Plugin Review

Tiered plugin quality review: branch (quick gates), pr (quality scoring), release (full ecosystem audit). Detects affected plugins from git diff and reviews related plugins for side effects.

Invoke `Skill(abstract:plugin-review)`, which carries the tier definitions, the scope detection, the verdict and the output format.

When To Use

Use this command when you need to:

• Assessing overall plugin/skill architecture health
• Pre-release validation of plugin quality
• Quarterly maintenance audits
• New contributor onboarding to understand plugin structure
• Identifying improvement priorities across skills/commands/hooks
• Validating plugin meets quality standards

When NOT To Use

Avoid this command if:

• Single skill analysis - use /analyze-skill
• Single hook analysis - use /analyze-hook
• Creating new skills - use /create-skill
• Token estimation only - use /estimate-tokens

Usage

# Review current plugin (default: all checks)
/plugin-review

# Review specific plugin
/plugin-review plugins/abstract

# Focus on specific aspect
/plugin-review --focus skills
/plugin-review --focus hooks
/plugin-review --focus bloat
/plugin-review --focus tokens

# Output format
/plugin-review --format summary   # High-level scores (default)
/plugin-review --format detailed  # Full findings and recommendations
/plugin-review --format json      # Machine-readable for CI

# CI/CD quality gate mode
/plugin-review --quality-gate --fail-on warning

Quality Levels

| Score | Level | Meaning | |-------|-------|---------| | 91-100 | EXCELLENT | Production-ready, best practices | | 76-90 | GOOD | Minor improvements suggested | | 51-75 | OK | Issues requiring attention | | 26-50 | POOR | Significant issues | | 0-25 | CRITICAL | Major problems blocking release |

CI/CD Integration

# GitHub Actions example
- name: Plugin Quality Gate
  run: |
    /plugin-review --quality-gate --format json --output report.json
    EXIT_CODE=$?
    if [ $EXIT_CODE -ge 2 ]; then
      echo "Quality gate failed (exit code $EXIT_CODE)"
      exit 1
    elif [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 1 ]; then
      echo "Quality gate passed with warnings"
    fi

Exit codes:

• `0`: All quality gates passed
• `1`: Warnings present but gates passed (non-blocking)
• `2`: Quality gate failures (blocking)
• `3`: Critical issues found (blocking)

Implementation

This command orchestrates multiple evaluation tools:

1. **Plugin structure validation**: `validate_plugin.py` 2. **Skills evaluation**: `skill_analyzer.py --scan-all` 3. **Token analysis**: `context_optimizer.py report` 4. **Hooks evaluation**: `Skill(abstract:hooks-eval)` (if hooks exist) 5. **Bloat detection**: Uses conserve:bloat-detector patterns 6. **Aggregate results**: Combine scores and generate report

Related Commands

• `/validate-plugin` - Structure validation only
• `/skills-eval` - Skills quality evaluation only
• `/hooks-eval` - Hooks evaluation only
• `/context-report` - Token analysis only
• `/bloat-scan` - Bloat detection only
• `/analyze-skill` - Single skill deep dive
• `/analyze-hook` - Single hook deep dive
