## What it does

The skill scans a repository to identify its languages, dependency managers, build tools, and monorepo markers. It checks files such as `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `Dockerfile`, and `Makefile`, and looks for Sentry and Linear integrations.

It then reads `.claude/settings.json` when available and builds a recommended allow list for read-only commands. The baseline covers filesystem inspection, Git, and GitHub CLI. Extra commands depend on the detected stack, such as `npm`, `pnpm`, `poetry`, `cargo`, `terraform`, or `docker`.

The permissions target read-only operations, so review the generated list before applying it to a project. Claude Code installation requires `npx`; the installed skill is stored at `~/.claude/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill claude-settings-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/claude-settings-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill claude-settings-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill claude-settings-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install getsentry/skills claude-settings-audit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill claude-settings-audit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/getsentry/skills --path skills/claude-settings-audit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill claude-settings-audit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/getsentry/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/claude-settings-audit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inspect existing `.claude/settings.json` permissions
- detect the repository’s language and tooling
- build an allow list for read-only commands
- account for monorepo structure when setting access

## Example prompts
- Analyze this repository and recommend read-only permissions for `.claude/settings.json`.
- Detect the project stack and build tools, then list the Bash commands that should be allowed.
- Read the current `.claude/settings.json` and compare it with the permissions this repository needs.

# Claude Settings Audit

Analyze this repository and generate recommended Claude Code `settings.json` permissions for read-only commands.

## Phase 1: Detect Tech Stack

Run these commands to detect the repository structure:

```bash
ls -la
find . -maxdepth 2 \( -name "*.toml" -o -name "*.json" -o -name "*.lock" -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" -o -name "Makefile" -o -name "Dockerfile" -o -name "*.tf" \) 2>/dev/null | head -50
```

Check for these indicator files:

| Category     | Files to Check                                                                        |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Python**   | `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile`, `poetry.lock`, `uv.lock` |
| **Node.js**  | `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`                    |
| **Go**       | `go.mod`, `go.sum`                                                                    |
| **Rust**     | `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`                                                            |
| **Ruby**     | `Gemfile`, `Gemfile.lock`                                                             |
| **Java**     | `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `build.gradle.kts`                                         |
| **Build**    | `Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`                                        |
| **Infra**    | `*.tf` files, `kubernetes/`, `helm/`                                                  |
| **Monorepo** | `lerna.json`, `nx.json`, `turbo.json`, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`                          |

## Phase 2: Detect Services

Check for service integrations:

| Service    | Detection                                                                       |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sentry** | `sentry-sdk` in deps, `@sentry/*` packages, `.sentryclirc`, `sentry.properties` |
| **Linear** | Linear config files, `.linear/` directory                                       |

Read dependency files to identify frameworks:

- `package.json` → check `dependencies` and `devDependencies`
- `pyproject.toml` → check `[project.dependencies]` or `[tool.poetry.dependencies]`
- `Gemfile` → check gem names
- `Cargo.toml` → check `[dependencies]`

## Phase 3: Check Existing Settings

```bash
cat .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No existing settings"
```

## Phase 4: Generate Recommendations

Build the allow list by combining:
