Claude Code --dangerously-skip-permissions

🎯 What We Accomplished

🛠 Technical Walk-through

1. Sandboxed OSX account

Because we're running AI agents fairly autonomously, we've mitigated the risk of them accessing anything that's not code related by using a separate sandboxed OSX account that we can easily throw away when the robots go rogue.

2. Claude Code, YOLO mode

Now we are no longer concerned about security, we unleash Claude Code to whir in all it's glory using --dangerously-skip-permissions, unblocking it from asking for permission every time it wants to wipe it's nose:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

3. CLAUDE.md guidelines

For the time being, LLM's seem to operate more efficiently with a little guidance, here's a CLAUDE.md example that was used in the working directory for this session.

### Playwright

If I point you towards a url, you can use playwright to visit the url and infer context

If you want to use playwright, you can do so from the home dir as follows:
`cd ~; npx playwright`

If you want to write temporary scripts (eg. to use playwright to do stuff), do so in:
`~/tmp`

and when doing so, create a permanent folder and put everything in there eg.
`~/tmp/2025-07-28-playwright-seo-investigation/`

ie. don't create files or projects outside of ~/tmp for experimental or temporary stuff or this folder if it's a proposed change to the source code of this project

4. Claude Prompt

We started by creating a new Rails 8 project with the --skip-test flag to allow for RSpec integration:

Create a new rails project called insidertrades.directory in ~/workspace and using playwright, confirm it's working in a browser (without using headless mode). btw, I prefer rspec as my testing library. Record this in a markdown file in ~/tmp that can be used for a blog post. commit to git.
