Can this skill automatically fix my plugin errors?

While it is primarily an auditing tool, it identifies 'auto-fixable' issues such as missing descriptions, incorrect YAML whitespace, and missing file execution permissions.

When is the best time to run a plugin audit?

You should use the audit skill throughout the development process, especially when validating plugin health or before publishing your plugin to a repository.

Does it require specific tools to run?

The skill utilizes standard terminal utilities like Read, Grep, Glob, find, and jq to analyze your plugin files without modifying them.

What does the Claude Plugin Audit skill specifically check?

It validates the structure and metadata of Claude Code plugins, including plugin.json files, command syntax, agent definitions, hook permissions, and SKILL.md documentation.

How does the skill handle different types of plugin issues?

Findings are categorized into three levels: Critical (blocks functionality), Warning (best practice violations), and Info (optional improvements for better quality).
