I am mostly using OpenCode and barely ever see a permission prompt. While they do enforce it for outside workspace read/write, with the bash tool the agent can just bypass that. I'm not quite sure why it is that way, and it certainly isn't a very good solution, but likely not worse than asking for everything which just trains the user to always accept and provides a false sense of security then.

Use this and save yourself: claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

I got tired of typing that and just do

    alias claude="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions"
I do have a separate "claude" user on my system without sudo access and without access to my main user home dir

And yeah I know that's not perfect but I'm trying to get shit done

I vibe coded a TUI that just shows running lxd containers

I hit 'n' to toggle all network access minus anthropic and openai URLs.

I use pi (sometimes claude, always on bypass) and I auto allow everything. I only toggle manual approval in rare cases like running a script or command that needs to touch a production system and I need to validate everything.

Normally my container has full write access to staging so it can debug and validate everything on its own

Thanks all for checking it out and your suggestions!

If anyone is curious about the actual underlying risks and problems with some mitigations (like the 17% false-negative rates of Auto Mode), I wrote up a quick summary of some of the approaches here
