Scans plugin source code to automatically identify and configure required plugin and system-level dependencies.
The Dependency Scanner skill simplifies Claude Code plugin development by automating the discovery of external requirements. By analyzing code patterns, it identifies calls to other plugins, marketplace skills, and system commands, then guides the developer through a streamlined batch confirmation process. This skill eliminates the manual guesswork involved in dependency management by automatically generating and updating the extends-plugin.json configuration file, ensuring your plugins have all necessary requirements properly documented for distribution.
