Verify Plugin Structure

Validate all plugins in the marketplace for correct structure and metadata.

Steps

1. Read marketplace.json at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Verify it has name, owner (with name and email), and plugins array.

2. For each plugin in the plugins array, verify:

   • source path exists as a directory
   • .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists at the source path and contains required fields: name, description, version, author
   • name in plugin.json matches the name in the marketplace entry
   • version follows semver format (e.g., 0.2.0, 1.0.0)

3. For each skill directory under plugins/<name>/skills/:

   • SKILL.md exists
   • SKILL.md has YAML frontmatter with name and description
   • description includes trigger phrases
   • If references/ directory exists, verify it contains at least one file

4. Report results:

   • List each plugin and its skills with pass/fail status
   • Summarize any issues found
   • If all checks pass, confirm the marketplace structure is valid
