14471447| `managed-settings.json` | System-level, varies by OS | Enterprise-enforced settings that you can't override, apart from [narrow exceptions](/docs/en/settings#security-keys-where-the-stricter-value-applies). See [where to save the file](/docs/en/managed-settings#deploy-a-managed-settings-file) and [which managed source Claude Code uses](/docs/en/managed-settings#precedence-within-the-managed-tier). |

14491449| `AGENTS.md` | Project root, `.claude/`, or any directory | Project instructions you write for AI coding agents. Claude Code can [load it](/docs/en/memory#agents-md) on its own or alongside `CLAUDE.md`. |
1450| Installed plugins | `~/.claude/plugins` | Cloned marketplaces, installed plugin versions, the `installed_plugins.json` install record, and per-plugin data, managed by `claude plugin` commands. Plugins [synced from your claude.ai account](/docs/en/plugins/loading#synced-plugins) download into `~/.claude/plugins/synced/`. For a plugin installed from a marketplace [`command` source](/docs/en/plugins/marketplace-reference#command-plugin-source) in link mode, Claude Code stores links here instead of a copy, and the plugin's files stay in the directory the command prints. A `command` source requires Claude Code v2.1.229 or later. A plugin listed by relative path in a local-directory marketplace also [loads in place](/docs/en/plugins/loading#find-plugins-on-disk) from its source directory rather than from a cache copy. See [plugin caching](/docs/en/plugins/loading#find-plugins-on-disk) for how orphaned versions are cleaned up. |
