Rule Details ​

This rule checks that the plugin.json file has a name property that is a non-empty string. The plugin name is the primary identifier used in the marketplace and by Claude Code when referencing the plugin. A missing or empty name prevents the plugin from being discovered, installed, or referenced correctly.

}

Plugin with empty name

}

How To Fix ​
