How to open Claude Code in VS Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions?

I'm on WSL2, I created the alias inside ~/.baschrc

alias clauded="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions"


When I run "clauded", it runs with --dangerously-skip-permissions enabled.

Thanks, but what I mean is to open it in a vs code tab page.

@hqman you can alias a new CLI command with the flag then update exec command of the extension.

1. Alias a new command to "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions"

1. Open ~/.vscode/extensions/anthropic.claude-code-xxx (or %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\anthropic.claude-code-xxx if you are on Windows) and search for executeCommand("claude"). Replace your command here.

1. Restart the window or disable/re-enable the ext

Interestingly enough, something removes this from my ~/.zshrc which I assume is Claude Code itself, but wasn't able to locate how/where, just yet.

alias claude="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" 

Even easier, one-liner for unix type systems.

echo "$(jq '.permissions.defaultMode = "bypassPermissions"' ~/.claude/settings.json)" > ~/.claude/settings.json

That's work!

Doesn't work for me with v2.0.1

How do I do it in v2.0.1 VS Code extension?

Edit .vscode/settings.json to

{

    "claude-code.environmentVariables": [],
    "claude-code.dangerously": true

}

Worked for me.

i beg for a solution to cursor ide claude code extension bypass permission solution

In the meantime, I have been using this extension which supports bypass natively: https://github.com/andrepimenta/claude-code-chat

Thank you boss 🙏

Anthropic devs, another fat +1 for this simple feature that should clearly have been included from the start.

Interestingly enough, something removes this from my ~/.zshrc which I assume is Claude Code itself, but wasn't able to locate how/where, just yet. `` alias claude="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" ``

claude code edits your ~/.zshrc .
It's INSANE.

But this works for now:

alias 'claude'='claude --dangerously-skip-permissions'

however it will not help with your claude extension in vscode/cursor, as none of the above suggestions will, io just stopped using it at this point as it asks like for some permission every 3 seconds, its useless at this point, just use the terminal for now.

I'd love the fix asap as well. Dagenrously skip permissions has been a game changer. Sticking with the terminal version for now.

In the new claude ui the settings.local doesnt work:
{
"permissions": {
"defaultMode": "bypassPermissions",
"allow": [
"*"
],
"deny": [],
"ask": []
}
}

and hes still asking for every bash command oO

I figured out a way. May not be the best but it works for me for the time being, until they add an easy way to just toggle this.
This is on MacOS but I'm sure something similar may work if you are on a different OS

In your vscode settings: "claude-code.claudeProcessWrapper": "/Users/username/claude-dangerous",

/Users/username/claude-dangerous.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Just use VS Code's bundled binary directly with dangerous permissions
exec "$1" --dangerously-skip-permissions "${@:2}"

@claude how do i do this in mac vs code claudecode extension

If you want this across the board, on MacOS you can open ~/.claude/settings.json and add

"permissions": {
    "defaultMode": "bypassPermissions"
  }

This will also make any instance you open directly from the terminal bypassPermissions mode by default so not just the extension.

This also doesn't fix the Native UI, just the TUI.

This worked for me on Mac as well, thanks! The weird part is if I switch it out of Ask before edits it starts asking again, even if I switch back. If I keep it in Ask before edits it does not ask for any edits or commands!

I don't even want to live that dangerously, I just want the Claude Code extension in Cursor to remember my damn "Yes and don't ask again".. ever since v2.0 it's asking me. Every. Single. Damn. Time. Really reduces the whole usefulness of having an AI assisted code workflow in the first place

Good news everyone. Claude code extension for Cursor/VS Code has this config:

And it's worked!

Might need if you are a root user inside docker!

    "claudeCode.environmentVariables": [
        {
            "name": "IS_SANDBOX",
            "value": "1"
        }
    ]

for it to work

Thank you. I honestly dont see a need to use the terminal version anymore. in the beginning, the extension was so buggy, plus couldnt bypass permissions. but now its lit.

While this is great, it is a big hassle to manually set it to bypass permissions everytime, how can we set that as the default mode in the native ui?

@hackyon-anthropic

Is this issue not a duplicate of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8539 ?

Thanks @jimmy927

Yup, this is now supported in the VSCode extension! Please see https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8539#issuecomment-3506636641 for how to set it up
