SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python3, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the security risk of accumulated, forgotten, or overly broad permission grants in Claude Code settings that can lead to unauthorized system access or credential exposure.

Core Features & Use Cases

Risk Classification: Automatically categorizes existing allow-list rules by risk level, such as destructive commands or credential access.
Interactive Cleanup: Provides a safe, human-in-the-loop workflow to remove or narrow down risky permissions without breaking your current agent flow.
Baseline Verification: Compares current permissions against role-based baselines to identify potential drift or privilege escalation.

Quick Start

Run the audit-permissions skill to scan your current project settings and interactively remove any unnecessary or risky standing permission grants.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit standing permission grants in Claude Code configuration files?▼

Auditing permission grants involves scanning Claude Code configuration files to classify allow-list rules by destructive potential and credential exposure. This skill interactively helps you remove risky standing permissions to minimize security vulnerabilities.

What security risks come from accumulated allow-list rules in agent settings?▼

Accumulated allow-list rules in agent settings create security risks like unauthorized system access and credential exposure. Forgotten or overly broad permission grants can allow destructive commands to execute without proper authorization.

Do I need Python 3 to run a permission audit on Claude Code settings?▼

Yes, Python 3 is required to execute the internal permission audit script. The skill relies on Python 3 to scan local Claude Code settings files and classify allow-list rules by risk level.

Can I safely remove risky permissions without breaking my current agent workflow?▼

Yes, you can safely remove risky permissions without breaking your agent workflow. The skill uses an interactive human-in-the-loop cleanup process to narrow down or remove risky allow-list rules while maintaining your current agent flow.

How does baseline verification detect permission drift or privilege escalation?▼

Baseline verification detects permission drift by comparing your current allow-list rules against role-based baselines. This process identifies potential privilege escalation or security risks caused by accumulated or overly broad permission grants in your settings.
