SKILL.md
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.
Use case: Enable/disable hooks without editing hooks.json (requires restart).
Focus on keeping settings simple and providing good defaults when settings file doesn't exist.
