fixclaude

A guided tool for checking and improving Claude Code settings. Claude Code is a coding assistant that runs in a development environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the Claude settings file, apply recommended performance changes, and optionally add companion tools.
Why use it?
It helps identify configuration problems that may make Claude Code slow, ineffective, or unreliable. The wizard explains each setting in plain language.

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

fixclaude 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

Read the user's current settings file at `~/.claude/settings.json`. Parse the existing `env` block and top-level fields. Note which of the core fixes are already applied vs missing.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fix Claude Code — Interactive Performance Wizard

Run an interactive wizard that detects the user's current Claude Code configuration, applies proven performance fixes, and optionally installs powerful companion tools. Walk through every step in plain language so any user — beginner or expert — understands what's happening and why.

Tone & Style

Keep explanations short, friendly, and jargon-free. One or two sentences per setting. Use simple analogies when helpful. Never assume the user knows what an environment variable is — just show what changes and why it helps.

Wizard Flow

Step 1: Welcome & Detect Current State

Display a brief welcome message explaining what the wizard does.

Read the user's current settings file at ~/.claude/settings.json. Parse the existing env block and top-level fields. Note which of the core fixes are already applied vs missing.

If the file doesn't exist, note that a fresh settings file will be created.

Step 2: Core Performance Fixes

Load references/core-settings.md for the detailed explanation of each setting.

Present all 8 core fixes in a clear table showing:

  • Setting name
  • What it does (plain English, one line)
  • Current value → Recommended value

The 8 core fixes are:

Setting Purpose
CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL Max reasoning every turn
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING Consistent deep thinking
MAX_THINKING_TOKENS Maximum reasoning budget
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT More compute for thinking
alwaysThinkingEnabled Extended thinking every turn
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER Smooth screen rendering
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC Disable telemetry and background network
CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS Multi-agent coordination

Note: Mention that CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=max uses more tokens per turn (higher cost on API plans; included on Max subscriptions). Also note that agent teams (CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS) uses significantly more tokens when active (~7x) — it enables the capability but does not activate by default, so there is no cost unless the user explicitly uses agent teams.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

fixclaude is a skill published in the GitHub repository JCodesMore/fix-claude-code (20 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 1,781 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
