// Review plugin quality with tiered checks and dependency scoping. Use for PR and pre-release audits.
Analyze and improve the improvement process. Use for detecting regressions and meta-optimization.
Applies client-server architecture for web/mobile apps. Use when designing systems with centralized backend services, trust boundaries, or offline-first sync.
Applies CQRS and Event Sourcing for read/write separation and audit trails. Use when designing systems with complex domain logic or full state-change history.
Applies event-driven async messaging to decouple producers and consumers. Use when designing real-time or multi-subscriber systems needing loose coupling.
Applies Functional Core, Imperative Shell to isolate logic from side effects. Use when business logic is entangled with I/O or unit tests are slow and brittle.
Applies hexagonal architecture isolating domain from infrastructure. Use when designing systems where testability and port/adapter separation are priorities.

Tiered quality review of plugins with dependency-aware scoping.
| Tier | Trigger | Scope | Depth | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| branch | Default | Affected and related | Quick gates | ~2 min |
| pr | Before merge | Affected and related | Standard | ~5 min |
| release | Before version bump | All 17 plugins | Full | ~15 min |
--tier flag, find affected
plugins from git diff, resolve related plugins from
docs/plugin-dependencies.jsonAffected plugins: git diff main --name-only filtered to
plugins/*/.
Related plugins: load docs/plugin-dependencies.json,
look up each affected plugin's reverse index to find
dependents. Mark as "related" (lighter checks).
If --tier release or no git diff available, scope to
all plugins.

PR and release tiers add scorecard sections.
The --quality-gate flag enables CI/CD integration with
exit codes that distinguish warnings from failures:
0: all quality gates passed1: warnings present but gates passed (non-blocking)2: quality gate failures (blocking)3: critical issues found (blocking)Use --fail-on warning to treat warnings as blocking.
