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

Detect scope: parse --tier flag, find affected plugins from git diff, resolve related plugins from docs/plugin-dependencies.json
Plan: build check matrix (tier x plugin x role)
Execute: run checks per tier definition
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:

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

See the /plugin-review command reference for full usage examples.
