settings

Agent settings that define which tools may be used, which shell commands are allowed or blocked, and what happens when a session starts or is compacted. A compacted session is one whose earlier conversation has been shortened to save context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to control Git and file-access permissions, prevent selected risky commands, load project-state reminders at startup and run preparation work before context compaction.
Why use it?
They make the agent's permissions and project-startup reminders explicit, while blocking commands such as forced pushes and hard resets.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Grade D, and why

settings scanned grade D with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.

settings is a settings file published in the GitHub repository derjochenmeyer/claude-code-craft (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
