Creates and improves a plugin's settings and permissions per target and recommends least-privilege allowlists. Use when authoring settings, scoping permissions, wiring environment variables, or registering hooks in settings.

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

# askit-build-settings

## Purpose
Author and improve a plugin's settings and permissions, following the builder pattern ([../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md](../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md)). `create` scaffolds the settings per target (Claude Code `settings.json` - permissions, env, hook registration; Codex `config.toml` for the subset it supports); `improve` tightens an existing one. It also folds in permission advice: recommend the least-privilege allowlist a plugin needs, never broader (Standard sec 9). Recipe and the permission rubric are in [references/settings-recipe.md](references/settings-recipe.md).

## When to use
When authoring settings, scoping permissions, wiring environment variables, or registering hooks in settings.

## create mode
1. Read what the plugin actually needs (which tools, which paths, which env, which hooks).
2. Scaffold the settings per target: Claude Code `settings.json` (a `permissions` allow/deny set, `env`, and `hooks` registration); Codex `config.toml` for the subset it supports.
3. Apply least privilege: the allowlist grants only what a component uses; secrets go through `env` indirection, never committed (sec 9).

## improve mode

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/askit-build-settings@sha256:f840350e88d5044a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
