# Plugin Review
Tiered quality review of plugins with dependency-aware scoping.
## Table of Contents
- [Tiers](#tiers)
- [Orchestration](#orchestration)
- [Scope Detection](#scope-detection)
- [Module Loading](#module-loading)
- [Verdict](#verdict)
- [Output Format](#output-format)
- [Quality Gate Mode](#quality-gate-mode)
- [Configuration](#configuration)
## Tiers
| Tier | Trigger | Scope | Depth | Duration |
|------|---------|-------|-------|----------|
| branch | Default | Affected + related | Quick gates | ~2 min |
| pr | Before merge | Affected + 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`
2. **Plan**: build check matrix (tier x plugin x role)
3. **Execute**: run checks per tier definition
4. **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> tier)
Affected: <list>
Related: <list> (<reason>)
Plugin test lint type reg verdict
<name> PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS
...
Verdict: <PASS|PASS-WITH-WARNINGS|FAIL> (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:
```yaml
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
```
