+# Claude Code Plugin
+
+The `claude-code` plugin adds several aliases and helper functions for [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code), the CLI for Claude.
+
+To use it, add `claude-code` to the plugins array of your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... claude-code)
+```
+
+## Configuration Variables
+
+Set these in your `~/.zshrc` **before** the plugins line:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_MODEL` | _(unset)_ | Default model applied to all session aliases (e.g., `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, or a full model ID) |
+| `ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_EFFORT` | _(unset)_ | Default reasoning effort level (`low`, `medium`, `high`, `max`) |
+| `ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_PERMISSION_MODE` | _(unset)_ | Default permission mode (`acceptEdits`, `bypassPermissions`, `default`, `dontAsk`, `plan`, `auto`) |
+| `ZSH_CLAUDE_AUTO_CONTINUE` | `false` | Auto-resume last conversation on new shell start |
+
+> **How defaults work:** All session-starting aliases (`cl`, `clc`, `clr`, `cln`, `clw`, etc.) automatically
+> inject your configured defaults. If you also pass a flag explicitly (e.g., `cl --model opus`), the explicit
+> flag takes precedence since it appears after the defaults on the command line.
+
+### Example
+
+```zsh
+# ~/.zshrc
+ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_MODEL="sonnet"
+ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_EFFORT="high"
+ZSH_CLAUDE_DEFAULT_PERMISSION_MODE="plan"
+ZSH_CLAUDE_AUTO_CONTINUE=false
+
+plugins=(... claude-code)
+```
