Problem Statement

Once a user grants "approve for entire session" permission, there is currently no way to revoke it without ending the session entirely.

Proposed Solution

Add a mechanism to reset/revoke session-wide approval mid-session, so that Claude resumes asking for confirmation before executing tools. This could be exposed as:

  • A slash command (e.g. /permissions reset)
  • A keyboard shortcut to cycle back to the default (ask) mode
  • An explicit option in the permission prompt UI

Use Case Example

A user may grant session-wide approval for a focused task (e.g. a large refactor), then want to restore confirmation prompts before moving on to a different, more sensitive part of the codebase — without having to restart the
session and lose the conversation context.
