Problem: The AI Is About to Act — Who's Watching?

Claude Code can execute operations directly on your computer — editing files, running commands, deleting code. This means it has the capacity to cause real harm: deleting the wrong file, leaking a password, executing a dangerous command.

The permissions and security mechanism solves a core problem:

Finding the balance between "AI does the work for you" and "AI can't just do anything."

This balance isn't fixed. Different scenarios need different strategies:

  • New users on first use: confirm every step to prevent accidents
  • Power users running batch tasks: don't want frequent interruptions
  • Enterprise environments: admin-managed controls that users can't override

So this system is designed to be configurable, layered, and dynamically switchable.
