Preflight Checklist

[x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
[x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

I want to be able to run Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions but ONLY for allowed and unknown permissions. I want CC to continue respecting my permissions.deny settings.

The rationale is that I know what is of utmost danger to my machine, and I've already put those commands under permissions.deny.

Proposed Solution

Provide another mode that respects permissions.deny but which ignores all other commands.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

This is exactly how I wish dangeously-skip worked. Stay away from git push, you slippery snake!

Claude is deleting people's home directories.

Can you please implement this feature, Anthropic? 🙏

I agree, this is how I'd like dangerously-skip-permissions to work too!

You can combine --dangerously-skip-permissions with --disallowedTools:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --disallowedTools 'Bash(git push:*),Bash(git reset:*),Bash(git checkout:*),Bash(git branch -d:*),Bash(git branch -D:*),Bash(git stash:*),Bash(rm:*),Bash(mv:*),Bash(cp:*),Bash(chmod:*),Bash(chown:*),Bash(sudo:*),Bash(gh pr create:*),Bash(gh pr merge:*),Bash(gh pr close:*),Bash(gh issue create:*),Bash(gh issue close:*),Bash(gh repo:*)'

[!WARNING] This list is not exhaustive. But it's safer than claude --dangerously-skip-permissions.

Alas, once you call claude like this, you cannot give it permission to call any of the disallowed tools. I wish this were possible:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --requirePermissionsFor 'Bash(git push:*)' # Currently not supported

It currenly works that way. You just set ~/.claude/settings.json -> permissions.deny: [ "Bash(rm: *)" ]
