Operation: Detect Target Type

Automatically detect whether the validation target is a marketplace or plugin based on file structure.

Parameters from $ARGUMENTS

• path: Path to the target directory (required)
  • Format: path:/path/to/target or path:. for current directory
  • Default: . (current directory)

Detection Logic

Execute the target detection algorithm:

# Run the target detector script
bash .scripts/target-detector.sh "$TARGET_PATH"

The detection script will:

1. Check for .claude-plugin/marketplace.json → Marketplace
2. Check for plugin.json → Plugin
3. Check for both → Multi-target
4. Check for neither → Unknown

Workflow

1. Extract Path Parameter

   Parse $ARGUMENTS for path parameter
   IF path not provided:
     SET path="."
   

2. Execute Detection

   RUN .scripts/target-detector.sh "$path"
   CAPTURE output and exit code
   

3. Report Results

   Output format:
   {
     "target_type": "marketplace|plugin|multi-target|unknown",
     "path": "/absolute/path/to/target",
     "files_found": ["marketplace.json", "plugin.json"],
     "confidence": "high|medium|low"
   }
   

Examples

Detect current directory:

/validation-orchestrator detect path:.

Detect specific path:

/validation-orchestrator detect path:/path/to/plugin

Error Handling

• Path does not exist: Report error with clear message
• No .claude-plugin directory: Suggest target may not be a plugin/marketplace
• Ambiguous structure: List all potential targets found
• Permission denied: Report access issue with remediation steps

Output Format

Return a structured detection report with:

• Target type identified
• Confidence level
• Files found
• Recommended validation command
• Next steps
