| description | Validate plugin content quality before release. Run skill-validator across plugins, verify marketplace.json completeness, check plugin.json version consistency, and detect broken documentation cross-references. Use when preparing a release, before running release.sh, or when user mentions "release check", "pre-release", "plugin-release-checker", or "release validation". |
Plugin Release Checker
Pre-release content quality gate that complements scripts/release.sh. Run before generating the changelog or triggering the release workflow.
Quick Start
Run the validation script to check all plugins:
scripts/check_release_readiness.py --all
Check a specific plugin:
scripts/check_release_readiness.py --plugin core
Release Workflow Integration
/plugin-release-checker ← THIS: validates plugin content quality
↓ (all checks pass)
/changelog ← generates CHANGELOG entry
↓
./scripts/release.sh X.Y.Z ← handles git tag + GitHub Release
