Customize Claude Code plugins for organization-specific tools, connectors, and workflows.
The material indicates an open-source, prompt-only skill for plugin customization, with no required secrets and no declared remote endpoints. Its main behavior is instructing local plugin file inspection and modification, so overall risk is low, though its implied local file operation scope warrants normal caution.
The material explicitly states that no keys or environment variables are required, and it does not request API tokens, account passwords, or other sensitive credentials, so credential exposure and misuse risk is low.
No remote endpoints or external service connections are declared; as a prompt-only skill, the material also shows no indication of sending user data to network services.
This item is marked prompt-only. Although the README includes example commands like find/grep, these are operational instructions for the host agent rather than bundled executable code or additional system privileges in the skill itself.
The documentation explicitly instructs locating and reading files under local plugin directories and modifying plugin configuration; this means its intended workflow touches local file content. That scope is consistent with its stated purpose and shows no clear overreach, but it should still be constrained to the target plugin directory.
The source is an auditable open-source GitHub repository, which is a strong positive signal; however, it has 0 stars, no declared license, and unknown maintenance status, so community validation and governance signals are limited and warrant some supply-chain caution.

Help me customize a Claude Code plugin configuration for our company's Jira, GitLab, and internal knowledge base. Provide recommended connector settings, authentication methods, permission scopes, and workflow-oriented configuration notes for the engineering team.
A tailored plugin configuration plan covering connectors, permissions, and workflow guidance.
Customize a Claude Code plugin for this team workflow: requirements are managed in Jira, code is in GitHub, and releases go through a CI/CD pipeline. Design the plugin's default behaviors, suggested common commands, and collaboration-friendly settings.
A plugin customization plan for the team workflow, including defaults and collaboration rules.
We need to use a Claude Code plugin in a restricted environment. Help me adjust the plugin configuration to limit accessible systems, apply least-privilege permissions, and provide settings recommendations that support audit and compliance requirements.
A plugin configuration plan optimized for security, access control, and compliance.
Customize a plugin for a specific organization — either by setting up a generic plugin template for the first time, or by tweaking and refining an already-configured plugin.
Finding the plugin: To find the plugin's source files, run
find mnt/.local-plugins mnt/.plugins -type d -name "*<plugin-name>*"to locate the plugin directory, then read its files to understand its structure before making changes. If you cannot find the plugin directory, the user is likely running this conversation in a remote container. Abort and let them know: "Customizing plugins is currently only available in the desktop app's Cowork mode."
After locating the plugin, check for ~~-prefixed placeholders: grep -rn '~~\w' /path/to/plugin --include='*.md' --include='*.json'
Default rule: If
~~placeholders exist, default to Generic plugin setup unless the user explicitly asks to customize a specific part of the plugin.
1. Generic plugin setup — The plugin contains ~~-prefixed placeholders. These are customization points in a template that need to be replaced with real values (e.g., ~~Jira → Asana, ~~your-team-channel → #engineering).
2. Scoped customization — No ~~ placeholders exist, and the user asked to customize a specific part of the plugin (e.g., "customize the connectors", "update the standup skill", "change the ticket tool"). Read the plugin files to find the relevant section(s) and focus only on those. Do not scan the entire plugin or present unrelated customization items.
Legacy
commands/directories: Some plugins include acommands/directory. The Cowork UI now presents these alongside skills as a single "Skills" concept, so treatcommands/*.mdfiles the same way you wouldskills/*/SKILL.mdfiles when customizing.
3. General customization — No ~~ placeholders exist, and the user wants to modify the plugin broadly. Read the plugin's files to understand its current configuration, then ask the user what they'd like to change.
Important: Never change the name of the plugin or skill being customized. Do not rename directories, files, or the plugin/skill name fields.
Nontechnical output: All user-facing output (todo list items, questions, summaries) must be written in plain, nontechnical language. Never mention
~~prefixes, placeholders, or customization points to the user. Frame everything in terms of the plugin's capabilities and the organization's tools.
For scoped customization and general customization (not generic plugin setup), check whether the user provided free-form context alongside their request (e.g., "customize the standup skill — we do async standups in #eng-updates every morning").
If the user provided context: Record it and use it to pre-fill answers in Phase 3 — skip asking questions that the user already answered here.
If the user did not provide context: Ask a single open-ended question using AskUserQuestion before proceeding. Tailor the question to what they asked to customize — e.g., "What changes do you have in mind for the brief skill?" or "What would you like to change about how this plugin works?" Keep it short and specific to their request.
Use their response (if any) as additional context throughout the remaining phases.
