ignore-setup

ignore-setup is a skill for Claude Code from Malo-T/claude-toolbelt. It costs 157 tokens per session (1,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that configures Claude Code's file discovery for a project. It uses ignore rules, a setting that makes Glob follow them, and read-deny rules for secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean up default file discovery and configure which paths Glob, searches, or Claude cannot read.
Why use it?
It stops routine searches from surfacing lockfiles, generated code, minified assets, binaries, and selected secrets while leaving other excluded paths readable when needed.

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

ignore-setup 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 11d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ignore Setup

Configure a project so the default file discovery is clean, while every excluded path stays readable on purpose. Three layers, one command.

/clean-context:ignore-setup

Measuring the before/after counts and writing patterns from the catalogue below is mechanical — don't deliberate over it. Save the actual thinking for the guardrails: what counts as generated, and when to ask before excluding something.

.claudeignore does not exist

If that is what was asked for, say so once and move on — it is the most common wrong turn here. There is no .claudeignore in Claude Code (verified by inspecting the 2.1.x binary: zero occurrences of claudeignore, CLAUDE_IGNORE, ignoreFile). A file placed at the root does nothing at all. What exists instead:

Lever Read Grep Glob @ picker
.gitignore / .ignore ignores it, reads anyway respected not respected respected
env: CLAUDE_CODE_GLOB_NO_IGNORE=false makes Glob respect them
permissions.deny: ["Read(…)"] hard block, no prompt excluded excluded excluded

Grep runs ripgrep without --no-ignore (only .git, .svn, .hg, .bzr, .jj, .sl are excluded in code), so it already obeys ignore files. Glob passes --no-ignore --hidden unless the env var above says otherwise. Read-deny rules are turned into negative ripgrep globs for Grep, Glob and the project file listing — that is the only lever that hides and blocks.

The consequence that shapes everything below: an ignore file hides a path from discovery but never blocks Read. Clean by default, explicit on demand. permissions.deny is a wall, so it is for secrets only. permissions.ask is not a middle ground — only deny feeds the Grep/Glob exclusions, so it costs a prompt per read and cleans nothing.

These are version-specific facts (checked on 2.1.222). If a behaviour below does not reproduce, re-check it rather than trusting this table.

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.
