Security Corner

Tame Permission Prompts with settings.json

Claude asking if it’s okay too much?

Ask it to help you with your settings.json

🛡

What You Control

permissions.allow/deny — what Claude does without asking
defaultMode — default, acceptEdits, or plan
env — inject AWS region, Node env, proxy

📋

Three Layers

~/.claude/settings.json — your global defaults
.claude/settings.json — per-project rules (commit it)
.claude/settings.local.json — personal overrides

Quick Wins

/update-config — describe what you want in plain English
/fewer-permission-prompts — Claude reads your history and suggests the right allow rules

Your Toolkit

allyai

Checks that your graph actually compiles, your edges go somewhere real, and your model integration won’t blow up in production. Scaffolds new tools with tests so you don’t ship untested code. Includes 12 labs if you want to learn LangGraph properly.

GenAI Platform & Enablement — Adric Saxon • v0.3.0

allyai + forge

Everything above, plus forge handles the rest of your workflow. You describe a feature, it plans, implements, then throws 14 reviewers at your diff—none of whom have seen your code before. They find the stuff you stopped noticing three commits ago.

Today's Topic

From Claude Code Skill
to LangGraph Agent

You built a skill that works great in Claude Code — now what? Adric Saxon walks us through the full journey of taking an interactive skill and turning it into a fully autonomous, productionized agent on the Ally AI Platform.

📝

Start with a Skill

Claude Code skills are great for prototyping logic — they give you fast iteration, tool access, and a human in the loop. But they require a developer at the keyboard.

🔄

Extract & Formalize

Identify the decision graph inside your skill. Map prompts to nodes, tool calls to edges, and human checkpoints to conditional branches — this is your LangGraph blueprint.

🚀

Deploy & Scale

Package the agent for the Ally AI Platform. Add observability, error recovery, and scheduling — now it runs autonomously without anyone at the keyboard.
