Claude Settings Audit

Claude Settings Audit

Analyze this repository and generate recommended Claude Code settings.json permissions for read-only commands.

Phase 1: Detect Tech Stack

Run these commands to detect the repository structure:

ls -la
find . -maxdepth 2 \( -name "*.toml" -o -name "*.json" -o -name "*.lock" -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" -o -name "Makefile" -o -name "Dockerfile" -o -name "*.tf" \) 2>/dev/null | head -50

Check for these indicator files:

Phase 2: Detect Services

Check for service integrations:

Read dependency files to identify frameworks:

• package.json → check dependencies and devDependencies
• pyproject.toml → check [project.dependencies] or [tool.poetry.dependencies]
• Gemfile → check gem names
• Cargo.toml → check [dependencies]

Phase 3: Check Existing Settings

cat .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No existing settings"

Phase 4: Generate Recommendations

Build the allow list by combining:

Framework-Specific

MCP Server Suggestions

MCP servers are configured in .mcp.json (not settings.json). Check for existing config:

cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No existing .mcp.json"

Sentry MCP (if Sentry SDK detected)

Add to .mcp.json (replace {org-slug} and {project-slug} with your Sentry organization and project slugs):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sentry": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp/{org-slug}/{project-slug}"
    }
  }
}

Linear MCP (if Linear usage detected)

Add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@linear/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LINEAR_API_KEY": "${LINEAR_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Never suggest GitHub MCP. Always use gh CLI commands for GitHub.

Output Format

Present your findings as:

1. Summary Table - What was detected
2. Recommended settings.json - Complete JSON ready to copy
3. MCP Suggestions - If applicable
4. Merge Instructions - If existing settings found

Example output structure:

## Detected Tech Stack

| Category        | Found          |
| --------------- | -------------- |
| Languages       | Python 3.x     |
| Package Manager | poetry         |
| Frameworks      | Django, Celery |
| Services        | Sentry         |
| Build Tools     | Docker, Make   |

## Recommended .claude/settings.json

\`\`\`json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
// ... grouped by category with comments
],
"deny": []
}
}
\`\`\`

## Recommended .mcp.json (if applicable)

If you use Sentry or Linear, add the MCP config to `.mcp.json`...

Important Rules

What to Include

• Only READ-ONLY commands that cannot modify state
• Only tools that are actually used by the project (detected via lock files)
• Standard system commands (ls, cat, find, etc.)
• The :* suffix allows any arguments to the base command

What to NEVER Include

• Absolute paths - Never include user-specific paths like /home/user/scripts/foo or /Users/name/bin/bar
• Custom scripts - Never include project scripts that may have side effects (e.g., ./scripts/deploy.sh)
• Alternative package managers - If the project uses pnpm, do NOT include npm/yarn commands
• Commands that modify state - No install, build, run, write, or delete commands

Package Manager Rules

Only include the package manager actually used by the project:

If multiple lock files exist, include only the commands for each detected manager.
