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:
- Summary Table - What was detected
- Recommended settings.json - Complete JSON ready to copy
- MCP Suggestions - If applicable
- 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.
