## Description

View or change project config, effective merged values, or set locally in project.local.yaml.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# /settings, view or change project config

Manages `project.yaml` (team-wide config, committed) and `project.local.yaml`
(per-developer overrides, gitignored). Use this skill to inspect current
settings or change them without manually editing YAML.

**Automation mode**: Resolve `modes.automation` (`project.local.yaml` →
`project.yaml` → default `collaborative`). The approval gates in Phase 4 and
Phase 5 follow the pattern in `.claude/docs/automation-modes.md`. **Note**:
writing to `project.yaml` is a `schema_changes` decision (a default
`automation_always_ask` category), so `/settings` confirms config writes even
in `autonomous` mode unless the user has removed `schema_changes` from their
always-ask list.

## Phase 0: Parse Arguments

Determine which of the four forms the user invoked:

| Form | Mode |
|------|------|
| `/settings` (no args) | **View-all** (Phase 2) |
| `/settings <key>` (single arg, no `=`) | **View-one** (Phase 3) |
| `/settings <key>=<value>` (single arg with `=`) | **Set-yaml** (Phase 4) |
| `/settings --local <key>=<value>` (`--local` prefix) | **Set-local** (Phase 5) |

For Set-yaml and Set-local, `<key>` is a dotted YAML path (e.g.
`modes.review_mode`, `testing.strict.logic`) and `<value>` is the new value.

**Empty-operand validation:** After splitting the `key=value` operand on
`=`, if either `<key>` or `<value>` is empty, this is malformed, route to
Phase 6 (usage) rather than attempting the write. The rule applies in both
Set-yaml and Set-local routing: for `--local`, strip the `--local` token
first, then check the remaining operand the same way (so `/settings --local =foo`
and `/settings --local key=` both go to Phase 6).

Anything else that doesn't match the four forms above → Phase 6 (usage).

## Phase 1: Load Helper

All four subcommands need `yaml-helper.sh`. Run each helper call as its own
plain command:

```bash
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" <helper call>
```
