SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Ensuring the quality and security of a plugin before release is critical but often involves manual checks for vulnerabilities, best practices, and adherence to coding standards. This skill automates comprehensive quality audits, including secret scanning, to deliver robust and secure plugins, reducing risk and improving trust.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Quality Audit: Performs a comprehensive check against best practices and coding standards, providing a holistic view of plugin health.
  • Secret Scanning: Detects hardcoded secrets and sensitive information (e.g., API keys, passwords) that could lead to security breaches.
  • Security Vulnerability Check: Identifies common security issues and provides recommendations for remediation.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a plugin to a production environment, a developer uses this skill to run a full quality audit, including scanning for any accidentally committed API keys or passwords, ensuring the plugin is secure and production-ready.

Quick Start

Use the plugin-quality skill to perform a full audit on the current plugin codebase, including "secret scanning".

Frequently Asked Questions about Plugin Quality Skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a plugin for security vulnerabilities and secrets before deployment?▼

Security scanning for plugins detects hardcoded secrets, API keys, and common vulnerabilities automatically. Run a full quality audit on your plugin codebase to identify and remediate security issues before production release, ensuring no sensitive data is accidentally committed.

What does a plugin quality audit check?▼

A plugin quality audit validates file structure, metadata via schema and frontmatter linting, documentation completeness in README files, security posture through secret detection, and functional correctness against best practices. The audit produces a scored report showing plugin health across all dimensions.

Can I automate plugin validation as part of my development workflow?▼

Yes, automated plugin validation performs comprehensive checks against coding standards, best practices, and security requirements without manual intervention. Configure the audit workflow to run on plugin packages and directories, delivering consistent quality gates before release.

What plugin file formats and metadata does the audit validate?▼

The audit validates plugin.json schema compliance, frontmatter and metadata linting, README documentation structure, and plugin package file organization. It ensures all required metadata meets OpenPlugins standards and documentation meets quality thresholds.

How does secret scanning protect plugin security?▼

Secret scanning detects accidentally committed sensitive information like API keys and passwords in plugin code. Identifying and removing these secrets before deployment prevents unauthorized access and reduces the risk of credential exposure in production environments.
