What's Wrong?

Background

Using VS code with with Claude Code extension.

VS Code extension ignores permissions.allow rules in both~/.claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json, and prompts for every Bash call regardless of permission mode ("Edit Automatically" included). No "don't ask again" option in the approval prompt either.

settings.local.json snippet

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(cd *)",
      "Bash(git *)",

Command Claude Code is trying to run:

cd ~/dev/git/lms/moodle/html/local/cert && git diff LMSM-703..LMSM-704 --stat

Environment

Microsoft VS Code:

Version: 1.116.0
Commit: 560a9dba96f961efea7b1612916f89e5d5d4d679

I have $HOME/.claude/skills/mr_summary_table/SKILL.md. Inside that file I have: allowed-tools: Bash(cd * && git diff*), Bash(cd * && git log*), Bash(git diff*), Bash(git log*) VS Code explicitly warns it's unsupported

permissions.allow in ~/.claude/settings.json — ignored. permissions.allow in .claude/settings.local.json — ignored. "Edit Automatically" permission mode — still prompts.

So there's no way to auto-approve Bash calls in the VS Code extension. The allowed-tools skill attribute is the intended mechanism but isn't implemented, and the fallback (permissions.allow) doesn't work either.

What Should Happen?

User should not be prompted whether or not to allow the command. It's already allowed from the settings.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The VS Code extension for Claude Code may require an update or a workaround to properly respect the permissions.allow rules in both ~/.claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json for auto-approving Bash calls.

Guidance

  • Verify that the permissions.allow rules are correctly formatted and match the commands being executed, such as ensuring that the Bash(cd *) rule covers the specific command cd ~/dev/git/lms/moodle/html/local/cert && git diff LMSM-703..LMSM-704 --stat.
  • Check if there are any known issues or updates for the Claude Code VS Code extension that address the ignoring of permissions.allow rules.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or support for the Claude Code extension to report the issue and inquire about potential workarounds or fixes, especially since the allowed-tools skill attribute is mentioned as the intended mechanism but is not implemented.
  • Review the documentation for the Claude Code extension and the Anthropics API to ensure that all settings and configurations are correctly applied and supported.

Notes

The issue seems to stem from the VS Code extension not respecting the permissions.allow rules as expected, and the allowed-tools attribute not being implemented as a fallback. Without further information on the extension's development status or known issues, it's challenging to provide a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the current information, the best course of action seems to be waiting for an update to the Claude Code VS Code extension that properly implements the allowed-tools attribute or respects the permissions.allow rules, or seeking direct support from the developers for a potential temporary workaround.
