Dramatically Improve Development Efficiency with Claude Code Permissions


Have you ever felt frustrated by the "Are you sure you want to run this command?" confirmation when using Claude Code?

You can actually set permissions in advance in the ~/.claude/settings.json file to run frequently used commands without confirmation.


How to Configure

1. Create/Edit settings.json File

bash
# Create directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.claude

# Edit settings.json
code ~/.claude/settings.json


2. Basic Configuration Example

json
{
  "model": "opus",
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(git:*)",
      "Bash(ls:*)",
      "Bash(npm:*)",
      "WebFetch(domain:github.com)"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}


Recommended Permission Settings

Commonly Used Development Commands

json
{
  "model": "opus",

      "Bash(cat:*)",
      "Bash(pwd:*)",
      "Bash(cd:*)",
      
      // Search Tools
      "Bash(find:*)",
      "Bash(grep:*)",
      "Bash(rg:*)",     // ripgrep (fast search)
      
      // Development Tools
      "Bash(npm:*)",
      "Bash(node:*)",
      "Bash(python:*)",
      "Bash(make:*)",

      "Bash(curl:*)",   // API communication
      "Bash(echo:*)",   // Output verification
      
      // Deployment Related
      "Bash(vercel:*)", // Vercel CLI
      "Bash(gh:*)",     // GitHub CLI
      
      // Web References
      "WebFetch(domain:github.com)",
      "WebFetch(domain:vercel.com)",
      "WebFetch(domain:docs.anthropic.com)",
      "WebFetch(domain:stackoverflow.com)",
      "WebFetch(domain:developer.mozilla.org)",
      "WebFetch(domain:npmjs.com)",
      "WebFetch(domain:nextjs.org)"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}


Benefits of Permission Settings

1. Improved Development Speed

  • No confirmation dialogs appear
  • Uninterrupted flow of thought
  • Execute multiple commands consecutively


2. Ensured Security

  • Only permitted commands can be executed
  • Dangerous commands explicitly excluded
  • Configurable per project


3. Improved Work Efficiency

  • Preset frequently used commands
  • Share settings within teams
  • Cleaner work logs


Configuration Tips

Using Wildcards (*)

json
"Bash(git:*)"     // Allow all git subcommands
"Bash(git:add)"   // Allow only git add
"Bash(git:add,commit)" // Allow only git add and commit


Domain Specification Examples

json
"WebFetch(domain:*.github.com)"  // All GitHub subdomains
"WebFetch(domain:api.github.com)" // Specific subdomain only


Important Notes

  1. Consider Security
    2. - Avoid destructive commands like rm -rf - Be careful when executing in production environments
  1. Add Gradually
    2. - Start with basic commands - Add more as needed
  1. For Team Development
    2. - Use team-agreed settings - Separate settings per project


Summary


Permission settings in ~/.claude/settings.json greatly enhance the Claude Code development experience. By pre-authorizing frequently used commands, you can eliminate confirmation prompts and achieve a smooth development flow.

Start configuring now and get a more comfortable development environment!
