14451445| File | Location | Purpose |
14461446| - | - | - |
1447| `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). |
1447| `managed-settings.json` | System-level, varies by OS | Enterprise-enforced settings that your own settings files and `--settings` values can't override, apart from [narrow exceptions](/docs/en/settings#exceptions-to-managed-settings-precedence). 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). |
14481448| `CLAUDE.local.md` | Project root | Your private preferences for this project, loaded alongside CLAUDE.md. Create it manually and add it to `.gitignore`. |
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) in place of a `CLAUDE.md`. |
14501450| 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 marketplace you added from a local path 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. |

14761476 Several things can override what you put in these files:
14771477
1478 * [Managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings) deployed by your organization take precedence over everything, apart from the [exceptions under Settings precedence](/docs/en/settings#exceptions-to-managed-settings-precedence)
1478 * [Managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings) deployed by your organization take precedence over every settings file and `--settings` value, apart from the [exceptions under Settings precedence](/docs/en/settings#exceptions-to-managed-settings-precedence)
14791479 * CLI flags like `--permission-mode` or `--settings` override `settings.json` for that session
14801480 * Some environment variables take precedence over their equivalent setting, but this varies: check the [environment variables reference](/docs/en/env-vars) for each one
