Use it when onboarding a repository or cleaning up missing ignore rules for Claude Code runtime files.

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 A, and why

configure-gitignore scanned grade A with 0 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 1mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/configure:gitignore

Append a managed Claude Code runtime-state block to a repo's .gitignore so the files Claude Code writes during a session — agent worktrees, the scheduled-task lock, the per-user local settings overlay — never get committed. The block is added non-destructively: every other line in the repo's .gitignore is left untouched.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Onboarding a repo to Claude Code (also reachable via /configure:repo) Ignoring a project-specific build artifact — edit .gitignore directly
A repo's .gitignore is missing the Claude Code runtime-state entries Configuring .gitattributes — use /configure:gitattributes
.claude/worktrees/ or settings.local.json keeps showing as untracked Configuring Claude Code settings — use /configure:repo

The managed block

# Claude Code runtime state (managed by /configure:gitignore)
.claude/worktrees/
/worktrees/
.claude/scheduled_tasks.lock
.claude/settings.local.json
Entry Why it's ignored
.claude/worktrees/ Agent worktree checkouts created by Agent(isolation: "worktree") and Wave dispatch
/worktrees/ Repo-root variant some workflows use for the same agent worktrees
.claude/scheduled_tasks.lock Scheduled-task lock — pure runtime state
.claude/settings.local.json Per-user local settings overlay — personal, not shared

The block is additive only — it never removes or reorders existing lines, and a project that wants more ignored (e.g. OpenCode export artifacts) keeps those entries alongside this block.

Context

  • Existing gitignore: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name .gitignore -type f
  • Claude dir present: !find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -name .claude

Parameters

Parameter Description
--check-only Report which managed entries are missing without writing any file
--fix Append the missing entries without prompting

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.
