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:

Category	Files to Check
Python	pyproject.toml, setup.py, requirements.txt, Pipfile, poetry.lock, uv.lock
Node.js	package.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml
Go	go.mod, go.sum
Rust	Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock
Ruby	Gemfile, Gemfile.lock
Java	pom.xml, build.gradle, build.gradle.kts
Build	Makefile, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml
Infra	*.tf files, kubernetes/, helm/
Monorepo	lerna.json, nx.json, turbo.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml

Phase 2: Detect Services

Check for service integrations:

Service	Detection
Sentry	sentry-sdk in deps, @sentry/* packages, .sentryclirc, sentry.properties
Linear	Linear 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 Detected	Include	Do NOT Include
pnpm-lock.yaml	pnpm commands	npm, yarn
yarn.lock	yarn commands	npm, pnpm
package-lock.json	npm commands	yarn, pnpm
poetry.lock	poetry commands	pip (unless also has requirements.txt)
uv.lock	uv commands	pip, poetry
Pipfile.lock	pipenv commands	pip, poetry

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