FAQPage Schema

How do I audit Claude Code settings for conflicting permissions?▼

To audit Claude Code settings, this Skill scans project, local, and global JSON files, classifies permissions by tool and scope, and flags conflicting rules. It then outputs a reconciled configuration with diffs for your review.

What are overly broad permissions in Claude Code settings.json?▼

Overly broad permissions in Claude Code settings.json are access rules granting excessive tool privileges across scopes. This Skill detects these risky entries by analyzing project, local, and global configurations and proposes safer consolidations.

How do I reconcile settings between global and project-level Claude Code configs?▼

To reconcile settings between global and project-level Claude Code configs, this Skill compares the JSON files, detects duplicate or conflicting rules, and generates a harmonized configuration with diffs to reduce security risks.

Does this settings audit work with local .claude/settings.local.json files?▼

Yes, this settings audit works with local .claude/settings.local.json files. It analyzes both shared and personal configurations across project, local, and global scopes to identify conflicts and generate a consolidated output.

Why does Claude Code have duplicate permission rules in different settings files?▼

Duplicate permission rules occur because Claude Code configurations accumulate across project, local, and global scopes over time. This Skill detects these overlapping entries and guides you toward a reconciled configuration by proposing consolidations.
