Plugin Clinic — API

Paste the plugin, get a structured load-readiness review.

API tokens Open the app

Review a Claude Code plugin from your own scripts

Send a plugin as text — the .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, slash commands, subagent definitions, skills, hooks/hooks.json and its scripts, .mcp.json, any subset, each file preceded by a // file: path marker — and get back one JSON object: a load-readiness posture, the inventory of every component with its role, prioritized findings across manifest, layout, commands, agents, skills, hooks, MCP, portability, security and hygiene, each with a corrected JSON, YAML-frontmatter or bash fragment, a conversion map for personal .claude/ patterns that do not travel, quick wins, and the focus areas to work through first. Everything this app does goes through the SkillSafe App API — plain JSON over HTTPS — so you can hang a review off any pull request that touches a plugin. Wire it into whatever produces or publishes them: a pre-merge check on a plugin repo, a marketplace intake gate, or an editor command. Pick a language once and the whole page follows.

Basics

Base URL: https://api.skillsafe.ai/v1/app-api, app slug plugin-clinic. Every request sends Authorization: Bearer <token> and JSON bodies with Content-Type: application/json. Responses are wrapped in an envelope: {"data": …} on success, {"error": {"code", "message"}} on failure. The review itself is produced by the gpt-terra model. Estimates are free; runs are metered against your credit balance. There is a single run task — one bundle of plugin files in, one review out, no follow-up calls and no session state to carry.

StatusMeaning
401Missing or expired token — create a new session.
402Not enough credits — top up at skillsafe.ai/account/credits.
403The token isn't allowed to do this (e.g. a guest reviewing a very large plugin).
404Unknown job or record id.
5xxTransient platform error — retry with backoff.

Browsers enforce CORS for this API, so run these examples from a server, script or terminal — not from another website's frontend.

Step 0 — A tiny client

Every task below is a single HTTP call, so start with a short helper that adds the auth header, sends JSON and unwraps the data envelope. The later steps reuse it.

export API="https://api.skillsafe.ai/v1/app-api"
export TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"      # see step 1

# every call looks like:
#   curl -s "$API/..." -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" [-d '{json}']
# jq is used below to pull fields out of the {"data": ...} envelope
import json, requests

Step 1 — Get a token

POST /guest

A guest token lets you check balances and estimate costs for free. For metered review runs billed to your own account, use your personal token: open the token page, sign in with SkillSafe, and press Copy shell export — it puts export SKILLSAFE_TOKEN="…" on your clipboard, which every example below reads. Treat the token like a password: it can spend your credits. For fully headless scripts, POST /guest mints a guest token with no browser involved.

curl -s -X POST "$API/guest" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"slug":"plugin-clinic"}' | jq -r '.data.token'
token = api("POST", "/guest", {"slug": "plugin-clinic"})["token"]
const { token } = await api("POST", "/guest", { slug: "plugin-clinic" });
var guest struct{ Token string `json:"token"` }
err := call("POST", "/guest", map[string]string{"slug": "plugin-clinic"}, &guest)
String envelope = api("POST", "/guest", """
    {"slug":"plugin-clinic"}""");
// token is at data.token in the returned JSON
token = api("POST", "/guest", { slug: "plugin-clinic" })["token"]
$token = api("POST", "/guest", ["slug" => "plugin-clinic"])["token"];
var guest = await SkillSafe.ApiAsync(HttpMethod.Post, "/guest",
    new { slug = "plugin-clinic" });
var token = guest.GetProperty("token").GetString();

The app stores this browser's token under the localStorage key skillsafe_app_token:plugin-clinic, on the app's own origin. The token page reads and manages it for you — you never need to open developer tools.

Step 2 — Check who you are and your balance

GET /me

Returns subject_type ("user" or "guest"), subject_id and your credits balance. Check this before reviewing a large bundle.

curl -s "$API/me" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" | jq '.data'
me = api("GET", "/me")
print(me["subject_type"], me["credits"])
const me = await api("GET", "/me");
console.log(me.subject_type, me.credits);
var me struct {
	SubjectType string `json:"subject_type"`
	Credits     int64  `json:"credits"`
}
err := call("GET", "/me", nil, &me)
String envelope = api("GET", "/me", null);
// data.subject_type, data.credits
me = api("GET", "/me")
puts "#{me["subject_type"]}: #{me["credits"]} credits"
$me = api("GET", "/me");
echo "{$me['subject_type']}: {$me['credits']} credits\n";
var me = await SkillSafe.ApiAsync(HttpMethod.Get, "/me");
Console.WriteLine($"{me.GetProperty("subject_type")}: {me.GetProperty("credits")} credits");

Step 3 — Estimate the cost

POST /estimate

Send exactly the input you would send to /run; the response's hold_credits is the worst-case cost. Nothing is charged and no job is created, so estimating is free — useful when you are concatenating a whole plugin directory in and want a ceiling before spending credits.

Input fieldTypeNotes
filesstring, requiredThe plugin as text: the manifest, commands, agents, skills, hooks.json, hook scripts and MCP config. One file or several concatenated, each preceded by a // file: path marker such as // file: .claude-plugin/plugin.json — the path after the marker is what the review cites. This is the model's only evidence — nothing is installed and no hook is executed. Inputs longer than 100,000 characters are clipped from the middle, with an inline // [... clipped N characters from the middle ...] marker at the cut. At least 60 characters are needed for a review.
modestringreview | convert-config | new-plugin | marketplace-prep — what you are doing. It shifts the weighting: convert-config leans on the conversion map, marketplace-prep on metadata, docs and portability.
emphasisstringgeneral | structure | hooks | commands-agents | skills | mcp-settings — the review emphasis. It governs depth, not blindness: a load-breaking finding outside the emphasis is never suppressed.
contextstring, optionalExtra context: which Claude Code version you are on, which component is not loading or firing, which files exist in the repo but are not in this paste, whether this is going on a marketplace, and any gap you have already chosen to accept. Clipped at 20,000 characters.
prescan_factsobject, optionalWhat a client-side scanner mechanically matched in the files: {"resources": [], "flags": []}. Each entry is {id, label}. Resource ids look like res:manifest/plugin.json, res:command/ship, res:agent/release-manager, res:skill/deploy-checklists, res:hook/pretooluse, res:mcp/deploy-api or res:script/guard.sh; flag ids are <family>:<name>manifest-location:plugin.json, manifest-fields:name-format, hooks-format:wrapper, hooks-format:prompt-posttooluse, hardcoded-path:hooks/hooks.json-..., agent-frontmatter:examples-release-manager, command-hygiene:hint-ship, skill-style:person-deploy-checklists, mcp-config:..., script-hygiene:sete-guard.sh, missing-file:..., secrets:.... Every flag id you send comes back in coverage_check. The web UI fills this from its own scan; API callers may omit the field or send the two empty arrays.
retry_notestring, optionalOnly set by the app's automatic reformat retry when a first reply was not valid JSON. Leave it out.

prescan_facts.flags is how you make the review answer for things you already know about. Send {"resources": [{"id": "res:manifest/plugin.json", "label": "Manifest/plugin.json"}], "flags": [{"id": "hooks-format:wrapper", "label": "hooks.json uses the settings.json format"}]} and every flag id comes back in coverage_check — addressed by a finding, or set aside with the reason. Nothing you flag is silently dropped, which makes it the field to assert on in a CI check.

Step 4 — Run the review and wait for the result

POST /run
GET /jobs/{job_id}

/run takes the same input as /estimate, places a credit hold and returns a job_id. Poll /jobs/{job_id} every 1–2 seconds until status is succeeded or failed (a run typically takes 30–90 s, since every finding carries a corrected fragment). Always send an Idempotency-Key header so a network retry can't start a second, double-charged run. The review is in output — usually nested as output.output, and as a JSON string, so parse defensively. The samples below print the posture, the inventory, the prioritized findings, the conversion map and the focus areas, then save the whole object to review.json.

JOB_ID=$(curl -s -X POST "$API/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: pc-$(date +%s)" \

The model is asked for one JSON object and nothing else, but a stray code fence or preamble is always possible. Strip a leading ```json fence, take the text between the first { and the last }, and only then parse — that is what the app does before it falls back to a retry_note reformat run.

The review object — output schema

One JSON object, always the same shape. Every array is present, and the review is grounded in the pasted files alone: findings cite only manifests, commands, agents, skills, hooks, servers and scripts that actually appear in files, and something that is simply absent (no description on a command, no <example> blocks on an agent, no set -euo pipefail in a hook script) is reported against the closest real component. Where the paste is silent on something that changes the verdict you get an entry in assumptions and, if it would change the ranking, in open_questions. Expect five to fifteen findings on a typical plugin — a well-built one may honestly yield two or three, and findings is never empty.

FieldTypeMeaning
review_namestringA short title naming the plugin reviewed, taken from the manifest's own name — e.g. deploy-buddy plugin review.
posturestringinstall-ready | polish-recommended | load-breaking. See the table below.
verdictstringOne sentence: the single most important thing to change, or why the plugin is ready.
exec_summarystringTwo to four short paragraphs, separated by blank lines: what the plugin is, what state it is in, what is good, what must change first.
assumptionsstring[]Explicit assumptions filling gaps the paste left open (a referenced script that was not pasted, a Claude Code version). Read these first — a wrong assumption invalidates the findings built on it.
open_questionsstring[]What to ask the author before trusting the review fully.
inventoryarray{kind, name, scope, role} — every component the review parsed out of the paste and the part it plays. kind is one of manifest, command, agent, skill, hook, mcp-server, script, settings or hookify-rule; scope is the file (or file:line) it lives in.
findingsarrayThe prioritized findings table — ids PC-001, PC-002, … in sequence, at least one entry. Columns are listed below.
conversion_maparray{pattern, note, replacement} — every project- or user-level pattern in the paste that must change to become a distributable plugin: a settings.json hook block that needs the hooks.json wrapper, a user-level command markdown file that belongs in commands/, a home path that must become ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, a literal secret that must become a ${VAR} expansion. Populated in full when mode is convert-config; in other modes it holds only the patterns that genuinely appear, and is an empty array for a plugin that was born a plugin.
coverage_checkarray{id, addressed, note} — one entry per prescan_facts.flags id you sent, each appearing exactly once. See the semantics below.
quick_winsstring[]Changes under five minutes each with outsized payoff. May be empty when nothing here is a one-liner.
focus_areasarray{area, why, finding_ids} — what to work through first, one sentence tied to the review, and the finding ids that motivate it. Every id in finding_ids exists in findings.
summarystringTwo or three sentences a busy author reads instead of the whole review.

The three posture values:

postureWhat it means
install-readyYou would install it as written: the manifest is where Claude Code looks for it, hooks use the wrapper format, agent and skill frontmatter parses and triggers, every intra-plugin path goes through ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. Findings still exist, but they are genuine next improvements — a missing argument-hint, better trigger phrases, a timeout worth adding — not blockers. Well-built plugins land here rather than having severity manufactured for them.
polish-recommendedEverything loads, but conventions, portability or safety need work — a broad Bash(*) scope, a skill body far over the length guidance, an undocumented required environment variable, a hook script that does not validate its stdin.
load-breakingAt least one component will fail to load or fire at all: a manifest outside .claude-plugin/ or one that does not parse, a hooks.json in the settings.json format, agent frontmatter that will not parse, a type: "prompt" hook on an event that does not support one, an MCP server pointing at a path that cannot exist on the installing machine.

Each entry in findings:

ColumnMeaning
idSequential PC-001, PC-002, … — the stable handle referenced from focus_areas[].finding_ids.
categorymanifest | layout | commands | agents | skills | hooks | mcp | portability | security | hygiene. Weighted by the emphasis you sent, but never restricted to it.
severitylow | medium | high — how bad it is when it bites.
likelihoodlow | medium | high — how likely it is to bite.
prioritycritical | high | medium | low — severity by likelihood. critical is reserved for something that stops the plugin loading for everyone, ships a secret to every installer, or breaks on every machine but the author's, so sort on this field and work top-down. This is also the field to gate a pipeline on.
resourceThe file or component the finding names — .claude-plugin/plugin.json, hooks/hooks.json, agents/release-manager.md, commands/ship.md — always something that appears in files.
problemWhat is wrong, in this plugin specifically, citing the paste.
impactWhat Claude Code actually does because of it — fails to load, never triggers, breaks on another machine, refuses the bash call.
fixThe concrete change to make — not "fix the manifest".
snippetA corrected fragment you can paste: valid JSON for a manifest or hooks config, valid YAML frontmatter plus markdown for a command, agent or skill, valid bash for a script — the corrected portion with enough surrounding context to place it, not the whole file. Empty string when a snippet would add nothing. Secret values are never echoed — a placeholder appears instead.

coverage_check semantics:

CaseWhat you get
Every flag id you sentEach prescan_facts.flags id appears in coverage_check exactly once. Nothing you flagged is silently dropped, which makes this the field to assert on in a CI check. Ids in prescan_facts.resources are not reconciled here — they shape the inventory instead.
addressed: trueThe flag is covered by the review; note names the finding id that covers it.
addressed: falseThe flag was deliberately set aside; note gives the reason — a check that fired but is not a real problem here (a hardcoded path inside a comment, a first-person line in an agent body that is a quoted example).
Nothing sentOmit prescan_facts, or send the two empty arrays, and coverage_check comes back empty. The rest of the review is unaffected.

A small, realistic result for the snippet above, trimmed for length:

This is AI-generated review of pasted text, not a sign-off: it sees only the files you sent, never a real installation or a real session. Check assumptions and open_questions before you act on the rankings, and remember hooks load at session start — restart Claude Code before judging a hooks change. Keep a human reviewer in the loop.

Step 5 — Stream the review as it is written

POST /run-stream

/run-stream takes exactly the same body as /run but answers with server-sent events, so you can show progress instead of a spinner — useful here because a full findings table with corrected code makes for a long reply. This app's own progress panel is this endpoint. Events are separated by a blank line; each has an event: line and a data: line carrying JSON.

EventPayloadMeaning
job{job_id, status}Sent once, when the job is accepted — show "starting".
delta{text}A chunk of the reply, in order. Append it; the accumulated length is your only progress signal (the total is not known in advance). The app advances its step list by watching for the "review_name", "posture", "inventory", "findings", "conversion_map", "coverage_check" and "focus_areas" keys as they arrive.
done{job_id, status, charged_credits, output}The final, authoritative result — read the review from output.output rather than trusting concatenated deltas, and the settled price from charged_credits.
error{code, message}Replaces done when the run fails.

In a browser, the native EventSource only speaks GET, and this endpoint is a POST — read the fetch response body incrementally, as the JavaScript sample above does. On an idempotent replay the server may answer with a plain JSON envelope instead of an event stream; check the Content-Type before you start parsing frames.
