Turn on permissions so Claude can build
Last setup step: let Claude Code actually do things — run commands and edit files — without stopping to ask permission on every tiny step. This is what makes the build flow smoothly.
Why this step exists
By default, Claude Code asks “Can I create this file?” or “Can I run this command?” before each action — a safety checkpoint. To build a whole website that gets tedious fast, so you’ll let it work more freely. It’s safe here because of two things you’ve already set up: you’re working in one dedicated folder (nothing important to harm), and Git saves snapshots (you can undo anything).
Turn it on
- Desktop app: near the message box there’s a permission-mode selector. Choose “Auto accept edits” — the beginner-friendly mode that lets Claude make file changes and run common commands without asking each time.
- Terminal: start Claude with the bypass flag so it won’t stop for approvals:
Terminal — start Claude in hands-off mode
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
“Hands-off” mode means Claude acts without asking — which is perfectly fine inside your freshwebsite-revamp folder, where the worst case is “rebuild a page.” Don’t use it in a folder full of important personal files.
You have a Claude plan, Claude Code installed and signed in, Node and Git installed, a dedicated project folder open, and permissions set so Claude can work. The setup — the hardest part of the whole journey — is done. Now the fun begins.
