About docs-check
docs-check is a Claude Code skill for checking plugin agents, skills, hooks, and configuration against current documentation. It combines cached documentation comparisons with local structural checks and can limit validation by component.
Key features
- 01Validate agents, skills, hooks, and configuration
- 02Fetch and cache Claude Code documentation
- 03Quick mode for structural checks only
- 04Focus checks on selected components
- 05Report issues and offer a PR
Use cases
- 01Check a plugin for breaking documentation changes
- 02Run local structural checks without fetching docs
- 03Review only hooks or configuration
- 04Find new features applicable to plugin components

Details
From the project READMEPlugin Documentation Compatibility Check
Validates plugin agents, skills, hooks, and config against the latest Claude Code documentation to catch breaking changes and discover new features.
Usage
/docs-check # Full validation (all components)
/docs-check --quick # Structural checks only (no docs fetch, no tokens)
/docs-check --focus=agents # Validate only agents
/docs-check --focus=skills # Validate only skills
/docs-check --focus=hooks # Validate only hooks
/docs-check --focus=config # Validate only plugin.json/marketplace.json
Architecture (OTP Supervision Pattern)
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ /docs-check (skill entry point) │
│ │ │
│ ├─ Step 1: bash scripts/fetch-claude-docs.sh (zero tokens) │
│ │ Always fetches all 9 doc pages (~420KB) │
│ │ │
│ └─ Step 2: delegate to orchestrator (reads from cache only) │
│ │ │
│ │ docs-validation-orchestrator (opus) │
│ │ │
│ │ SCAN → READ CACHE → SPAWN WORKERS → COMPRESS → REPORT │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ │
│ │ inventory pre-fetched 4 parallel context report │
│ │ plugin docs-cache subagents supervisor │
│ │ components (sonnet) (haiku) │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Execution
Step 1: Fetch Docs (Automatic)
Always run first. Downloads all doc pages to cache. Skips pages already cached within 24h. Zero token cost — pure curl.
# --quick mode: skip this step entirely (structural checks only)
# All other modes: always fetch
bash scripts/fetch-claude-docs.sh
Step 2: Delegate to Orchestrator
After docs are cached, delegate. The orchestrator reads from cache only and crashes if cache files are missing.
Task(subagent_type: "docs-validation-orchestrator")
Pass the user's flags (--quick, --focus) in the prompt.
What the Orchestrator Does
- Inventory — scan
plugins/elixir-phoenix/for existing components - Read cached docs — from
.claude/docs-check/docs-cache/(never fetches) - Spawn workers — one sonnet subagent per component type, in parallel
- Compress — context-supervisor (haiku) if 3+ workers
- Structural checks — fast local checks, always run
- Report & Action — write report, offer PR if issues found
Iron Laws
- Fetch ALL docs upfront — no conditional fetching, no partial downloads
- Use
scripts/fetch-claude-docs.sh— single source of truth for doc fetching - Workers get docs IN PROMPT — no runtime fetching
- Workers use sonnet — opus is wasteful for comparison tasks
- Structural checks always run — even if docs fetch fails
- Breaking changes are BLOCKERS — surface prominently
