Need help deploying dev:validate?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/raphaelchristi-dev-validate
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.
Get the weekly diff
The weekly diff: one email a week with new agent tools, notable updates and grade changes, plus security alerts for tools you follow. Double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe.

# /dev:validate
Check plugin integrity: skill/agent frontmatter, cross-references, Python tool syntax, version sync, hook script executability.
## Checks
### 1. Version Sync
```bash
PKG_V=$(python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('package.json'))['version'])")
PLUGIN_V=$(python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('.claude-plugin/plugin.json'))['version'])")
if [ "$PKG_V" = "$PLUGIN_V" ]; then
echo "OK: versions match ($PKG_V)"
else
echo "FAIL: package.json=$PKG_V, plugin.json=$PLUGIN_V"
fi
```
### 2. Skill Frontmatter
For each `skills/*/SKILL.md`:
- Must have `name:` in frontmatter
- Must have `description:` in frontmatter
- Must have `allowed-tools:` in frontmatter
```bash
for f in skills/*/SKILL.md; do
NAME=$(grep -m1 "^name:" "$f" | cut -d: -f2- | xargs)
DESC=$(grep -m1 "^description:" "$f")
TOOLS=$(grep -m1 "^allowed-tools:" "$f")
if [ -z "$NAME" ] || [ -z "$DESC" ] || [ -z "$TOOLS" ]; then
echo "FAIL: $f missing frontmatter fields"
else
echo "OK: $f ($NAME)"
fi
done
```
### 3. Agent Frontmatter
For each `agents/*.md`:
- Must have `name:` in frontmatter
- Must have `description:` in frontmatter
- Must have `tools:` in frontmatter
- Must have `color:` in frontmatter
```bash
for f in agents/*.md; do
NAME=$(grep -m1 "^name:" "$f" | cut -d: -f2- | xargs)
COLOR=$(grep -m1 "^color:" "$f" | cut -d: -f2- | xargs)
if [ -z "$NAME" ] || [ -z "$COLOR" ]; then
echo "FAIL: $f missing name or color"
else
echo "OK: $f ($NAME, $COLOR)"
fi
done
```
### 4. Agent Cross-References
Check that every `subagent_type:` referenced in skills exists as an agent file:
```bash
for AGENT in $(grep -roh 'subagent_type: "[^"]*"' skills/ | sed 's/subagent_type: "//;s/"//' | sort -u); do
if [ ! -f "agents/$AGENT.md" ]; then
echo "FAIL: subagent_type '$AGENT' referenced in skills but agents/$AGENT.md not found"
else
echo "OK: $AGENT agent exists"
fi
done
```
### 5. Python Tool Syntax
```bash
ERRORS=0
for f in tools/*.py; do
python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('$f').read())" 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAIL: $f has syntax errors"
ERRORS=$((ERRORS+1))
else
echo "OK: $f"
fi
done
echo "Python tools: $ERRORS errors"
```
### 6. Hook Script
```bash
if [ -f "hooks/session-start.sh" ]; then
if [ -x "hooks/session-start.sh" ]; then
echo "OK: hooks/session-start.sh is executable"
else
echo "FAIL: hooks/session-start.sh not executable"
fi
if [ -f "hooks/hooks.json" ]; then
python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('hooks/hooks.json'))" 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "OK: hooks.json valid JSON"; else echo "FAIL: hooks.json invalid"; fi
fi
else
echo "WARN: no hooks/session-start.sh"
fi
```
### 7. CLAUDE.md Accuracy
Check that tool count and agent count in CLAUDE.md match reality:
```bash
TOOL_COUNT=$(ls tools/*.py 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
AGENT_COUNT=$(ls agents/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "Tools: $TOOL_COUNT Python files"
echo "Agents: $AGENT_COUNT agent definitions"
```
