Is settings.local.json safe for sensitive data?

While it is excluded from Git by default, it is still a plain text file on your disk. It is recommended to use it for environment variable references rather than hardcoding sensitive API keys.

Can I override the main project settings.json?

Yes, values defined in settings.local.json take priority over the shared settings.json file, allowing you to customize your individual workflow.

What happens if the .claude folder doesn't exist?

The skill automatically creates the .claude directory and initializes the settings file using a template if it's missing.

Does this skill change settings for my whole team?

No, this skill specifically targets the local settings file which is ignored by Git, ensuring your personal preferences stay on your machine only.

开发者工具

Manages personal, non-committed Claude Code configurations by updating the local settings file.

The Local Settings Manager streamlines the management of .claude/settings.local.json, allowing developers to customize their Claude Code environment without affecting the rest of the team. It automatically handles directory creation, provides templates for common configurations, and enables individual overrides for permissions, allowed tools, and environment variables. By ensuring these settings remain local and excluded from Git, it offers a safe way to experiment with experimental features or set developer-specific preferences without risking repository configuration drift.
