Where are the global settings stored?

Global user settings are located at ~/.claude/settings.json on most systems, providing a baseline configuration for all your projects.

What are automation hooks in settings?

Hooks are triggers that execute commands automatically based on tool usage. For example, a PostToolUse hook can be configured to run a formatter like Prettier every time Claude finishes writing to a file.

Can I restrict specific commands in Claude Code?

Yes, you can use the 'permissions' object to explicitly 'allow' or 'deny' Bash commands using exact matches, wildcards (e.g., Bash(npm *)), or regex patterns.

How do I view my currently effective settings?

You can use the /settings command within the Claude Code terminal to view the merged effective configuration or use /settings user or /settings project to check specific scopes.

How does the Claude Code settings hierarchy work?

Settings follow a specific priority order: Enterprise policies are highest, followed by local project settings (.claude/settings.local.json), team project settings (.claude/settings.json), and finally user global settings (~/.claude/settings.json).

学習とドキュメンテーション

Provides a comprehensive guide and configuration patterns for managing Claude Code hierarchy, tool permissions, and environment settings.

This skill equips Claude Code with a deep understanding of its own configuration system, enabling it to assist users in managing project-specific settings, global preferences, and enterprise policies. It covers the full hierarchy of settings files, from enterprise-managed policies to local gitignored overrides, ensuring users can securely configure tool permissions, model selections, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. By providing standardized patterns for hooks and environment variables, it helps developers create a tailored, automated, and secure AI-assisted coding environment.
