This current thread is proof of AI psychosis.

--dangerously-skip-permissions is the only way to fly. Of course your environment needs to be properly containerized and autobackup set up, so even rm -rf from your harness would do nothing. Life is too short to spend on replying to permissions requests.

Scope Violation: `cat ~/.zshrc`

Scope Violation: `ls ~/Documents`

Buddy, my `${HOME}` is committed to a repository. It includes `.bashrc` and `Documents` directory. These are not scope violations if I'm having the LLM work on them!

Permissions don't do much. They won't save you. You can just skip them completely.

If you are afraid that AI can delete something do what you'd do with potentially malicious user. Sandbox, don't give permission, setup remote backups and so on.

Also (unless prompt injected) models are not eager to start going rouge on your stuff.

But keep in mind a saying “Children don’t hear prohibitions — they hear suggestions.”

Same thing goes for LLMs. Never talk with LLM about deleting stuff. Archiving, moving, retaining elswhere... sure, but never about actually destructive operations. Don't use destructive language.

"Auto" in Claude and "Auto-review" in Codex are the only way to do agentic coding.

I haven't run claude code without --dangerously-skip-permissions in quite some time. I'm surprised that it's still the norm to endure permission spamming?

(I run it on a VPS of course, not my laptop)

that was soooo last month, “auto-mode” is the way now

another agent reviews every command and blocks destructive ones

Score is 6711 by just saying no to everything
