+# Safe Permissions Configuration
+
+This guide provides a recommended `settings.json` configuration that enables bypass mode for faster development while maintaining safety guardrails to block dangerous commands.
+
+## The Problem
+
+Claude Code's default permission system asks for confirmation on every command, which can slow down development workflows. The `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag removes all safety checks, which is risky.
+
+## Solution: Safe Bypass Mode
+
+Configure bypass mode with a deny list that blocks destructive operations while allowing normal development commands.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Add this to your `~/.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": {
+    "defaultMode": "bypassPermissions",
+    "deny": [
+      "Bash(rm -rf /)",
+      "Bash(rm -rf /*)",
+      "Bash(rm -rf ~)",
+      "Bash(rm -rf $HOME)",
+      "Bash(sudo rm -rf)",
+      "Bash(mkfs)",
+      "Bash(dd if=/dev/zero)",
+      "Bash(dd if=/dev/random)",
+      "Bash(diskutil eraseDisk)",
+      "Bash(diskutil partitionDisk)",
+      "Bash(sudo shutdown)",
+      "Bash(sudo reboot)",
+      "Bash(sudo halt)",

+      "Read(secrets/)",
+      "Read(*credential*)",
+      "Read(*password*)",
+      "Read(*secret*)",
+      "Read(id_rsa)",
+      "Read(id_ed25519)",
+      "Read(*.pem)",
+      "Read(*.key)"
+    ],
+    "allow": [
+      "Bash(ls:*)",
+      "Bash(cat:*)",
+      "Bash(cp:*)",
+      "Bash(mv:*)",
+      "Bash(mkdir:*)",
+      "Bash(touch:*)",
+      "Bash(chmod:*)",
+      "Bash(find:*)",
+      "Bash(git:*)",
+      "Bash(gh:*)",
+      "Bash(npm:*)",
+      "Bash(npx:*)",
+      "Bash(yarn:*)",
+      "Bash(pnpm:*)",
+      "Bash(bun:*)",
+      "Bash(pip:*)",
+      "Bash(cargo:*)",
+      "Bash(python:*)",
+      "Bash(python3:*)",
+      "Bash(node:*)",
+      "Bash(go:*)",

+      "Read:*",
+      "Edit:*",
+      "Write:*",
+      "Glob:*",
+      "Grep:*"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## What This Blocks
+
+| Category | Blocked Commands |
+|----------|------------------|
+| **Destructive deletion** | `rm -rf /`, `rm -rf ~`, `sudo rm -rf` |
+| **Disk operations** | `mkfs`, `dd if=/dev/zero`, `diskutil eraseDisk` |
+| **System control** | `sudo shutdown`, `sudo reboot`, `sudo halt` |
+| **User management** | `sudo passwd`, `sudo adduser`, `sudo deluser` |
+| **Service control** | `launchctl unload`, `systemctl disable` |
+| **Dangerous git** | `git push --force origin main`, `git reset --hard HEAD~` |
+| **Sensitive files** | `.env`, `secrets/`, SSH keys, credentials |
+
+## What This Allows
+
+All standard development commands run without prompts:
+- File operations: `ls`, `cat`, `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir`
+- Git: `git`, `gh` (except force push to main/master)
+- Package managers: `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm`, `bun`, `pip`, `cargo`
+- Languages: `python`, `node`, `go`, `rustc`
+- DevOps: `docker`, `kubectl`, `terraform`, `aws`, `gcloud`
+
+## Toggling Modes
+
+Use **Shift+Tab** to cycle between:
+1. Bypass mode (uses deny list)
+2. Plan-only mode
+3. Default mode (ask every time)
+
+## Important
+
+This is safer than `--dangerously-skip-permissions` because:
+- The deny list still applies in bypass mode
+- Destructive commands are blocked regardless of mode
+- Sensitive file reads are prevented
