Claude Settings Editor
Use this skill for settings.json, local overrides, and hook configuration.
Workflow
- Choose the correct settings file by scope: user, project, or local.
- Read the current file before editing.
- Apply the smallest valid JSON change.
- Keep permissions, hooks, plugins, and MCP configuration syntactically valid.
- Explain scope, precedence, and any risky config changes.
Guardrails
- Do not replace a config file wholesale unless necessary.
- Preserve unrelated user settings.
- Warn before widening permissions or changing automation hooks broadly.
