What it does
The repository of Trail of Bits, a company known for security work, gathers its default Claude Code setup: a sandbox, permissions, hooks, skills, MCP servers and working practices, with documentation. It targets macOS: the Ghostty terminal and a set of utilities through Homebrew, and the README has caveats for Linux and Windows. This is a guide and a configuration to take what you need from for your own system, rather than a package installed with one command. No license is stated in the repository.
Who it is for. For developers and teams who work with Claude Code and want to take a security-tested settings scheme as a base: permissions, a sandbox and hooks.
Good fit when
- You need to set up Claude Code with thought-through permissions and a sandbox
- You need examples of hooks and skills for safe agent work
- You need recommendations on how to organize work with MCP servers
Not a fit when
- You need a ready package with a one-command install: this is a guide
- You need a clear license: none is stated in the repository
Example request
Compare my Claude Code settings with the Trail of Bits recommendations and show which permissions and hooks to add firstLimitations
These are one company's recommendations aimed at macOS, so take them for your own system and verify. No license is stated in the repository, so rights to the code are not granted by default. The configuration changes Claude Code settings, permissions and hooks, so access is extended: apply changes deliberately and one at a time. The repository was last updated on 24.08.2026.
How to disable. Return the Claude Code settings to the previous ones (the settings.json file and the hooks directory) and delete the copied skills.
