Skill, Agent, and Plugin Review Patterns

Read Review principles before applying these checks; it defines authority, applicability, evidence, and blocking criteria.

Establish the Consumer

Identify whether the artifact targets a portable skill package, a host-specific skill, a project/user agent, a plugin agent, or a plugin manifest. Read its declared destinations and the target's active validator configuration. Do not apply one artifact type's frontmatter or discovery rules to another.

When available, load the matching policy reference: /plugin-creator:agentskills for the portable format, /plugin-creator:claude-skills-overview-2026 for Claude skills, /plugin-creator:claude-subagent-reference for Claude agents, or /plugin-creator:claude-plugins-reference-2026 for plugin manifests. These references own the destination-specific field rules. If unavailable, use the target consumer's official schema or configured validator and the checks below; report any unresolved capability as unvalidated.
