# Plugin Settings

Make what you build adjustable, project by project

## What this does

You have built a small add-on and different projects need it to behave differently. This shows you where those choices belong: one settings file per project, part plain settings, part written notes. Reach for it when you are working out how a plugin should store its settings, or when you need to read what a plugin has already saved.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Store a plugin's settings for just this project
- Make a plugin's behavior configurable
- Read a plugin's saved settings from its state file

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Plugin Settings

This documents a convention for keeping a plugin's configuration with the project that uses it: one file, named after the plugin, sitting in the project's .claude folder. The file holds YAML frontmatter for the settings themselves, with markdown content underneath for anything else worth writing down.

Use it when you want a plugin's behavior to be configurable, when you need somewhere concrete to store plugin settings, or when you meet one of those plugin state files and want to know how to read it. It answers the practical questions: where the settings file goes, what belongs inside it, and how to get the values back out.

## Questions

### Is Plugin Settings safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Plugin Settings and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit cc898dc3692f, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/plugin-settings.

### How do I install Plugin Settings?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/plugin-settings on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/cc898dc3692fb583f36ab327942aad20b7d3dbd0/plugins/plugin-dev/skills/plugin-settings. Install from that link, not the branch.
