+# Check plugin archive
+
+This workflow runs some checks on the plugin archive to make sure that everything is ok (especially important if processing the source code via php-scoper or Rector).
+
+Usually it should be run after the [archive creation workflow](/docs/archive-creation.md).
+
+It executes
+- [Parallel Lint](https://github.com/php-parallel-lint/PHP-Parallel-Lint) to check the PHP syntax
+- [Plugin Check](https://github.com/WordPress/plugin-check) PHP_CodeSniffer rules, as well as optionally other WordPress sniffs.
+
+
+## Simple usage example:
+
+```yml
+name: Create and check release package
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:
+jobs:
+  create_archive:
+    uses: inpsyde/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/build-plugin-archive.yml@main
+  check_archive:
+    uses: inpsyde/reusable-workflows/.github/workflows/check-plugin-archive.yml@main
+    needs: create_archive
+    with:
+      ARTIFACT: ${{ needs.create_archive.outputs.artifact }}
+      PHP_VERSION: '7.4'
+```
+
