A plugin is implemented and needs a final quality check before submission or release.

Workflow

1. Verify manifest validity:

  • .cursor-plugin/plugin.json exists
  • name is valid lowercase kebab-case
  • metadata fields are coherent (description, version, author, license)

2. Verify component discoverability:

  • Skills in skills/*/SKILL.md
  • Rules in rules/ as .mdc or markdown variants
  • Agents in agents/ markdown files
  • Commands in commands/ markdown or text files
  • Hooks in hooks/hooks.json
  • MCP config in mcp.json (or mcpServers override)

3. Verify component metadata:

  • Skills include name and description frontmatter
  • Rules include valid frontmatter and clear guidance
  • Agents and commands include name and description

4. Verify repository integration:

  • For marketplace repos, plugin entry exists in .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json
  • source resolves to plugin directory and names are unique

5. Verify documentation quality:

  • README.md states purpose, installation, and component coverage
  • optional logo path is valid and repository-hosted

  • All declared paths exist and are relative
  • No broken file references
  • No missing frontmatter on skills/rules/agents/commands
