Does this skill automatically install missing dependencies?

No, it focuses on validation and guidance. It provides a detailed set of resolution steps to help you manually install or enable the correct plugins to satisfy requirements.

What is the difference between checking 'installed' vs 'enabled' plugins?

Checking 'enabled' plugins ensures your current active environment is stable, while checking 'installed' plugins helps you identify issues in your library that might prevent a plugin from being activated in the future.

How does the Dependency Checker identify missing plugins?

It parses the extends-plugin.json files of your plugins and compares the declared requirements against the list of currently enabled or installed plugins in your Claude environment.

Can I check dependencies for a single specific plugin?

Yes, you can use the --plugin flag to target a specific plugin and verify its unique requirements without scanning your entire library.
