SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires sed, awk, grep, jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of managing inconsistent, hard-to-track configuration settings across multiple projects by providing a standardized pattern for storing plugin-specific state and user preferences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Configuration: Uses YAML frontmatter for clean, machine-readable settings within markdown files.
  • Project-Specific State: Enables per-project plugin behavior without polluting global configuration files.
  • Use Case: A developer can define custom validation rules or agent instructions in a .claude/my-plugin.local.md file that the plugin automatically reads and applies to its execution logic.

Quick Start

Use the plugin-settings skill to create a new configuration file for your plugin in the .claude directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage per-project plugin configurations without polluting global settings?

You can manage per-project plugin configurations by storing settings as YAML frontmatter within local markdown files. This isolates project state and prevents global configuration pollution.

What is the best way to store plugin state and user preferences in markdown files?

Storing plugin state in markdown files is best achieved by embedding YAML frontmatter. This provides clean, machine-readable structured configuration with robust parsing for boolean, numeric, and string settings.

How do I parse YAML frontmatter settings with default values and validation?

To parse YAML frontmatter with default values and validation, implement parsing logic that extracts boolean, numeric, and string settings from markdown files. This ensures configurations adhere to defined validation rules.

Do I need sed, awk, grep, or jq to standardize plugin configuration parsing?

You need sed, awk, grep, and jq to standardize plugin configuration parsing. These utilities provide the text processing capabilities required to extract and manipulate YAML frontmatter from local markdown files.

Can I define custom validation rules for agents in a local markdown file?

You can define custom validation rules for agents in a local markdown file by using YAML frontmatter. The plugin automatically reads this structured configuration and applies it to its execution logic.

Why does my plugin configuration not apply when using YAML frontmatter?

Your plugin configuration may not apply if the YAML frontmatter parsing fails validation or lacks defined default values. Ensure the local markdown file correctly formats boolean, numeric, and string settings for the plugin to read.
