19A permission prompt shows what Claude is about to do, followed by your options. This example is the prompt for a Bash command, from a session in Manual mode:

27The third option, **Yes, and switch to auto mode**, [doesn't appear on every prompt](/docs/en/permission-modes#switch-permission-modes).

1929When you choose "Yes, and don't ask again" and the approval saves permanently, such as for a Bash command or a WebFetch domain, Claude Code saves the rule to `.claude/settings.local.json` at the root of the git repository, resolved through [worktrees](/docs/en/worktrees) to the main checkout. The rule applies to future sessions anywhere in that repository, including sessions started in subdirectories and in worktrees. A file-modification approval isn't saved to the file: as the table shows, it lasts until the session ends. In some cases, such as outside a git repository or on Windows, Claude Code doesn't use the repository root; [Where Claude Code looks for each file](/docs/en/settings#where-claude-code-looks-for-each-file) lists those cases and where it saves the rule instead.

2131Before v2.1.211, Claude Code always saved the rule in the starting directory, so an approval granted in a worktree or subdirectory didn't apply to the rest of the repository. Rules that earlier versions saved in a subdirectory or worktree still apply to sessions started there.
