# Explanatory Output Style Plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin recreates the deprecated Explanatory output style as a SessionStart hook.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
When enabled, this plugin automatically adds instructions at the start of each session that encourage Claude to:
|
|
|
|
1. Provide educational insights about implementation choices
|
|
2. Explain codebase patterns and decisions
|
|
3. Balance task completion with learning opportunities
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
The plugin uses a SessionStart hook to inject additional context into every session. This context instructs Claude to provide brief educational explanations before and after writing code, formatted as:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
`★ Insight ─────────────────────────────────────`
|
|
[2-3 key educational points]
|
|
`─────────────────────────────────────────────────`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install this plugin from the Claude Code marketplace, or manually by placing it in your `.claude/plugins` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once installed, the plugin activates automatically at the start of every session. No additional configuration is needed.
|
|
|
|
The insights focus on:
|
|
- Specific implementation choices for your codebase
|
|
- Patterns and conventions in your code
|
|
- Trade-offs and design decisions
|
|
- Codebase-specific details rather than general programming concepts
|
|
|
|
## Migration from Output Styles
|
|
|
|
This plugin replaces the deprecated "Explanatory" output style setting. If you previously used:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"outputStyle": "Explanatory"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now achieve the same behavior by installing this plugin instead.
|
|
|
|
## Managing changes
|
|
|
|
* Disable the plugin - keep the code installed on your device
|
|
* Uninstall the plugin - remove the code from your device
|
|
* Update the plugin - create a local copy of this plugin to personalize this plugin
|
|
- Hint: Ask Claude to read https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins.md and set it up for you!
