Kjell Tore Guttormsen e7691400af feat(human-friendly-style): add shared output style plugin v1.0.0 [skip-docs]
New plugin shipping a single Claude Code output style for consistent,
plain-language tone across all marketplace plugins. Auto-discovered from
the plugin's output-styles/ directory per Anthropic's documented plugin
contract.

Style instructs Claude to explain what and why (not how), hide noise
(paths, raw commands, JSON, stack traces) by default, match the user's
language, and stay honest about uncertainty. Keeps Claude Code's default
coding instructions intact via keep-coding-instructions: true.

- plugins/human-friendly-style/output-styles/human-friendly.md (style)
- plugins/human-friendly-style/.claude-plugin/plugin.json (manifest)
- plugins/human-friendly-style/{README,CLAUDE,CHANGELOG,LICENSE}
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: registered as 9th plugin
- README.md (root): added section between OKR and Shared infrastructure

[skip-docs]: doc-trippel covered (plugin README, plugin CLAUDE, root
README). Root CLAUDE.md update deferred to avoid conflict with concurrent
ultraplan-local + ms-ai-architect work touching the same Repo-struktur
block.

Human-Friendly Style

A shared Claude Code output style used across the ktg-plugin-marketplace. Gives every plugin in the marketplace a consistent, plain-language tone — so users don't have to switch mental gears when moving between plugins.

What it does

The style modifies Claude Code's system prompt with these rules:

  • Explain what and why, not how — describe the work in human terms; reserve technical detail for when the user asks
  • Hide noise by default — long paths, raw commands, JSON, stack traces, and verbose tool output are summarized rather than dumped
  • Match the user's language — Norwegian when the user writes Norwegian, English otherwise
  • Honest about uncertainty — say "I think this should work" instead of pretending to be sure
  • Minimal formatting — prose in conversation, lists and tables only when they genuinely help

It keeps Claude Code's normal coding instructions intact (keep-coding-instructions: true), so testing discipline, careful edits, and verification still apply. The style only changes how the work is communicated, not how the work is done.

Install

Add the marketplace once, then install the plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add https://git.fromaitochitta.com/open/ktg-plugin-marketplace.git

In Claude Code:

/plugin install human-friendly-style@ktg-plugin-marketplace

Activate

/config

Choose Output styleHuman-Friendly.

Output styles take effect from the next session — restart Claude Code or start a new conversation to see the change.

Use across plugins

Other plugins in this marketplace are designed to feel right with this style. To make the experience consistent, install human-friendly-style once and select it as your default — it then applies regardless of which plugin you use.

The style is optional. Every plugin works without it; this just makes the conversation feel more like dialog and less like a console dump.

What's in this plugin

A single output style file at output-styles/human-friendly.md. Nothing else — no commands, no agents, no hooks. The plugin's only job is to ship the style file in the standard plugin location so Claude Code can auto-discover it.
