Plugin Suite Auditor
Meta-level audit skill that analyzes any plugin suite using specialized subagents to identify usability improvements, coverage gaps, duplication, and workflow optimizations.
Purpose
Systematically evaluate a plugin ecosystem to:
-
Identify usability improvements for existing agents/skills
-
Recommend new agents that fill workflow gaps
-
Find duplication across agents that can be consolidated
-
Suggest workflow optimizations and integration points
-
Generate actionable improvement roadmaps
Audit Methodology
This skill orchestrates four specialized analysis passes using subagents, then synthesizes findings into a prioritized report.
Phase 1: Usability Analysis
Goal: Evaluate each agent/skill for user experience quality.
Usability Criteria
Criterion Question Weight
Discoverability Can users find the right agent easily? 20%
Clarity Are instructions clear and unambiguous? 20%
Completeness Does the agent deliver on its promise? 20%
Flexibility Can it handle edge cases and variations? 15%
Integration Does it work well with other agents? 15%
Output Quality Are outputs immediately usable? 10%
Usability Red Flags
-
Vague or missing description triggers
-
No example requests provided
-
Missing collaboration/integration guidance
-
Incomplete output format definitions
-
No behavioral traits defined
-
Unclear scope boundaries
Subagent Analysis Prompt
Analyze [agent-name] for usability issues:
- Read the agent definition thoroughly
- Evaluate against these criteria:
- Discoverability: Clear description with good trigger words?
- Clarity: Unambiguous instructions?
- Completeness: Covers expected use cases?
- Flexibility: Handles variations?
- Integration: Connects to other agents?
- Output Quality: Well-defined formats?
- Score each criterion 1-5
- Identify specific improvement opportunities
- Suggest concrete fixes
Output format:
Usability Analysis: [Agent Name]
Overall Score: X/30 Critical Issues: [list] Improvements: [list with specific recommendations]
Phase 2: Gap Analysis
Goal: Identify missing agents that would strengthen the suite.
Coverage Analysis Process
-
Identify the plugin's domain (e.g., creative writing, testing, deployment)
-
Map the complete workflow for that domain
-
Check which stages have agent coverage
-
Identify stages without dedicated support
-
Evaluate gap significance
Gap Identification Criteria
A gap is worth filling if:
-
Frequency: Users commonly need this capability
-
Complexity: Task is complex enough to benefit from specialization
-
Distinctness: Not adequately covered by existing agents
-
Integration: Would enhance existing agent workflows
Subagent Analysis Prompt
Analyze [plugin-name] for coverage gaps:
- Determine the plugin's domain and purpose
- Map the complete workflow for this domain
- Identify which workflow stages have agent coverage
- Find stages without dedicated support
- Evaluate gap significance:
- How often do users need this?
- Is it complex enough for an agent?
- Could existing agents cover it with modifications?
- Recommend new agents with specifications
Output format:
Gap Analysis: [Plugin Name]
Domain: [what this plugin covers] Coverage Score: X% of workflow covered Workflow Map: [stages with coverage indicators] Critical Gaps: [list with justification] Recommended New Agents: [name, purpose, why needed]
Phase 3: Duplication Analysis
Goal: Find overlapping functionality that can be consolidated.
Duplication Types
Type Description Action
Full Overlap Two agents do same thing Merge or deprecate one
Partial Overlap Significant shared functionality Extract common patterns
Conceptual Overlap Similar approaches in different contexts Document boundaries
Output Overlap Produce similar artifacts Standardize formats
Detection Patterns
Scan for:
-
Similar section headings across agents
-
Duplicate checklists or frameworks
-
Overlapping example requests
-
Redundant output templates
-
Repeated behavioral traits
-
Shared workflows
Subagent Analysis Prompt
Analyze [plugin-name] for duplication:
- Read all agent definitions in the plugin
- Create a feature matrix showing what each agent provides
- Identify overlapping functionality:
- Exact duplicates
- Similar but not identical features
- Overlapping scopes
- Recommend consolidation strategies:
- Merge agents
- Extract shared components
- Clarify boundaries
- Estimate effort to consolidate
Output format:
Duplication Analysis: [Plugin Name]
Redundancy Level: [Low/Medium/High] Full Overlaps: [specific examples with quotes] Partial Overlaps: [specific examples] Consolidation Recommendations: [actions with rationale]
Phase 4: Workflow Optimization
Goal: Improve how agents work together.
Integration Analysis
Evaluate:
-
Are handoff points clearly defined?
-
Do agents reference each other appropriately?
-
Is there a natural workflow sequence?
-
Can outputs of one agent feed directly into another?
-
Are there workflow bottlenecks?
Workflow Pattern Template
WORKFLOW CHAINS
Chain Name: agent-1 → agent-2 → agent-3
Evaluation:
- Handoffs clear: [Yes/No]
- Output compatibility: [Yes/No]
- Documentation: [Yes/No]
Optimization Opportunities
-
Missing chain links
-
Unclear transition points
-
Redundant intermediate steps
-
Opportunity for parallel processing
-
Automation potential
Subagent Analysis Prompt
Analyze [plugin-name] agent workflow integration:
- Map typical user journeys through the plugin
- Identify how agents currently reference each other
- Find workflow friction points:
- Unclear handoffs
- Missing integration
- Redundant steps
- Recommend optimizations:
- New integration points
- Workflow templates
- Automation opportunities
Output format:
Workflow Analysis: [Plugin Name]
Integration Score: X/10 Workflow Chains Identified: [list] Friction Points: [specific issues] Optimization Recommendations: [actions]
Audit Execution Protocol
Step 1: Load Plugin Context
- Read plugin.json for metadata and component list
- Glob all agents: [plugin-path]/agents/*.md
- Glob all skills: [plugin-path]/skills/*/SKILL.md
- Glob all commands: [plugin-path]/commands/*.md
- Build inventory of all components
Step 2: Launch Subagent Analyses
Launch four analysis passes using the Task tool:
-
Usability Analyzer - Reviews each agent for UX quality
-
Gap Analyzer - Maps workflow coverage
-
Duplication Detector - Finds redundancies
-
Workflow Optimizer - Evaluates integration
Step 3: Synthesize Findings
Combine analyses into unified audit report:
Plugin Suite Audit Report: [Plugin Name]
Date: [Date] Version Audited: [version from plugin.json] Components Analyzed: X agents, Y skills, Z commands
