Opening this to brainstorm.
Problem
Claude Code in the terminal prompts for permission on commands that feel esoteric or low-risk in context — compound commands (a && b), piped bash, flag variations, and shell idioms that the user has effectively already approved in spirit. Each new variant re-prompts, which breaks flow.
Ask
A skill or setting that lets the user mark certain classes of commands as "don't ask" — for example:
- a broader allowlist pattern language (globs/regex over full command strings, not just the binary)
- a "trust compound forms of already-allowed tools" mode
- a skill the user can invoke to teach Claude which shapes are safe for this project
Open questions for discussion
- How to keep this safe (scope to project? session? expire?)
- Should it live in
settings.jsonpermissions, or as a dedicated skill? - How to handle compound commands where one half is allowed and the other isn't?
- Can Claude learn from prior approvals in a session without a config change?
