security-guidance: respect CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for plugin state files (#1868)
Fixes #1868 — when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set to a non-default location
(e.g. ~/.config/claude for XDG compliance, or a multi-tenant install
path), the plugin still wrote state files to the hardcoded ~/.claude/
path, leaving stale state and breaking CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR's purpose.

Resolution precedence (highest first):
  1. SECURITY_WARNINGS_STATE_DIR  — plugin-specific override (existing)
  2. CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/security    — CC's config-dir env (new — #1868)
  3. ~/.claude/security            — default fallback (unchanged)

Empty-string env vars (e.g. CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR= in a misconfigured
shell) are treated as not-set so the empty path doesn't collide with
os.path.join and silently write to /security at the filesystem root.

Implementation: a single state_dir() helper in _base.py is the source
of truth for resolution. All five modules that previously had inline
SECURITY_WARNINGS_STATE_DIR / ~/.claude/security resolutions
(_base.py, session_state.py, ensure_agent_sdk.py, llm.py, and one
site in security_reminder_hook.py) now call state_dir() instead.
Re-implementing the precedence inline risks drift — one module gets
a future fix, others don't.

The helper is called per-invocation rather than cached at import time
so test monkeypatches of the env vars take effect, and so a long-
running test or future shared-process scenario can change the env
between calls and have the next call observe the new value. The
per-call cost is negligible compared to the subprocess-spawn cost
the hooks pay every fire in production.

Three hardcoded ~/.claude/security strings remain but are NOT
functional resolutions:
  - _base.py:39: the fallback BRANCH inside state_dir() itself
  - ensure_agent_sdk.py:6, :11: docstring text describing default
                                location for users

Verified locally on macOS Python 3.13:

  - py_compile clean on all 5 modified files.
  - Existing 45 smoke + extensibility tests still pass.
  - 14 new tests in test_claude_config_dir.py (added to internal test
    suite at sg-staging/tests/, not in this PR):

      * 7 resolution-semantics: default fallback, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
        override, SECURITY_WARNINGS_STATE_DIR beats both, tilde
        expansion, empty-string handling (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR= must
        fall back, NOT join to /security).
      * 4 static-shape: each of session_state / ensure_agent_sdk /
        llm / security_reminder_hook either imports state_dir from
        _base OR has zero resolution patterns. Catches the
        regression where someone adds a new state-file writer and
        re-implements resolution inline, missing the
        CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR branch.
      * 3 end-to-end: with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set, get_state_file /
        get_lock_file return paths under <CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR>/security/;
        save_state round-trip writes a file to the redirected path
        and re-reads the same contents.

  - 59/59 pass total (45 existing + 14 new) in 2.54s.

NOT verified end-to-end with a real CC instance setting
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. The shape tests catch the regression class
(hardcoded ~/.claude/), and the end-to-end test pins the behavior
that user state files actually land at the redirected path.

Closes #1868.

Claude Code Plugins Directory

A curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code.

⚠️ Important: Make sure you trust a plugin before installing, updating, or using it. Anthropic does not control what MCP servers, files, or other software are included in plugins and cannot verify that they will work as intended or that they won't change. See each plugin's homepage for more information.

Structure

  • /plugins - Internal plugins developed and maintained by Anthropic
  • /external_plugins - Third-party plugins from partners and the community

Installation

Plugins can be installed directly from this marketplace via Claude Code's plugin system.

To install, run /plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official

or browse for the plugin in /plugin > Discover

Contributing

Internal Plugins

Internal plugins are developed by Anthropic team members. See /plugins/example-plugin for a reference implementation.

External Plugins

Third-party partners can submit plugins for inclusion in the marketplace. External plugins must meet quality and security standards for approval. To submit a new plugin, use the plugin directory submission form.

Plugin Structure

Each plugin follows a standard structure:

plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json      # Plugin metadata (required)
├── .mcp.json            # MCP server configuration (optional)
├── commands/            # Slash commands (optional)
├── agents/              # Agent definitions (optional)
├── skills/              # Skill definitions (optional)
└── README.md            # Documentation

Skill-bundle plugins

When a plugin's source repository ships skills (SKILL.md files) without a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, the marketplace entry can declare the skills directly using strict: false and an explicit skills array.

{
  "name": "example-bundle",
  "description": "Brief description of the bundled skills.",
  "author": { "name": "Author Name" },
  "category": "development",
  "source": {
    "source": "git-subdir",
    "url": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk.git",
    "path": "packages/agent-skills",
    "ref": "main",
    "sha": "<commit sha>"
  },
  "strict": false,
  "skills": [
    "./skill-a",
    "./skill-b",
    "./skill-c"
  ],
  "homepage": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk"
}

Each path in skills is relative to source.path and points at a directory containing a SKILL.md. Paths can reach deeper than a single level — for example, ["./libA/skill-1", "./libB/skill-2"] exposes a curated subset across multiple library subdirectories. Each skill is registered as <plugin-name>:<skill-name> in Claude Code.

For the underlying schema, see Strict mode in the marketplace documentation.
