How do I store local plugin configuration in markdown files with YAML frontmatter?▼

Store local plugin configuration in markdown files with YAML frontmatter by creating .claude/plugin-name.local.md files. This pattern uses bash scripting to parse and validate structured metadata while keeping user-specific state out of git commits.

What is the best way to parse YAML frontmatter in bash for local config files?▼

Parsing YAML frontmatter in bash for local config files involves extracting structured metadata from markdown headers. This skill provides bash-based utilities to check file structure, validate fields, and read body text safely.

Can I update plugin state files atomically to avoid corruption during writes?▼

Updating plugin state files atomically prevents corruption during writes. The skill applies atomic file update patterns to safely toggle plugin behavior and store agent task state in local markdown configurations.

Does this approach work for per-project configuration without committing to git?▼

This approach works for per-project configuration by using .local.md file naming conventions. Local settings store project-specific configuration for hooks and commands without committing user-specific state to the git repository.
