Can the Plugin Validator fix errors automatically?

Yes, it can auto-fix several common issues including script permissions (chmod +x), JSON formatting via jq, and syncing version numbers across metadata files.

How do I trigger a validation check?

You can activate the skill by asking Claude to 'validate plugin', 'check plugin structure', or 'verify plugin compliance' within your development environment.

What specifically does this skill validate?

It checks for required files like plugin.json and LICENSE, validates JSON schemas, verifies frontmatter in Markdown files, audits script permissions, and scans for security risks like hardcoded API keys.

Is this skill specific to a certain repository?

While optimized for the standards of the claude-code-plugins repository, its validation logic applies to the general structure required for all Claude Code plugins.
