Permission Modes

Claude Code features several permission modes that define the balance between autonomy and safety during your session, ranging from Plan mode, which restricts Claude to a read-only state for exploration and strategy without any tool execution, to BypassPermissions mode (often called "YOLO mode"), which grants the AI full autonomy to run any command or edit any file without interruption.
