Claude Code

Options and boundaries

Default: claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format text "<prompt>" from the target directory; model omitted; parent wait 15m. Calling this skill authorizes that run: pass --dangerously-skip-permissions without asking. There is no --yolo flag; this skip is the yolo run. Print alone can write. "Read-only" / "plan" uses --permission-mode plan and omits the skip flag. "Use " adds --model. "Interactive" / "TUI" omits --print and the skip flag. "Resume " adds --resume; "continue" adds --continue; both wait until exit and keep the same permission choice as the selected mode. "Worktree [name]" adds --worktree [name]; record the emitted path. "JSON" / "stream-json" selects that print output. Missing needed values or conflicting options are BLOCKED.

For plan, restricted, or another named permission mode, follow references/permissions.md. A default run does not stop for a permission prompt. claude help starts a session: use claude --help. remote-control is not documentation.

1. Resolve

Fix absolute workspace, prompt, mode, session, worktree, output, and wait. Check binary and claude auth status --text without exposing secrets. Missing binary → follow references/install.md; missing auth → BLOCKED unless login was requested. Wrong cwd blocks. Record cmd | workspace | mode | session | worktree | wait | evidence | terminal. Done when target, binary, auth, and the permission choice are fixed.

2. Run

Build argv from those options and quote the prompt literally. Default text is quiet until process exit; silence is not a hang. Wait for exit or the recorded deadline, and kill only this run's PID when that deadline expires. Nonzero exit: capture stderr, inspect the tree, and report BLOCKED. Do not ask the user and do not add a second bypass.

For JSON/stream output, follow references/streaming.md. For resume, continue, or background sessions, follow references/sessions.md. For worktrees or parallel runs, follow references/worktrees.md. For an asked-for TUI or management command, follow references/management.md. A rejected flag requires scoped --help, not a guessed replacement. Done when the process exits, an intended live handle is recorded, or a failure is reported.

3. Verify and report

Inspect status and diff; CLI text is not proof. Run the narrowest covering tests for edited executable code. Plan mode must leave the tree unchanged. Verify each worktree and any integrated tree. Clean up only this run's sessions/worktrees unless explicitly kept; preserve auth, MCP, and plugins. Report command, mode, session/worktree, wait, and outcome evidence. Done when every requested outcome is observed or a blocker is evidenced.

Terminals: SUCCESS, NO_CHANGES, BLOCKED.
