Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument.

This is Rektoooooo/CC-Settings's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on CC-Settings itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything CC-Settings configures →

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 D, and why

CC-Settings CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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 2mo 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CLAUDE.md — CC Settings

Project Overview

CC Settings is a native macOS app (SwiftUI) for managing Claude Code configuration files. It reads and writes the same JSON, markdown, and JSONL files that Claude Code uses under ~/.claude/. No external backend — everything is local file I/O.

Build & Run

# Prerequisites: macOS 26.0+, Xcode 16+, XcodeGen
brew install xcodegen          # if not installed
xcodegen generate              # regenerate after changing project.yml
open "CC Settings.xcodeproj"   # Cmd+R to build and run
  • project.yml is the source of truth for build config (XcodeGen)
  • After modifying project.yml, always run xcodegen generate before building
  • The Xcode project file is gitignored — never edit it directly

Services (singletons, injected via @EnvironmentObject)

Service Responsibility
ConfigurationManager All file I/O — loads/saves settings.json, local settings, CLAUDE.md, projects, sessions, commands, MCP servers
ThemeManager App theme state, maps to NSAppearance, persists via UserDefaults
FileWatcher FSEvents monitoring on ~/.claude/, debounced reload (0.5s), skips self-triggered saves
StatsService Aggregates usage stats from JSONL sessions, caches to ~/.claude/stats-cache.json
SessionParser Parses .jsonl session files — messages, tool calls, thinking blocks, metadata
GitService Git operations on ~/.claude/ — status, staging, commits, log, diff, push/pull

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.
