πŸ“– About This Skill

name: "claude_settings_editor" description: "Use when the user wants to update Claude settings, hooks, permissions, MCP server toggles, or other JSON config safely and with scope awareness."

Claude Settings Editor

Use this skill for settings.json, local overrides, and hook configuration.

Workflow

1. Choose the correct settings file by scope: user, project, or local. 2. Read the current file before editing. 3. Apply the smallest valid JSON change. 4. Keep permissions, hooks, plugins, and MCP configuration syntactically valid. 5. 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.

    • Example Requests

  • Update project hooks without breaking existing settings.
  • Change Claude permissions and MCP toggles in the right settings file.

    • Inputs

  • Requested configuration change
  • Desired scope
  • Existing settings state

    • Success Criteria

  • Only the intended file was changed.

    • Non-Goals

  • Silent permission broadening
