What's Wrong?
I created a SKILL.md file with the following header:
allowed-tools:
- Read(~/vault/*)
- Write(~/vault/*)
- Edit(~/vault/*)
- Bash(pgrep *)
- Bash(obsidian open *)
Claude Code correctly invoked the pgrep tool without asking, but it still asked for permission to run obsidian open. The situation remained the same even after I changed it to Bash(obsidian *) only.
The actual commands invoked by Claude:
Bash(pgrep -x obsidian; echo "exit: $?")
Bash(obsidian open path="mydir/myfile.md" newtab)
What Should Happen?
Claude should run the allowed tool without asking.
