What problem does it solve?

This Skill detects undeclared external dependencies in Claude plugins by scanning source files for pattern-based references and guiding the creation of an extends-plugin.json manifest to prevent runtime failures and packaging oversights.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pattern-based scanning across Markdown, JSON, Python, and shell files to detect skill, agent, plugin, tool, and system command references.
• Produces a JSON array of raw matches (location, matched text, context, type) and assists grouping, filtering, and provider identification using installed_plugins and marketplace metadata.
• Interactive, batched user confirmations to decide required versus optional dependencies and to write .claude-plugin/extends-plugin.json with diffs when applicable.
• Common uses: generate extends-plugin.json from scratch, audit plugin changes after refactors, compare dependencies between plugins, and investigate missing runtime prerequisites.

Quick Start

Scan the plugin directory ./my-plugin for external dependencies and interactively build an extends-plugin.json manifest.
