I read the description of what this is (nb. maybe move that to the top instead of the middle of the page?), and I don't think I understand what problem it solves. > Reduced interruptions: Automatically handles permission dialogs based on configurable rules Why? Claude Code already gives you the option to accept requests permanently going forward. The cost of configuring rules is worse than the cost of just telling Claude Code "yes and you don't need to ask again". I'd like to see a few motivating user stories, tbh.

> Why? I have a lot of different projects, scenarios, and edge cases where it's helpful to me. I think you will find that if you're interactive mode there will always be some dialogs to dismiss, especially if you're jumping around a lot of different projects, etc. So for me the goals are somewhere at the intersection of the interactive mode and unattended operation. It depends what your goals are for sure. TBH I use it mostly in full yolo mode. But toolsets are much more useful for me. I can create groups of mcps and pre-allowed permissions and reuse that "preset". I have different types of projects that I use different toolsets for each. But yeah, I hear you. This is pretty niche and might solve problems that only I care about.

  Good chance this will ultimately end up being part of a set of training wheels that I'll take off gradually as I am able to move work over to using non-interactive instances of CC.

  I like the notifications part! I may try this just for that one feature.. Thank you.. :-)

    If you like the idea but they aren't working the way you'd like let me know. They aren't very "well baked" but I'll dump some time into improving at some point. If you have pain points or feedback I'll be happy to consider it. BTW, I also intend to add some way to send push notifications of some sort. I need to be reminded when Claude is done hustling and and it's time to leave the comfort of my iced coffee on the patio for a keyboard and glowing terminal screen.

  You may be able to do this with a user-based settings file, so you can have a base layer of settings across all projects. More on how to do that here: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings

Also, good call, I wiggled the readme around a bit. Thanks!

>Why? Claude Code already gives you the option to accept requests permanently going forward. The cost of configuring rules is worse than the cost of just telling Claude Code "yes and you don't need to ask again". want to see this mode fail catastrophically? write enough CLI stuff w/ python w/ powershell or wsl or some other 'leaky' cli. It will eventually fail a command and then try to pipe a shell command through the python interpreter or a specific PS incantation. This means that you now need to approve 'git' , and 'python sh git' and 'powershell.exe git' and 'wsl.exe ubuntu git' as separate and independent commands. (I dont remember the shell incantation command so excuse the pseudocode). That means that for the entire gambit of approvals needed for continued permission for a singular task might be 4x greater than normal -- probably more given that claude is aware of so many different ways to pipe to shell..

  Claude has been adding PYTHONPATH to test commands, and for some reason, the “don’t ask again” doesn’t stick for these types of commands. So I’ve been trying to get it to use make commands, which can modify the environment, and don’t trigger the same permission issues. Just now I finally put it in CLAUDE.md “always use make commands to run tests”. Haven’t seen yet whether it will stick.

    I hate to be pessimistic but this is something that CC doesn't seem good at: forgetting the tools that it loves and using the ones you want it to. You might want to try "disallowing" that command(?) explicitly (in addition to adding to CLAUDE.md and/or prompt). I'm not sure what command is being called to set PYTHONPATH. If my assumption that it relates to a specific command is incorrect the above probably isn't helpful. Good luck!

    haven’t used claude code directly, but at least through copilot ive seen it read my makefile, extract the command, and run it directly after modifications. telling it to use make helped, but wasn’t perfect
