What This Does

.claude/settings.local.json accumulates one-off command approvals over time (hardcoded IDs, escaped PowerShell commands, old env paths). This skill resets it to a clean state.

Steps

1. •

   Check current file size:

   bash

   wc -l .claude/settings.local.json
   

2. •

   Back up the file:

   bash

   cp .claude/settings.local.json .claude/settings.local.json.bak
   

3. •

   Reset to minimal config — write this content to .claude/settings.local.json:

   json

   {
     "permissions": {
       "allow": []
     },
     "additionalDirectories": [
       "c:\\Users\\101097205"
     ]
   }
   

4. •

   Inform the user to restart the Claude Code session for changes to take effect.

Notes

• •The shared settings.json already covers all standard commands (git, gh, make, python, formatters)
• •Most patterns in settings.local.json are duplicates of settings.json or stale one-off approvals
• •If you find you frequently need a command, add it to settings.json instead (that's tracked in git)
• •The backup file (.bak) can be deleted once you confirm everything works
