Validate plugin structure and silent failures. TRIGGERS - plugin validation, check plugin, hook audit.
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
# Plugin Validator
Comprehensive validation for Claude Code marketplace plugins.
> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Validating plugin structure before release
- Auditing hooks for silent failures
- Checking plugin.json syntax and required fields
- Verifying skill file formatting and frontmatter
## Quick Start
```bash
# Validate a specific plugin
uv run plugins/plugin-dev/skills/plugin-validator/scripts/audit_silent_failures.py plugins/my-plugin/
# Validate with fix suggestions
uv run plugins/plugin-dev/skills/plugin-validator/scripts/audit_silent_failures.py plugins/my-plugin/ --fix
```
## Validation Phases
### Phase 1: Structure Validation
Check plugin directory structure:
```bash
/usr/bin/env bash << 'VALIDATE_EOF'
PLUGIN_PATH="${1:-.}"
# Check plugin.json exists
if [[ ! -f "$PLUGIN_PATH/plugin.json" ]]; then
echo "ERROR: Missing plugin.json" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Validate JSON syntax
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/plugin-validator@sha256:a6edee7109e85dbbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260401.d376871, 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.
