16
Follow these steps **in order**. You may delegate individual steps to subordinate agents.
17
18
### 1. Clone to Sandbox
19
+
20
Clone the target repository to a temporary directory **outside** `/a0` using a unique name
21
(e.g. `/tmp/plugin-scan-$(date +%s)`). This isolates the untrusted code from the framework.
22
23
### 2. Load Plugin Knowledge
24
+
25
Use the knowledge tool to load the skill `a0-create-plugin`. This gives you the expected plugin
26
structure conventions (plugin.yaml schema, directory layout, extension points, etc.).
27
28
### 3. Read plugin.yaml
29
+
30
Read the plugin's `plugin.yaml` (runtime manifest). Note its declared purpose, title, description,
31
requested settings_sections, per_project_config, per_agent_config, and always_enabled flags.
32
33
### 4. Map File Structure
34
+
35
List all files and directories. Compare the actual structure against the declared purpose —
36
for example, a "UI theme" plugin should not contain backend API handlers or tool definitions
37
that access secrets. Flag any structural anomalies.
38
39
### 5. Security Checks
40
+
41
Perform **ONLY** the following selected checks on ALL code files in the repository.
42
Do NOT perform any checks not in this list. Do NOT add extra checks or categories.
43
44
{{SELECTED_CHECKS}}
45
40
-For each check, examine every relevant file. Be thorough — do not skip files or sample.
46
+#### Per-Check Protocol (mandatory for EACH check)
47
+
48
+For each check in the list above, you MUST follow this exact internal sequence:
49
+
50
+1. Internally note which check you are performing
51
+2. Examine every file and form a one-line verdict per file
52
+3. Determine the rating ({{RATING_ICONS}}) based on the criteria below
53
+4. Only then proceed to the next check.
54
+
55
+This protocol is your **internal working process** — do NOT include these intermediate steps
56
+in the final report. The report must contain ONLY the structure defined in Output Format.
57
58
#### Check Details (only for the selected checks above)
59
60
{{CHECK_DETAILS}}
61
62
### 5.5 Self-Verification (mandatory before writing the report)
63
+
64
Before producing any output, verify each item below. If ANY is false, go back and fix it:
65
+
66
- ✅ Repository was cloned and files exist on disk
67
- ✅ `plugin.yaml` was read and its title/description/version are noted
68
- ✅ Every file in the repository was examined (not sampled)
69
- ✅ Each selected check has at least one concrete finding with file path and rationale
70
- ✅ No check was skipped or summarized without evidence
71
+- ✅ The Per-Check Protocol was followed for every check (header → file list → result line)
72
+- ✅ Cleanup was executed and verified — the cloned directory no longer exists
73
74
### 6. Cleanup
55
-**IMPORTANT**: Remove the entire cloned directory. Run: `rm -rf /tmp/plugin-scan-*`
56
-Then verify with `ls /tmp/plugin-scan-*` that nothing remains. Do not skip this step.
75
+
76
+**MANDATORY — execute this yourself, do NOT leave it as a note for the user.**
77
+Run: `rm -rf /tmp/plugin-scan-*`
78
+Then verify: `ls /tmp/plugin-scan-* 2>&1` — confirm the directory no longer exists.
79
+If it still exists, run the command again. Only proceed to write the report after cleanup succeeds.
80
81
## Output Format
82
83
> **STRICT**: Your entire response must follow this EXACT structure. No preamble, no extra sections.
84
> The Results Table must contain EXACTLY the checks from Section 5 — no more, no fewer.
62
-> Use the classification criteria (🟢/🟡/🔴) defined in each Check Detail above. Apply them literally.
