Claude Code Permission Fix FAQs

Question 1

How does the permission-fix skill handle duplicate permissions?

Accepted Answer

The apply-fixes operation automatically scans your settings, identifies redundant entries, and removes duplicates while sorting the list for better readability.

Question 2

Why should I consolidate permissions into wildcards?

Accepted Answer

Consolidating specific file paths into wildcards (like *.log) reduces the size of your settings file and prevents Claude from needing a new permission prompt for every newly generated file.

Question 3

What is the difference between global and project targets?

Accepted Answer

The global target modifies permissions in your home directory's ~/.claude/settings.json, while the project target applies changes to the local .claude/settings.json within your current repository.

Question 4

How does it integrate with Permission Doctor?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to use permission-doctor first for read-only analysis of your settings, then use permission-fix to apply the recommended repairs and optimizations.

Question 5

Can I preview changes before they are applied to my settings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all write operations support a --dry-run flag which allows you to see a JSON output of exactly what changes would be made without modifying the files.
