What

Mark create-eth extensions as deprecated across the docs. No code changes — extensions still ship and work for now; this is docs-only, with removal to follow in a later phase.

Changes

  • CONTRIBUTING.md — drop the "create a PR to the example extension branch" contributor guideline.
  • contributors/THIRD-PARTY-EXTENSION.md — add a deprecation banner ([!WARNING]); guide kept for existing extension authors.
  • contributors/TEMPLATING.md / TEMPLATE-FILES.md — add deprecation note ([!NOTE]); templating mechanics kept, since create-eth still uses the template/args system internally to assemble instances.
  • contributors/DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md — reframe the templating intro away from extension-authoring; mark the args-sync checklist item (optional, deprecated).

All deprecation notes point users to skills as the replacement: https://docs.scaffoldeth.io/build-with-ai

Removed extensions from .github/workflows/lint-instances.yml:

  • Matrix reduced from 6 → 3 configs: [hardhat, foundry, no_solidity_framework] (dropped the three _with_extension variants).
  • Removed the 3 "Install application … with extension" steps.
  • Simplified the 6 if: conditionals that referenced _with_extension.

Notes

  • The user-facing README note (skills instead of extensions) is not in this PR — it'll land in scaffold-eth-2 and reach create-eth via backmerge.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add deprecation banners/notes to contributor docs, point to skills (https://docs.scaffoldeth.io/build-with-ai). Drop extension-PR contributor guideline. Code untouched.
