Claude Settings Editor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only helper for carefully editing Claude JSON settings, with no hidden code, installs, network behavior, or credential use found.

Before using it, specify the exact Claude settings file or scope you want changed, review the diff before accepting writes, and be especially careful with hook, permission, plugin, or MCP changes because those can affect future agent behavior.

Finding
The manifest's default prompt begins with "Help me update Claude settings...", and "help me" is a generic everyday phrase rather than a narrowly scoped invocation. In a manifest file, this kind of broad activation wording can create ambiguity about when the skill should activate versus ordinary conversation.
