Unclear How the sticker pack is reached, and whether it can be used at all.
What
The Bash tool lets Claude run shell commands. Its built-in instructions already told Claude not to commit files likely to contain secrets, such as .env or credentials.json, and to warn you if you ask it to. In this release, .claude/settings.local.json is now named in that list.
Separately, Claude Code has a sticker pack reply that says "All claimed for now. Thanks for the love."
Why
Your personal local settings file is less likely to end up in a git commit by accident.
