If something doesn't look right
I can't find Settings
Settings is the last item in the list that opens from the round AI Toolbox button. The button shows on the new chat page, in open chats and on the Artifacts page, not in Claude's own Settings pages.

The free plan includes the first 2 colors, blue and green. The other 6 are part of Premium.
Manage Prompts and Prompt Library disappeared
Prompt tools is switched off. Open Settings, find Prompts, and switch Prompt tools on again.
Do these settings change Claude's own settings?
No. AI Toolbox settings only change AI Toolbox. Your Claude account settings, profile and projects stay as they are.
Free and Premium
All settings are free. The free plan includes 2 of the 8 accent colors (blue and green). Premium unlocks all 8.
- Every setting is free except accent colors: 2 free, all 8 on Premium.
- Language and prompt settings apply on every platform where you use AI Toolbox. The accent color is set for Claude on its own.
- Clear Cache & Re-sync only rebuilds the chat copy on this computer. It never deletes Claude chats.
What Claude does on its own
Claude has its own settings for how Claude works with you, such as profile preferences that apply to all chats and instructions for each project on paid plans.
AI Toolbox settings are separate. They only control the extension's own tools on claude.ai and never change your Claude account.
