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:

CategoryFiles to Check
Pythonpyproject.toml, setup.py, requirements.txt, Pipfile, poetry.lock, uv.lock
Node.jspackage.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml
Gogo.mod, go.sum
RustCargo.toml, Cargo.lock
RubyGemfile, Gemfile.lock
Javapom.xml, build.gradle, build.gradle.kts
BuildMakefile, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml
Infra*.tf files, kubernetes/, helm/
Monorepolerna.json, nx.json, turbo.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml

Phase 2: Detect Services

Check for service integrations:

ServiceDetection
Sentrysentry-sdk in deps, @sentry/​* packages, .sentryclirc, sentry.properties
LinearLinear config files, .linear/ directory

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:

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 DetectedIncludeDo NOT Include
pnpm-lock.yamlpnpm commandsnpm, yarn
yarn.lockyarn commandsnpm, pnpm
package-lock.jsonnpm commandsyarn, pnpm
poetry.lockpoetry commandspip (unless also has requirements.txt)
uv.lockuv commandspip, poetry
Pipfile.lockpipenv commandspip, poetry

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