VS Code Extension Ignores Global dangerously-skip-permissions Setting

Open the claude code extension & hit Command+C and run claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

easier tbh

I have that set up as an alias and type ccc to run it in the terminal that's not what the report here is about.

Increase priority for this ticket, since with the newly updated Claude Code VSCode extension, the workaround with Ctrl+C and running 'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' it does not work anymore. I've tried setting an alias in zshrc, but it does not work since extensions are not loading up the shell, I've tried adding this flag to ~/.claude/settings.json, it did not work.

+1 -- Claude Code VSCode extension no way to workaround

Absolutely crap this vscode extension update it's made it not even usable now. Typical of anthropic just gimmicks all the time. Locking up the extension like this so we can even exit it. This is very very bad design

I assume its really a VS Code extension, rather than just running a shell inside the extension as was in a first version

+1 ... horrible update

Have to reverse to 1.0.127 since 2.0.1 have no workaround for dangerously-skip-permissions

Agreed, i did the same and then turned off updates

+1 that's hugely impacted my productivity with CC. Please I provide a work around for adding dangerously-skip-permissions for allowlisted sessions.

This was seriously slowing me down so much i build a patcher to fix the issue.

I'm on mac and same thing, the latest vs code claude code extension update seems to ignore any flavor of https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings

If I so much as open a new chat window, it's back to "Make this edit to [file]?"

👍🏼 Please get this resolved.

Get Claude to edit the extension so that it just uses the terminal with bypass mode. So now when I press Claude icon in vscode it opens the terminal up in the same window of what Claude code would be embedded in vscode and runs it. Much better than their horrible gui extension. Gives you back the cli properly

When this will be fixed?

Solved in 2.0.35

Sadly, the issue is still there time to time, 2.0.50 now. Still asking for permissions time 2 time. Even you select don't ask again in this session, it's still asking

Still not working on v2.1.19 (Cursor). Tried everything:

• ~/.claude/settings.json with "permissions": { "defaultMode": "bypassPermissions" }
• Cursor/VS Code settings: claudeCode.allowDangerouslySkipPermissions: true + claudeCode.initialPermissionMode: "bypassPermissions"
• Enabled both via Settings GUI
• Restarted editor, started new conversations

Still prompts for web search and other non-edit actions. Only file edits can be auto-accepted via the inline "Edit automatically" option.

Mine still reverses from time to time back from BypassPermissions to asking for permission...

any update? it's really annoying to use GSD and having to click to accept every single prompt

I'm still experiencing this error with VS Code. All bypass permissions are selected and the mode property changed, but still getting prompted for approvals. Any work around without switching to a different terminal or software?

Any solution here? 👀

@AAChartModel VSCode extension now has auto mode and bypass permissions. Bypass permissions is the same as terminal --dangerously-skip-permissions.

@cidoliveira Thanks, it works for me now!
