## What it does

One engineer's Claude setup is a preference. A team's is a policy. This skill makes that policy readable, because `permissions.allow` arrays merge across files and deny beats ask beats allow wherever it is written. You cannot reconstruct the effective policy from a single file.

Four stdlib scripts do the work, with no network and no LLM calls. `settings_linter.py` checks shared, local and managed scopes; `mcp_plugin_inventory.py` builds one table of servers, plugins and marketplaces against your allowlist; `claude_md_layering_audit.py` resolves `CLAUDE.md` layers and `@imports`; `adoption_tracker.py` reads local session data and outputs counts. They read config and change nothing. Exit code 4 blocks blanket shell allows like `Bash(*)`, a literal credential in a shared `env` block, a committed `.claude/settings.local.json`, and any server or plugin missing from the approved list.

Start from `assets/managed-settings.example.json`: bypass mode off, secrets denied, risky commands on `ask`, managed hooks only. Ship it through MDM before the first seat, because policy added after habits form becomes a negotiation. The skill advises against collecting transcripts — they are plaintext and can hold secrets, so share the adoption JSON with counts only.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install coding-agent-rollout@claude-code-skills
```
This installs the whole coding-agent-rollout plugin with all its skills

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill coding-agent-rollout -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/coding-agent-rollout/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install alirezarezvani/claude-skills coding-agent-rollout
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/coding-agent-rollout/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --path engineering/coding-agent-rollout/skills/coding-agent-rollout
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### 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/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/engineering/coding-agent-rollout/skills/coding-agent-rollout/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- lint permissions across all settings scopes at once
- check MCP servers and plugins against an approved list
- see which `CLAUDE.md` layers actually load
- catch a committed `.claude/settings.local.json`
- measure team adoption without collecting transcripts

## Example prompts
- lint the settings across the repo and the managed file
- inventory every MCP server and plugin against `approved.json`
- measure adoption: `python scripts/adoption_tracker.py --member alice --output json`

# Claude Code Team Rollout

> **Portability:** 4 stdlib scripts, no network, no LLM calls. They read config and counts; they change nothing.

One engineer's Claude Code setup is a preference. A team's is a policy. Settings
merge from five scopes, `permissions.allow` arrays combine across files, and
deny beats ask beats allow wherever it is written, so nobody can read the
effective policy from a single file. This skill makes it readable, then checks it.

## Workflow

```bash
# 1 - Guardrails: lint shared, local and managed settings together.
python scripts/settings_linter.py --repo . --managed /etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json
# 2 - Inventory: every MCP server, plugin and marketplace, against your approved list.
python scripts/mcp_plugin_inventory.py --repo . --allowlist approved.json
# 3 - Instructions: what CLAUDE.md actually loads, layer by layer.
python scripts/claude_md_layering_audit.py --repo .
# 4 - Adoption: each member runs this locally and shares only the JSON counts.
python scripts/adoption_tracker.py --member alice --output json > alice.json
python scripts/adoption_tracker.py --merge *.json --seats 12 --weeks-since-launch 6
```

Start from [`assets/managed-settings.example.json`](assets/managed-settings.example.json):
