nw-plugin-validator

A checking agent for Claude Code plugins, which are add-ons with their own files, commands, agents, and hooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect a plugin’s manifest and folders, confirm that its commands, agents, and hooks are registered correctly, and check compliance with the Claude Code plugin schema.
Why use it?
It catches invalid plugin structure, registration, manifest, or schema problems during the final verification of a plugin.

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.

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

nw-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 2d 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 it actually says

nw-plugin-validator

Use to validate Claude Code plugin structure and schema during DISTILL/DELIVER verification when deliverable_type is plugin. Validates plugin manifest, directory layout, hook/command/agent registration, and Claude Code plugin schema compliance. No existing agent knows the plugin schema. Runs on Haiku for cost efficiency.

Changes

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.

nw-plugin-validator is an agent published in the GitHub repository nWave-ai/nWave (602 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 137 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
