Common Mistakes

Config File Precedence

1. Managed (system-wide)
2. Command line arguments
3. Local project settings .claude/settings.local.json
4. Shared project settings .claude/settings.json, .mcp.json
5. User global settings ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json

Why not use a sub-agent?

Sub-agent responses require paraphrasing, which may cause information loss. Fetch the docs yourself for more direct and accurate information.
