What specifically does this skill check in a plugin?

It validates the existence of plugin.json, mandatory fields like 'name', frontmatter requirements in MD files, file path consistency, and JSON syntax for hooks.

Can I use this to validate specific components of my plugin?

Yes, you can target specific directories such as commands, skills, or agents to verify their individual formatting and metadata.

Does it identify semantic errors or just structural ones?

It primarily focuses on structural integrity and metadata compliance, ensuring that Claude Code can correctly interpret and load the plugin.

What is the difference between an error and a warning in this tool?

Errors indicate missing requirements that will break the plugin, while warnings suggest best practices like including a version number or a CLAUDE.md file.

Do I need to install external tools to use this validation?

The skill utilizes standard tools like Bash, jq, and Grep to perform its checks, which are typically available in the Claude Code environment.
