Extends the DIS scanner and its shared permission-rules lib with two
documented Claude Code permission footguns. Verified verbatim against
code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions (fetched 2026-06-19).
- lib/permission-rules.mjs: new isIneffectiveAllowGlob(entry) — unanchored
tool-name globs in permissions.allow (`*`, `B*`, `mcp__*`) that CC silently
skips ("does not auto-approve anything"); valid only as a glob-free
`mcp__<server>__*`. Shared with CNF.
- lib/permission-rules.mjs: dominates() now treats the `Tool(*)` deny-all glob
as equivalent to a bare deny (covers a bare allow) — CC: "Bash(*) is
equivalent to Bash ... both forms remove the tool from Claude's context".
- DIS: new finding "Ineffective allow wildcard — Claude Code ignores this rule"
(low, permissions-hygiene, CA-DIS-NNN); the existing dead-allow finding now
also catches a bare allow killed by a Tool(*) deny.
- 9 new tests (5 lib, 4 DIS) + 2 fixtures (force-added past .gitignore .claude/).
Suite 903 -> 912. Snapshot unchanged, contamination grep clean. README/CLAUDE/
scanner-internals document the broadened DIS mandate; test badge synced.
self-audit: PASS, configGrade A 96, pluginGrade A 100, readme gate passed.

# Config-Audit Plugin
|
|
|
|
Claude Code Configuration Intelligence — know if your configuration is correct, find what could improve it, fix it automatically.
|
|
|
|
## What this plugin does
|
|
|
|
Analyzes and optimizes Claude Code configuration across three pillars:
|
|
- **Health** — Deterministic scanners verify correctness, consistency, and completeness
|
|
- **Opportunities** — Context-aware recommendations for features that could benefit your project
|
|
- **Action** — Auto-fix with backup/rollback
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
### Core (just run `/config-audit` to get started)
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|

|
|
| `/config-audit tokens` | prompt-cache-aware token hotspots (6 patterns: cache-breaking, redundant perms, deep imports, oversized cascade, bloated SKILL.md desc, MCP tool-schema budget) — optional `--accurate-tokens` API calibration, `--with-telemetry-recipe` cache-hit recipe pointer |
|
|
| `/config-audit manifest` | Ranked table of every system-prompt token source (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, MCP, hooks) sorted by estimated tokens |
|
|
| `/config-audit feature-gap` | Context-aware feature recommendations grouped by impact (incl. a conditional `disableBundledSkills` lever when the active skill listing is over budget — remediation companion to SKL `CA-SKL-002`) |

## Reference docs (read on demand)
|
|
|
|
- **Scanner inventory, lib modules, action engines, knowledge base:** `docs/scanner-internals.md`
|
|
- **Plain-language output (v5.1.0), humanizer vocabularies, output modes:** `docs/humanizer.md`
|
|
|
|
## Plain-Language Output (v5.1.0) — summary
|
|
|
|
Default output of all 18 commands routes through `humanizeEnvelope` from `lib/humanizer.mjs`. Findings get three decorated fields:
|
|
|
|
- `userImpactCategory` — Configuration mistake / Conflict / Wasted tokens / Dead config / Missed opportunity
|
|
- `userActionLanguage` — Fix this now / Fix soon / Fix when convenient / Optional cleanup / FYI (derived from severity)
|
|
- `relevanceContext` — `affects-everyone` (default) / `affects-this-machine-only` (`*.local.*` files) / `test-fixture-no-impact`
|
|
|
|
`--raw` bypasses the humanizer for byte-stable v5.0.0 output. `--json` is also byte-stable. Full detail and Wave 5 lessons: `docs/humanizer.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Suppressions
|
|
|
|
Create `.config-audit-ignore` at project root to suppress known findings:
|
|
```
|
|
CA-SET-003 # Exact ID
|
|
CA-GAP-* # Glob pattern (all GAP findings)
|
|
```
|
|
Suppressed findings tracked in envelope's `suppressed_findings` for audit trail. Disable with `--no-suppress`.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Workflow
|
|
```
|
|
/config-audit → discover + analyze (auto) → plan → implement → verify
|
|
```
|
|
Default: auto-detects scope from git context. Override with `/config-audit full|repo|home|current`. Delta mode: `--delta` (incremental).
|
|
|
|
### Session Directory
|
|
```
|
|
~/.claude/config-audit/sessions/{session-id}/
|
|
├── scope.yaml, discovery.json, state.yaml
|
|
├── findings/, analysis-report.md, action-plan.md
|
|
├── backups/, implementation-log.md
|
|
└── interview.md (if interview run)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Finding ID Format
|
|
`CA-{SCANNER}-{NNN}` — e.g. `CA-CML-001`, `CA-SET-003`, `CA-HKV-002`, `CA-RUL-005`, `CA-TOK-005`, `CA-CPS-001`, `CA-DIS-001`, `CA-COL-001`, `CA-SKL-001`
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node --test 'tests/**/*.test.mjs'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
912 tests across 56 test files (17 lib + 29 scanner + 1 hook + 1 agent + 3 commands + 1 knowledge + 4 top-level). Test fixtures in `tests/fixtures/`. Top-level humanizer tests: `json-backcompat.test.mjs`, `raw-backcompat.test.mjs`, `scenario-read-test.test.mjs`, `snapshot-default-output.test.mjs`.
|
|
|
|
### DIS scanner — permission-rule hygiene
|
|
|
|
Beyond deny/allow overlap, the DIS scanner now also flags:
|
|
|
|
- **Ineffective allow wildcards** — unanchored tool-name globs in `permissions.allow`
|
|
(`*`, `B*`, `mcp__*`) that Claude Code silently skips (auto-approve nothing). Valid
|
|
only as a glob-free `mcp__<server>__*`. New `CA-DIS` finding, severity low.
|
|
- **`Tool(*)` deny-all glob** — treated as equivalent to a bare deny (`Bash(*)` ≡ `Bash`),
|
|
so a bare allow killed by it is correctly reported as dead config.
|
|
|
|
Both predicates live in `scanners/lib/permission-rules.mjs` (shared with the CNF
|
|
conflict-detector). Behavior verified against `code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions`.
|
|
|
|
## Gotchas
|
|
|
|
- Session directories accumulate — use `/config-audit cleanup` to manage
|
|
- Scanners run on Node.js >= 18 (uses node:test, node:fs/promises)
|
|
- Plugin CLAUDE.md files in node_modules should be excluded via scope
