Will updating overwrite my custom project settings?

No, the skill is designed to be non-destructive. It preserves custom configurations in .claude/settings.json, environment variables, and active tasks in your Plans.md file.

Can it fix permission syntax errors automatically?

Yes, Phase 1.5 of the update process specifically detects and fixes legacy permission syntax and deprecated settings to ensure compatibility with the latest Claude Code versions.

What safety measures are in place during the update?

Before any changes are applied, the skill creates a timestamped backup of your current configuration in the .claude-code-harness/backups/ directory.

How does it handle localized files?

The skill checks for localization status. If a file hasn't been localized, it is updated to the latest version; if it has been customized, the skill uses a merge support flow with user confirmation.
