View and configure settings for coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Devin CLI/Desktop, and others). Covers JSON settings for Claude Code and Devin, TOML for Codex CLI, and JSON/JSONC for OpenCode, including permissions, sandbox, model selection, profiles, feature flags, providers, hooks, subagents, and skills.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Settings Management
Manage configuration for coding agents.
**IMPORTANT**: After modifying settings, always inform the user that they need to **restart the agent** for changes to take effect. Most settings are only loaded at startup.
## Settings File Locations
| Scope | Location | Shared with team? |
|-------|----------|-------------------|
| **User** | `~/.claude/settings.json` | No |
| **Project** | `.claude/settings.json` | Yes (committed) |
| **Local** | `.claude/settings.local.json` | No (gitignored) |
| **Managed** | System-level `managed-settings.json` | IT-deployed |
**Precedence** (highest to lowest): Managed → Command line → Local → Project → User
## Quick Actions
### View Current Settings
```bash
cat ~/.claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No user settings"
cat .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No project settings"
cat .claude/settings.local.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No local settings"
```
### Create/Edit Settings
Use the Edit or Write tool to modify settings files. Always read existing content first to merge changes.
## Common Configuration Tasks
### Set Default Model
```json
{
"model": "claude-opus-4-7",
"effort": "high"
}
```

How to install
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/settings-management@sha256:249e01eb452bb7acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.4713c9e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
