name: cowork-permissions-settings-wizard description: Ask Claude to add the common safe permissions to settings.json (read, tests, git ops, dev server) and gate the risky stuff (installs, deletes, network calls).

Cowork Permissions Settings Wizard

What This Does

The creator explains the -dangerously-skip-permissions flag is a trap and shows the middle path: use /permissions or edit settings.json to allow safe actions (read, run tests, start dev server, git ops) while forcing approval for installs, deletes, and outbound API calls.

What You Get

• Auto-generated allow list
• deny list for risky commands (rm, deletes)
• git-committed settings.json for team sync
• /permissions helper prompt
• environment file protection (.env in deny)

Customize

• allow_read: read files freely
• allow_tests: run tests without approval
• allow_git: commit, push, branch
• deny_paths: env, secrets, credentials folders
• ask_on_network: force approval on outbound calls

Sample Output

settings.json contains a bash-read allow list plus a deny list for env files and rm-rf, letting Claude work fast without deleting production.

Target Audience

Any developer working with Claude Code who wants safe autopilot
