A very minimal valuable package replacing two spaces typed, with a period. It took us a short while to determine that regex: was required to permit this. No shell, script or potentially malicious code.

One very minor recommendation to avoid misleading others into thinking brackets in the trigger are necessary, but good to merge otherwise. I've let CoPilot do its stuff but I think it's running down an unnecessary rabbit-hole!

Would you kindly amend this to the simplest - regex: ' ' or "\ \ " as suggested in https://discord.com/channels/884163483409731584/1013916990760554608/1466710043415150715, please, or shall I?

regex: "(\ \ )" is likely invalid YAML: in YAML double-quoted strings, backslash starts an escape sequence, and \ is typically treated as an unknown/invalid escape. This can break parsing and prevent the package from loading. Use a YAML-safe representation (e.g., single quotes and/or a clearer regex like {2}) so the file parses correctly and the intended “two spaces” match is unambiguous.

Suggested change

	- regex: "(\ \ )"
	- regex: '( {2})'

It's not invalid, but as I pointed out the brackets are not needed. ' {2}' is perhaps the clearest of the alternatives, however.

The description reads a bit grammatically off (“Add period…”). Consider adjusting to something like “Add a period with a double-space, like macOS or smartphones.” since this shows up as user-facing package metadata.

Suggested change

	description: Add period with double-space, like macOS or smartphones.
	description: Add a period with a double-space, like macOS or smartphones.

Copilot is wrong - the replacement doesn't add a period with a double-space.
