This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Plugin Settings Pattern for Claude Code Plugins ## Overview Plugins can store user-configurable settings and state in `.claude/plugin-name.local.md` files within the project directory. This pattern uses YAML frontmatter for structured configuration and markdown content for prompts or additional context. **Key characteristics:** - File location: `.claude/plugin-name.local.md` in project root - Structure: YAML frontmatter + markdown body - Purpose: Per-project plugin configuration and state - Usage: Read from hooks, commands, and agents - Lifecycle: User-managed (not in git, should be in `.gitignore`) ## File Structure ### Basic Template ```markdown --- enabled: true setting1: value1 setting2: value2 numeric_setting: 42 list_setting: ["item1", "item2"] --- # Additional Context This markdown body can contain: - Task descriptions - Additional instructions - Prompts to feed back to Claude - Documentation or notes ``` ### Example: Plugin State File **.claude/my-plugin.local.md:** ```markdown --- enabled: true strict_mode: false max_retries: 3 notification_level: info coordinator_session: team-leader --- # Plugin Configuration …

How to install
mdr add anthropics/claude-plugins-official/plugin-settings@sha256:028b955244b937ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
