plugin-validator

An agent that checks Claude Code plugins, including their structure, configuration, and components. Claude Code is a coding agent that can be extended with plugins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Validating the files, settings, and parts of Claude Code plugins.
Why use it?
It helps find problems in a plugin before the plugin is used or shared.

Agent

Part of the plugin-dev plugin — 1 command, 3 agents shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/dennisliuck/claude-plugin-marketplace/plugin-validator
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/DennisLiuCk/claude-plugin-marketplace

Or install plugin-dev, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 command, 3 agents.

Per session 73 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,070 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

plugin-validator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
