This didn't solve my current Claude pet peeve like I hoped it would. Claude keeps asking for permissions for various pipelined grep and find incantations that are safe but not safe in the general sense and thus it needs to ask.

This is a Claude problem, it has lots of safe ways to explore the project tree, and should be using those instead. Obviously its devs and most people have just over-permissioned Claude so they don't fix the problem.



which commands specifically? would be great to see examples

nah classifies piped grep/find as filesystem_read which flows through silently:

'find . -name '*.py' | grep utils' or 'grep -r'import' src/ | head -20' both resolve to allow with no prompt.

Would be curious which incantations are tripping you up, maybe it's something we can solve.
