How to use Claude Code dangerous skip permissions

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Step

   Move to a clean Git branch

   Before using dangerous skip permissions, create a branch or disposable copy so every change can be reviewed or discarded.

   git checkout -b claude-danger-lab && git status --short

2. 2

   Step

   Write the exact scope

   The flag removes permission prompts, so the prompt must carry the guardrails: files, commands, and stop conditions.

   claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "Only update docs/tutorial.md. Do not edit package files."

3. 3

   Step

   Run verification immediately

   Do not wait until later. Run the smallest relevant test or linter right after the permissionless change.

   git diff -- docs/tutorial.md
   npm test -- --runInBand

4. 4

   Step

   Revert or commit deliberately

   Dangerous mode should end with a conscious decision: commit reviewed changes or revert them completely.

   git status --short
   git add docs/tutorial.md && git commit -m "Update tutorial docs"
