Do I need to restart Claude Code after changing settings?

Yes, because lifecycle hooks are loaded at the start of a session, you must restart Claude Code for new configuration changes to take effect.

Where are these plugin settings files stored?

Settings are stored in the .claude/ directory within your project root, using the .local.md suffix to differentiate them from shared documentation.

How do I parse these settings in my own scripts?

This skill provides specific Bash patterns using sed and grep to extract structured YAML data and Markdown content for use in automation scripts.

Can agents programmatically update their own state?

Yes, Claude Code commands can be configured to write or append to these files, allowing agents to track progress or update their internal settings.

Should settings files be committed to version control?

No. These files are intended for local user configuration and should be added to your .gitignore to prevent environment-specific settings from being shared.

开发者工具

Standardizes per-project plugin settings and agent states using YAML frontmatter and local markdown files.

关于

The Configured Agent skill provides a robust pattern for managing local, project-specific configuration for Claude Code plugins. By utilizing the .claude/plugin-name.local.md file structure, it enables developers to store structured YAML metadata and rich markdown context that can be dynamically read by hooks, commands, and agents. This approach facilitates flexible plugin behavior, multi-agent coordination, and persistent state management without polluting the global environment or committing sensitive local settings to version control.

主要功能

State management capabilities for multi-agent swarms and task tracking
Standardized .claude/*.local.md file pattern for project-specific configs
Pre-built Bash patterns for parsing settings within lifecycle hooks
Security-focused design with built-in patterns for local-only configuration
89 GitHub stars
Dual-format support utilizing YAML frontmatter for data and Markdown for prompts

使用场景

Managing agent session state and task handoffs in multi-agent workflows
Configuring plugin-specific validation levels or toggleable hooks per project
Storing project-specific context and instructions that don't belong in source code
