feat(commands): add /plugin-audit — 8-phase validation pipeline

[alirezarezvani]

Summary

• Adds /plugin-audit slash command — comprehensive audit pipeline for any skill, plugin, agent, or command
• 8 phases: discovery → structure (skill_validator.py) → quality (quality_scorer.py) → scripts (script_tester.py) → security (skill_security_auditor.py) → marketplace compliance → ecosystem integration → domain code review
• Auto-fixes non-critical issues, only prompts user for breaking changes (new deps, security findings)
• Registered in both commands/plugin-audit.md (distributable) and .claude/commands/plugin-audit.md (local invocation)
• Updates product-team counts: 12→14 skills, 13→16 tools, 7→8 commands
• Adds /code-to-prd and /plugin-audit to mkdocs.yml nav
• Regenerated docs: 248 pages (19 commands)

Test plan

• /plugin-audit appears in Claude Code skill list
• commands/plugin-audit.md has valid YAML frontmatter
• .claude/commands/plugin-audit.md has valid frontmatter
• mkdocs build passes (0 new warnings)
• All JSON files valid (marketplace.json, plugin.json)
• Product-team counts consistent across CLAUDE.md, plugin.json, marketplace.json
• Run /plugin-audit product-team/code-to-prd end-to-end

PR Review: feat(commands): add /plugin-audit — 8-phase validation pipeline

Overall, this is a well-structured addition. The /plugin-audit command is comprehensive and the design is sound. A few issues to address:

---

🐛 Count Inconsistency

The product-team skill count is inconsistent across files:

File	Count
docs/skills/product-team/index.md	15 skills
marketplace.json	14 product skills
product-team/.claude-plugin/plugin.json	14 production-ready product skills
product-team/CLAUDE.md	14 production-ready product management skills

The docs page shows 15 while all other metadata shows 14. One of these is wrong — please reconcile before merging.

---

⚠️ Hardcoded Script Paths in Phase Instructions

Both commands/plugin-audit.md and .claude/commands/plugin-audit.md hardcode script paths like:

python3 engineering/skill-tester/scripts/skill_validator.py
python3 engineering/skill-security-auditor/scripts/skill_security_auditor.py

These paths assume the command is always run from the repo root. If a user installs just the commands/plugin-audit.md skill into their own project (which is the distributable use case), these paths will fail. Consider documenting this limitation explicitly, or adding a prerequisite check in Phase 1 that verifies these scripts exist before proceeding.

---

⚠️ Auto-fix Behavior in Phase 2 May Be Destructive

Phase 2 says:

Auto-fix missing frontmatter fields, missing section headings, missing directories.

Auto-creating directories and adding stub headings in SKILL.md without user confirmation is risky — it modifies the skill being audited. This should either:

1. Require user confirmation before modifying files (consistent with how Phase 5 treats security findings), or
2. Output a diff of proposed fixes for user approval

---

✅ Good Design Decisions

• Phase 5 correctly prevents auto-fixing security issues — reporting with file + line + pattern instead of silently patching. This is the right call.
• Verdict thresholds are explicit — clear pass/fail gates (structure ≥75, quality ≥60, zero security criticals) prevent ambiguous results.
• Two registration files (.claude/commands/ + commands/) cover both local invocation and distributable use. Good pattern.
• Attribution section in the code-to-prd SKILL.md is a nice touch.

---

Minor Nits

• The end-to-end test (/plugin-audit product-team/code-to-prd) is unchecked in the test plan. This is the most important validation — it should run before merge, not after.
• Phase 7a references scripts/sync-codex-skills.py and scripts/sync-gemini-skills.py — these should be verified to exist in the repo, otherwise Phase 7 will silently fail.

---

Verdict: Fix the skill count inconsistency and the auto-fix confirmation gap before merging. The core design is solid.

PR Review: feat(commands): add /plugin-audit

Overall: PASS WITH BLOCKERS — one security regression and one count inconsistency need fixing before merge.

BLOCKERS

1. Security regression — tokens? removed from PROMPT-EXFIL regex (skill_security_auditor.py line 450)

The diff removes tokens? from a CRITICAL severity PROMPT-EXFIL regex pattern. This means instructions like "read the tokens file", "access auth tokens", or "get tokens from .aws" will no longer be flagged by the security auditor.

There is no explanation in the PR description or commit message for why this was removed. If it was done to prevent false positives in the code-to-prd skill (which discusses auth token detection in analyzed codebases), the correct fix is a context-aware allowlist or scoped suppression — not removing the term from a CRITICAL severity pattern. Please restore tokens? and address the root cause separately.

2. Count inconsistency — docs says 15 skills, all other files say 14

• product-team/CLAUDE.md: 14
• product-team/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: 14
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: 14
• docs/skills/product-team/index.md: 15 (off by one)

The docs index was bumped 14 to 15 but all other sources were updated to 14. Please align all sources to the same number.

WARNINGS

3. research-summarizer referenced but no docs page in this PR

CLAUDE.md and plugin.json descriptions both list research-summarizer as one of the 14 skills, but no docs/skills/product-team/research-summarizer.md is present. If it was added in a prior PR please confirm. If not, the docs entry is missing.

4. Phase 7a references unverified sync scripts

Both command files reference scripts/sync-codex-skills.py and scripts/sync-gemini-skills.py. If these scripts are absent, Phase 7a will silently fail or error. Consider adding a file-existence guard or documenting that Phase 7a is skipped when the scripts are absent.

5. One test plan item unchecked

The test plan has an unchecked item: Run /plugin-audit product-team/code-to-prd end-to-end. This is the most critical validation for the PR. Please run it before merge.

LOOKS GOOD

• .claude-plugin, .codex, .gemini added to filesystem scanner allowlist — correct fix for legitimate project directories that should not trigger hidden-file warnings
• commands/plugin-audit.md frontmatter — name and description fields present per distributable command convention
• .claude/commands/plugin-audit.md — correctly uses description-only frontmatter (filename equals command name for local commands)
• mkdocs.yml nav entries — both /code-to-prd and /plugin-audit added in correct alphabetical order
• 8-phase pipeline design — well-structured with clear gate rules (structure 75+, quality 60+, zero CRITICAL/HIGH security findings), appropriate auto-fix vs user-prompt boundaries, and a clean final report format
• Attribution in commands/plugin-audit.md — proper credit to the original code-to-prd concept and PR 368

SUMMARY

Check	Result
YAML frontmatter (commands)	PASS
plugin.json schema compliance	PASS
marketplace.json updated	PASS
Product-team counts consistent	FAIL (docs says 15, rest say 14)
Security auditor coverage	FAIL (tokens? removed without justification)
End-to-end test run	WARNING (not yet confirmed)
Sync script existence	WARNING (unverified)
