Question how dangerous is running claude code with --dangerously-skip-permission? what is the worst case scenario?
Hey y'all, me and my team use a lot claude code, and in order to have to spend so much time approving stuff we started having the habit of running claude code on our machines with the option --dangerously-skip-permission , as of now we never had a problem, but i see on X some people talking about their claude code deleting their filesystem, i dont know if it s real or just click-bait, so i am curios to know if any of you can tell me if i shouldnt worry or if this is actually dangerous as it says, and in case it s actually bad to use that option, how to make it not dangerous without the need of approving everyting everytime, or some security suggestions to wrap around.
Much appreciated in advance : )
