Understanding Scopes

Plugins and skills each have their own scope system that controls where they're installed. The defaults are opposite — be aware of this when mixing both systems.

Plugin Scopes (claude plugin install)

Scope	Flag	Location	Use Case
User	(default)	~/.claude/settings.json	Available across all projects
Project	--scope project	.claude/settings.json	Committed with your project, shared with team

# Example: install a plugin at project scope instead of the default user scope
claude plugin install vscode-api@claude-gcode-tools --scope project

npx skills Scopes (npx skills add)

Scope	Flag	Location	Use Case
Project	(default)	.claude/skills/	Committed with your project, shared with team
User	-g	~/.claude/skills/	Available across all projects

# Example: install a skill at user scope instead of the default project scope
npx skills add owner/repo -a claude-code -g
