Validate the Groundwork plugin for common issues. Usage /groundwork:groundwork-check.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Groundwork Plugin Health Check

Validates the Groundwork plugin installation and reports any issues.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Run Validation Script

Run the plugin validation script:

```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/validate-plugin.js"
```

### Step 2: Report Results

Present the validation results to the user:

- **If all checks pass:** Confirm plugin is healthy
- **If errors found:** List each error with file path and description
- **If warnings found:** List warnings as recommendations

### Step 3: Suggest Fixes

For any issues found, suggest specific fixes:

| Issue Type | Suggested Fix |
|------------|---------------|
| Missing frontmatter | Add `---` delimited YAML at file start |
| Literal `\n` in description | Use YAML block scalar (`\|`) |
| Non-standard field | Remove field or document exception |
| allowed_tools | Change to allowed-tools (hyphen) |
| @ syntax | Use explicit file paths |
| Missing execute permission | Run `chmod 755` on script |

### Step 4: Offer to Fix

If issues are found, offer to automatically fix simple issues:
- Permissions can be fixed with chmod
- YAML key names can be updated

Ask user before making any changes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add etr/groundwork/groundwork-check@sha256:41473efbac7760ed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.e142476, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
