- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
There is no option to save the approved permission directly to the global user settings (~/.claude/settings.json). This means:
- Users who work across multiple repositories with similar needs have to approve the same permissions repeatedly per-project
- Permissions end up saved in local
.claude/directories inside projects, which may be undesirable (e.g., in git repositories where.claude/should not exist) - Users must manually edit
~/.claude/settings.jsonto consolidate permissions and delete local claude settings file, or always write to claude to do it
Proposed Solution
Add a "Allow and save to global settings" option (or similar) in the permission approval prompt, alongside the existing options. This would write the permission rule directly to ~/.claude/settings.json instead of the local project settings.
