What does the plugin validation check exactly?

It verifies that marketplace.json follows the JSON schema, all source paths exist on disk, SKILL.md frontmatter is correctly formatted, and every plugin contains at least one necessary component directory.

Does it require specific runtimes to function?

The validation tool requires Bun for JavaScript/TypeScript execution, while the hook audit tool is a shell script that runs via Bash.

How does the hook audit prevent silent failures?

It scans Shell scripts for dangerous file operations like 'mkdir' or 'cp' that lack error handling and identifies Python scripts using 'except: pass' blocks that suppress bugs.

Is ShellCheck integrated into the auditing process?

Yes, the hook audit script includes an optional ShellCheck integration that will provide deeper shell script analysis if the tool is installed on your system.

Can I use this to create new plugins from scratch?

Yes, the skill provides information on using an interactive scaffolding command to generate new plugin structures, ensuring they are compliant from the start.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Ensures Claude Code plugins meet quality standards by validating metadata frontmatter and auditing scripts for silent execution failures.

Plugin Development Tools (plugin-dev) is a specialized skill designed for developers contributing to the cc-skills marketplace or managing custom plugin repositories. It automates the validation of plugin metadata, ensuring SKILL.md files follow strict schema and naming conventions, while also verifying marketplace entries against local source paths. Furthermore, the skill provides a robust auditing mechanism for shell and Python hook scripts, detecting anti-patterns like silent failures or unhandled exceptions, which ensures high reliability across all plugin components and prevents difficult-to-debug runtime issues.
