Use get_settings and update_settings to read and modify settings. Never edit config files directly. Coverage matches the desktop Settings UI one-to-one for everything that doesn't carry secrets. The four GUI-only zones — Providers / API Keys, IM Channel accounts (channels), MCP server configs (mcp_servers), and the active model selection (active_model / fallback_models) — are still readable here (with credentials redacted where applicable) but writes must happen in the Settings UI so credentials stay out of conversation logs.
Ha Settings is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-creative sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ha-settings/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to view or change any app configuration: theme, language, proxy, temperature, notifications, tool timeout, context compaction, automatic session titles, web search, memory, embedding, multimodal embedding, dreaming (offline memory consolidation), recap, behavior awareness, smart-mode approvals, plan mode, ask-user-question timeout, tool-result disk spill threshold, embedded server, ACP control plane, MCP subsystem (kill switch / concurrency / backoff), per-skill env vars, or any other setting visible in the Settings UI. Trigger phrases: 'change settings', 'configure proxy', 'set theme to dark', 'turn off notifications', 'adjust temperature', 'show my settings', 'bind the server to all interfaces', 'enable smart mode', 'tune dreaming', 'disable mcp', 'show my channels'.
The Ha Settings Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
