.claude/settings.json

claude-code-kickstart is a settings file for Claude Code from codeverbojan/claude-code-kickstart. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code project-settings file that defines actions to run when a session starts, a prompt is submitted, tools are used, or the agent stops.

In plain words

Use it to configure project hooks, allowed tools, and the selected Claude Code model.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent repeatable project routines, such as loading context, checking work, and recording signals, instead of relying on memory.

Settings file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is codeverbojan/claude-code-kickstart's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-kickstart 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 claude-code-kickstart configures →

One of 6 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 5 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-kickstart scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
