A browser-based editor for Claude Code settings.json files, with explanations of each setting and visual controls instead of raw JSON. It can write the changes back to the selected file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and edit Claude Code settings, choose between settings files, and check changes in a Chromium browser. It is a single HTML file with no build step or server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-settings-editor CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Claude Settings Editor

GUI-Editor für Claude Code settings.json-Dateien. Erklärt jede Einstellung auf Deutsch (UI ist mehrsprachig), erlaubt visuelles Bearbeiten statt Roh-JSON und schreibt die Datei direkt über die File System Access API zurück.

Stack & Struktur

  • Single-File-App: claude-settings-editor.html — kein Build, kein Server, kein package.json. Tailwind CSS via CDN, Alpine.js 3.14 (Reaktivität), JetBrains Mono + DM Sans.
  • open-editor.py / open-editor.bat — Companion-Script, findet User-/Project-/Local-settings.json automatisch und öffnet den Editor pre-loaded (Priorität: Local > Project > User > Defaults).
  • docs/plans/ — Design-/Feature-Abgleich-Dokumente (kein Code).
  • logo.svg, README.md.

Kommandos

  • Öffnen (manuell): claude-settings-editor.html in einem Chromium-Browser öffnen (File System Access API braucht Chromium — Firefox/Safari nicht voll unterstützt).
  • Öffnen (Auto-Detect): python open-editor.py
  • Kein Build-Schritt für Nutzer; Werkzeugkette nur für Pflegende (Tests, Selbst-Check, Generator, siehe unten). UI-Änderungen zusätzlich im Browser verifizieren (Neuladen der HTML-Datei).
  • Tests: node --test tools/*.test.js (Node 26, node:test)
  • Selbst-Check: node tools/self-check.js (Exit 1 bei harten Befunden — vor jedem Commit)
  • Schema-Extrakt erneuern: node tools/build-schema-map.js --fetch (schreibt SCHEMA_MAP in die HTML; tools/sources/settings-reference.md bleibt gitignored)

Constraints & Gotchas

  • 15 Tabs, 6 Sprachen (de, en, es, fr, ja, pt): jedes neue User-facing Text-Element braucht einen Key im T-Objekt in allen 6 Sprachen — nicht nur Deutsch.
  • Jedes neue Setting braucht 4 Stellen: defaultSettings(), cleanJson(), loadJson(), knownKeys — sonst wird es beim Export/Import silent gedroppt (bereits mehrfach passiert, z. B. env-Vars, cleanupPeriodDays) — außer es läuft über extraFields() (v1.8): dann ein Listeneintrag plus extra.<key> in sechs Sprachen, der Selbst-Check prüft beides.
  • Boolean-Export-Falle: Settings mit Default false (z. B. spinnerTipsEnabled, showTurnDuration) müssen bei true exportiert werden, nicht invertiert — war ein wiederkehrender Bug.
  • Alpine.js-Reaktivität: kein delete-Operator auf reaktiven Objekten verwenden — Object-Reassign-Pattern nutzen, sonst bricht die Reaktivität.
  • Roundtrip-Sicherheit: unbekannte/fremde Properties aus importierten settings.json-Dateien werden über _extraProps erhalten, nicht verworfen — beim Ändern der Import/Export-Logik darauf achten.
  • Permission-Mode-Werte sind Breaking-Change-anfällig: Claude Code hat allowPrompt→default, acceptAll→bypassPermissions umbenannt — bei neuen Claude-Code-Releases aktiv auf weitere Wert-Änderungen prüfen (nicht raten, gegen offizielles JSON-Schema json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json verifizieren).
  • Model-Liste/-Beschreibungen veralten schnell (Claude-Releases sind schneller als der Editor) — vor jedem Feature-Update aktiv nach aktuellen Modell-IDs/Aliasen recherchieren, nicht aus altem Wissen übernehmen.
  • Bei größeren Feature-Batches hat sich das Muster HIVE-Schwarm (Recherche/Bau parallel) + abschließende SENTINEL/Code-Review-Runde bewährt.
  • Schema hinkt dem Changelog hinterher (09/2026: Schema 2.1.219, Changelog 2.1.267): neue Keys wie maxEffortLevel/modelSettings stehen nur im Changelog (raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code/main/CHANGELOG.md) — beide Quellen diffen, nicht nur das Schema.
  • Erfundene Keys nicht stillschweigend behalten: legacyKeys in loadJson() listet Schlüssel, die der Editor früher schrieb, Claude Code aber nie las (releaseChannel, fileSuggestions, autoDreamEnabled, teamateMode). Sie werden beim Import mit Hinweis verworfen statt über _extraProps zurückgeschrieben; Wert-Migrationen (Typo, Groß-/Kleinschreibung) direkt daneben.
  • Datei ist durchgehend CRLF — Patch-Skripte erst normalisieren (LF), am Ende zurück; grep -c zählt Zeilen, nicht Vorkommen (grep -o | wc -l).
  • Neue Keys: zusätzlich zu den 4 Stellen muss der Key in SCHEMA_MAP existieren (sonst schlägt self-check an) — erfundene Keys fallen damit auf.
  • Migrations-Fix für einen veralteten, aber noch wirksamen Key: ins neue Feld übersetzen, nicht löschen.
  • Dynamisch eingefügte Hinweistexte können Buttons aus dem sichtbaren Fenster schieben — Lage in allen Sprachen nachmessen.
  • Ein ausdrückliches false in geschichteten Settings ist etwas anderes als ein fehlender Key — beim Speichern erhalten.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
