What is the Plugin Settings pattern?

It is a standardized way to store per-project configuration in .claude/plugin-name.local.md files using YAML frontmatter for data and Markdown for descriptive context.

Do settings changes take effect immediately?

No, Claude Code generally needs to be restarted for hooks to recognize changes in .local.md files as hooks cannot be hot-swapped within a session.

Should I commit these settings files to Git?

No, files following the .local.md pattern should be added to your .gitignore to ensure environment-specific configurations remain local.

How can I parse these files in a bash script?

The skill provides specific sed and awk patterns to extract the YAML frontmatter block and individual fields from the markdown file.

Can AI agents interact with these settings?

Yes, agents can use standard tools to read the configuration files, parse the frontmatter, and adapt their instructions or behavior based on the defined settings.

开发者工具

Standardizes per-project plugin configuration using YAML frontmatter and Markdown within the .claude directory.

This skill implements a robust pattern for managing plugin-specific settings and state in Claude Code. By utilizing .claude/plugin-name.local.md files, developers can store structured YAML configuration alongside rich Markdown context. This approach allows plugins to adapt their behavior based on project-specific requirements, manage agent state across sessions, and provide user-configurable options that remain local to the environment. It includes comprehensive implementation patterns for reading settings from Bash hooks, commands, and AI agents, ensuring a consistent and extensible developer experience.
