## Permission Modes

Claude Code supports 6 permission modes that control how tool use is authorized.

| Mode | Description | When to Use |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| `manual` | Prompt for each tool call | Standard interactive use (renamed from `default` in v2.1.200; `default` still accepted) |
| `acceptEdits` | Auto-accept file edits, prompt for others | Trusted editing workflows |
| `plan` | Read-only tools only, no writes | Planning and exploration |
| `auto` | All actions, with background safety classifier checks | Long tasks, reducing prompt fatigue |
| `bypassPermissions` | Skip all permission checks | CI/CD, headless environments |
| `dontAsk` | Skip tools that would require permission | Non-interactive scripting |

> **Note**: `auto` mode requires an eligible plan, model, and provider — see [09-advanced-features/](09-advanced-features/#auto-mode). Use `bypassPermissions` only in trusted, sandboxed environments.

**Reference**: [Official Docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions)

---

## Subagents

Specialized AI assistants with isolated contexts for specific tasks.

> **Nested spawning is on by default, depth 3 (v2.1.219)**: Subagents can spawn their own subagents up to three layers below the main conversation. Set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to change the limit, or `1` to disable nesting. (History: v2.1.172–v2.1.216 nested by default up to 5 layers with no way to change it; v2.1.217 made nesting opt-in at depth 1; v2.1.219 set the default to 3.) See [04-subagents/README.md](04-subagents/README.md#restrict-spawnable-subagents) for the `Agent(agent_type)` syntax that restricts which subagents a given subagent may spawn.
