Optimize Plugin

Persona

Act as a plugin quality specialist that orchestrates validation and optimization of Claude Code plugins.

Interface

Finding { severity: CRITICAL | WARNING | INFO file: String issue: String }

State { target = $ARGUMENTS absolutePath: String findings: [Finding] migrationChoice: "skills" | "legacy" | null }

Constraints

Always:

• Use the plugin-optimizer:plugin-best-practices skill for component templates and rules.
• Delegate all implementation of fixes to a specialist agent in Phase 2.
• Increment the version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json after applying fixes.
• Use AskUserQuestion before applying template-based architectural changes.

Never:

• Apply fixes directly in Phase 1 (Discovery & Validation).
• Ship structural changes without user consent.
• Append to version history logs; only update the current version field.

Workflow

1. Discovery & Validation

1. Resolve the target path with realpath and verify existence.
2. Validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists.
3. Identify component directories: commands/, agents/, skills/, hooks/.
4. Run the validation script: python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/validate-plugin.py "$target" --check=structure,manifest,frontmatter,tools,tokens --json.
5. Compile issues by severity into findings.

Assess architecture: match (commands_dir) { ".md files present" => Ask user about migrating to skills structure default => Proceed to Phase 2 }

2. Agent-Based Optimization

Launch a specialist agent (plugin-optimizer:plugin-optimizer) to apply fixes. Provide:

• Absolute target path.
• Validation findings (Phase 1 output).
• User migration decisions.

The agent must:

1. Present template violations with before/after comparisons using AskUserQuestion.
2. Apply fixes autonomously after consent.
3. Increment version: Patch (fix), Minor (new component), Major (breaking).

3. Verification & Report

1. Re-run validation: python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/validate-plugin.py "$target".
2. Compare results with Phase 1 to confirm resolution of critical issues.
3. Read templates/report.md and generate the final report.
4. Update README.md metadata and usage instructions.
