Tiers

| 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 |

Orchestration

1. Detect scope: parse --tier flag, find affected

plugins from git diff, resolve related plugins from docs/plugin-dependencies.json

1. Plan: build check matrix (tier x plugin x role)
2. Execute: run checks per tier definition
3. Report: per-plugin table, aggregate verdict

Scope Detection

Affected 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.

Module Loading

• Always: this SKILL.md (orchestration logic)
• branch tier: load modules/tier-branch.md
• pr tier: load modules/tier-branch.md then

modules/tier-pr.md

• release tier: load all tier modules plus

modules/tier-release.md

• When resolving deps: load

modules/dependency-detection.md

Verdict

| Result | Meaning | |--------|---------| | PASS | All checks green | | PASS-WITH-WARNINGS | Non-blocking issues | | FAIL | Blocking issues found |

Output Format

Plugin Review ( tier)
Affected: 
Related:   ()

Plugin          test  lint  type  reg   verdict
          PASS  PASS  PASS  PASS  PASS
...

Verdict:  (N/N plugins healthy)

PR and release tiers add scorecard sections.

Quality Gate Mode

The --quality-gate flag enables CI/CD integration with exit codes that distinguish warnings from failures:

• 0: all quality gates passed
• 1: 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.

Configuration

Place a .plugin-review.yaml file in the plugin root to customize thresholds and focus areas:

plugin_review:
  quality_gates:
    structure_min: 80
    skills_min: 75
    hooks_min: 70
    tokens_max_total: 50000
    bloat_max_percentage: 15
  focus_areas:
    - skills
    - hooks
    - tokens
  exclude_patterns:
    - "*/legacy/*"
    - "*/deprecated/*"
  severity_overrides:
    missing_description: warning
    large_file: info

See the /plugin-review command reference for full usage examples.

Exit Criteria

• [ ] The output includes a per-plugin table with columns: test, lint, type, reg, verdict, and

an aggregate PASS / PASS-WITH-WARNINGS / FAIL verdict.

• [ ] Scope detection identifies affected plugins via git diff main --name-only filtered to

plugins/*/; if git diff is unavailable, the skill falls back to all-plugin scope and states this explicitly.

• [ ] Any plugin scoring below the structure_min (default 80) or skills_min (default 75)

threshold is listed as a FAIL, not a warning.

• [ ] --quality-gate mode returns exit code 2 for blocking failures and exit code 1 for

non-blocking warnings, distinguishable by the calling CI step.
