Human-Friendly Style v1.0.0

Shared output style for ktg-plugin-marketplace. Single deliverable: output-styles/human-friendly.md.

Purpose

Give every plugin in the marketplace a consistent, plain-language tone. Users install this once, activate via /config, and get the same conversational style regardless of which plugin they invoke.

Components

Component Location Role
Output style output-styles/human-friendly.md The style file. Auto-discovered by Claude Code from the plugin's output-styles/ directory.
Manifest .claude-plugin/plugin.json Plugin metadata. No commands, agents, hooks, or skills — this is a style-only plugin.

How activation works

  1. User installs the plugin via /plugin install human-friendly-style@ktg-plugin-marketplace
  2. Claude Code auto-discovers the .md file under output-styles/
  3. User runs /config → selects Output styleHuman-Friendly
  4. The selection is persisted in user or project settings (outputStyle field)
  5. The style takes effect from the next session — system prompt is stable within a conversation for cache efficiency

Frontmatter contract

The style file declares three fields:

Field Value Purpose
name Human-Friendly Display name in /config picker
description One-line summary Shown next to the name in the picker
keep-coding-instructions true Preserves Claude Code's default coding instructions; the style only changes communication tone

If keep-coding-instructions is removed or set to false, Claude Code will strip its built-in software-engineering guidance — testing discipline, secure-coding rules, edit verification. We deliberately keep them on because this style ships alongside development plugins.

Maintenance notes

  • This plugin has no version coupling to other plugins. Bump independently when the style file changes.
  • Style changes are user-visible behavior. Update the description field in the frontmatter and the README in lockstep.
  • Doc-trippel rule applies (per marketplace CLAUDE.md): any feature change must update plugin README, plugin CLAUDE.md, and the root README in the same commit.
  • The style file is intentionally English-language so it works equally well for Norwegian and English users — the content of the style instructs Claude to match the user's language.

Out of scope

  • Per-plugin variants (code-focused, deep-technical, etc.) — would belong in a future v1.1 if there's real demand
  • Forcing the style on other plugins — it remains opt-in. Other plugins may reference it in their READMEs.
  • Translation of the style file itself into Norwegian — defeats the purpose of language-agnostic instruction
