Sort, dedupe, and audit Claude settings.json / settings.local.json at user/project level. Flags risky permissions, broken references, glob-subsumed entries, and cross-file duplicates. Mechanical fixes auto-apply; judgment calls become triage items.
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
# Tidy Settings Occasional housekeeping on your Claude permissions. Settings files accumulate cruft: the same permission added narrowly five times, references to skills/scripts that no longer exist, redundant entries that one user-level rule already covers, and the occasional risky `Bash(curl:*)` you wish you hadn't accepted. This skill cleans the mechanical noise itself and surfaces the judgment-heavy items for your review. ## When to use - Periodically (every few weeks), when settings files feel cluttered. - After a long stretch where you've been clicking "Yes" to permission prompts and want to see what stuck. - Before sharing or committing a project-level `settings.json` — to make sure it's tidy and free of personal/local lines. Complementary to `fewer-permission-prompts` (which adds permissions); this *cleans* them. ## What it does **Auto-applied (mechanical, safe):** - Canonical sort: arrays grouped by tool prefix (`Bash`, `Edit`, `Read`, `Write`, `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, `Skill`, `Task`, `mcp__*`), alphabetical within group. - Exact dedupe. - Backup files (`.bak`) written alongside each modified file. **Reported for your judgment (never auto-removed):** …

How to install
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/tidy-settings@sha256:4bb78c8934ca1c09The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
