Unclear What triggers each writer (e.g. a specific command or automatic behavior) is not stated in the finding.

What

  • Three new hidden claude subcommands were added: edit-skill-overrides, edit-sandbox-settings, and edit-chrome-settings, each reading one JSON edit from stdin.
  • They dispatch to new validated settings-write functions: one for per-skill invocation state (on, name-only, user-invocable-only, off, plus handles like unqualified name, aliases, and a bare-name-reserved flag), one for sandbox mode (auto-allow, regular, disabled, plus allowUnsandboxedCommands/excludeCommand), and one for the Claude-in-Chrome default-enabled toggle (claudeInChromeDefaultEnabled).
  • Each write function validates its input with zod, checks for policy/plugin/author locks, and writes to local settings.

Why

This gives the VS Code extension (and other callers) a supported, validated way to change skill, sandbox, and Claude-in-Chrome settings from the command line instead of writing to settings files directly.
