7575| **Manual** | `default` | Claude asks before editing files or running commands. You see a diff and can accept or reject each change. |
7676| **Accept edits** | `acceptEdits` | Claude auto-accepts file edits and common filesystem commands like `mkdir`, `touch`, and `mv`, but still asks before running other terminal commands. Use this when you trust file changes and want faster iteration. |
7777| **Plan** | `plan` | Claude reads files and runs commands to explore, then proposes a plan without editing your source code. Good for complex tasks where you want to review the approach first. |
78| **Auto** | `auto` | Claude executes all actions with background safety checks that verify alignment with your request. Reduces permission prompts while maintaining oversight. Appears when [auto mode is available](#auto-mode-availability); there is no separate Settings toggle for it. |
78| **Auto** | `auto` | Claude runs without routine prompts; before actions such as shell commands and network requests run, a background classifier checks that they align with your request. Appears when [auto mode is available](#auto-mode-availability); there is no separate Settings toggle for it. |
7979| **Bypass permissions** | `bypassPermissions` | Claude runs without permission prompts, except for the [actions no mode auto-approves](/docs/en/permission-modes#actions-no-mode-auto-approves), safety classifiers when Claude [acts on external sites](#browse-external-sites), or desktop actions where Claude always asks first, such as [archiving a session](#work-across-sessions). Equivalent to `--dangerously-skip-permissions` in the CLI. On Pro and Max plans, enable it in your Settings → Claude Code under "Allow bypass permissions mode"; on Team and Enterprise plans there is no Settings toggle, and organization policy controls it instead. Only use this in sandboxed containers or VMs. |

423423Local sessions load your personal skills from `~/.claude/skills/`. An [SSH](#ssh-sessions) session reads `~/.claude/skills/` from the remote host's home directory, not from your machine.

425Local and cloud sessions also load the skills enabled for your claude.ai account. Cloud sessions load them instead of `~/.claude/skills/`, as [Skills in Cowork and cloud sessions](/docs/en/skills#skills-in-cowork-and-cloud-sessions) describes.

431431For local and [SSH](#ssh-sessions) sessions, click the **+** button next to the prompt box and select **Plugins** to see your installed plugins and their skills. To add a plugin, select **Add plugin** from the submenu to open the plugin browser, which shows available plugins from your configured [marketplaces](/docs/en/plugins/overview) including the official Anthropic marketplace. Select **Manage plugins** to enable, disable, or uninstall plugins.

435435The plugin browser is not available in cloud sessions, and plugins you install from the desktop app aren't available for cloud sessions. A cloud session also doesn't install plugins that the repository's `.claude/settings.json` declares, as [What carries over from your setup](/docs/en/cloud-environments#what-carries-over-from-your-setup) explains. Plugins aren't available in WSL sessions. For the full plugin reference including creating your own plugins, see [plugins](/docs/en/plugins/overview).
