cc

A skill for maintaining cc-settings, a configuration repository and local installation for Claude Code and Codex. It either synchronises repository settings with Claude Code's upstream changes or updates a local installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review upstream changes, update configuration, refresh a local install, or remove settings that are now built in.
Why use it?
It helps keep settings current while requiring a clean repository and human approval for judgement calls.

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 B, and why

cc scanned grade B 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 369 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cc — cc-settings management

Two-mode skill: sync keeps the repo current with Claude Code upstream (maintainer task); update refreshes the active Claude Code, Codex, or combined local install (everyone). Sync does not track a Codex upstream.

Mode: sync

Audit cc-settings against Claude Code changelog; identify features to adopt and duplication to remove; stops for approval.

Track the official Claude Code changelog and keep cc-settings (schemas, config, hooks, agents, docs) in sync with new features. Removes anything that duplicates native functionality.

This is run on a weekly cadence. The mechanical parts are scripted; the judgment calls (which features to adopt, what counts as duplication) require human review at the gate.

Before you start

Always run from the cc-settings repo root. If you're not there, ask the user where it is — don't guess.

pwd  # should end in /cc-settings
git status  # tree must be clean before starting

If the tree is dirty, ask the user to commit or stash first. Sync work needs a clean baseline so the diff is reviewable.

Phase 1 — Detect drift

bun run upstream:scan

This compares upstream/claude-code-manifest.json against the live @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm version. Two outcomes:

  • No drift — manifest matches live. Stop here. There's nothing to sync. Tell the user "already in sync at v" and end.
  • Drift detected — capture both versions. Format: manifest=A → live=B.

Phase 2 — Fetch the upstream changelog

Fetch the official changelog and extract entries between the manifest version (exclusive) and the live version (inclusive):

WebFetch url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code/main/CHANGELOG.md
prompt: Extract entries for versions <A+1> through <B> verbatim. List each
        version's bullet points exactly as written.

Do not paraphrase. Quote the upstream bullets verbatim — the user needs to see exactly what was said upstream to validate your categorization.

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.

cc is a skill published in the GitHub repository darkroomengineering/cc-settings (42 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 3,444 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
