SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rules and standards that prevent bloated auto-generated improvements and ensure consistent quality across plugins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Token-limits and size constraints to prevent bloated outputs.
  • Two-layer structure guidance: SKILL.md plus resources/ for on-demand content.
  • Explicit allowed-tools and trigger conditions to constrain automations.
  • Promotion of safe, auditable improvements through writing rules.

Quick Start

Apply these rules to every new or updated skill to ensure compliance before deployment.

Does Claude Code plugin validation require a specific file structure?▼

Claude Code plugin validation requires a two-layer structure consisting of a SKILL.md file plus a resources/ directory for on-demand content, ensuring explicit trigger conditions and allowed-tools are defined.

What are the best practices for writing Claude Code plugin validation rules?▼

Best practices for Claude Code plugin validation rules include setting explicit allowed-tools, defining trigger conditions, enforcing token limits under 500 tokens, and maintaining a two-layer structure for auditable improvements.

When should I apply quality gates to Claude Code skills and workflows?▼

Apply quality gates to Claude Code skills and workflows during every new or updated skill creation to ensure compliance with anti-bloat rules, token limits, and structural constraints before deployment.
