How do I apply changes made to a settings file?

Because Claude Code loads hooks and settings at initialization, you typically need to exit and restart your Claude Code session for changes to take effect.

Can I use this pattern for multi-agent coordination?

Yes. The pattern includes specific templates for storing agent names, task numbers, and session IDs, enabling different agents to read and write to a shared state file.

What is the .claude/plugin-name.local.md file used for?

It is a project-specific configuration file that allows users to set preferences, toggle features, or store state for a specific Claude Code plugin without affecting other projects.

Should configuration files be committed to version control?

No. These files are intended for local environment settings and should be added to your .gitignore file to prevent sensitive or machine-specific data from being shared.

开发者工具

Implements a standardized pattern for managing per-project plugin configurations and state using YAML frontmatter and markdown.

关于

This skill provides a robust framework for creating configurable Claude Code plugins by utilizing .claude/plugin-name.local.md files. It allows developers to define structured project-specific settings using YAML frontmatter while maintaining markdown bodies for prompts and context. By standardizing how hooks, commands, and agents read state and configuration, this skill enables more flexible, environment-aware AI automation that can be easily toggled or adjusted without modifying core plugin logic.
