Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

+| `--permission-mode`                             | Begin in a specified [permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes). Accepts `default`, `acceptEdits`, `plan`, `auto`, `dontAsk`, `bypassPermissions`, or `manual` as an alias for `default`. The `manual` alias selects the permission mode the UI labels Manual and requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later; `claude --help` lists it in place of `default`, and both values work. Overrides `defaultMode` from settings files. Without this flag or `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, a new session starts in the permission mode described in [which permission mode a session starts in](/docs/en/permission-modes#which-mode-a-session-starts-in).

 | `--permission-prompt-tool`                      | Specify an MCP tool to handle permission prompts in non-interactive mode. Claude Code waits for that tool's MCP server to connect before running the first turn, up to the [`MCP_TIMEOUT`](/docs/en/env-vars) startup timeout, 30 seconds by default. <br /><br />The prompt tool can't approve an MCP tool marked as [requiring user interaction](/docs/en/mcp#require-approval-for-a-specific-tool): Claude Code converts an `allow` result for one to a deny. This restriction requires Claude Code v2.1.199 or later                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | `claude -p --permission-prompt-tool mcp_auth_tool "query"`                                          |
 | `--plugin-dir`                                  | Load a plugin from a directory or `.zip` archive for this session only. Each flag takes one path. Repeat the flag for multiple plugins: `--plugin-dir A --plugin-dir B.zip`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              | `claude --plugin-dir ./my-plugin`                                                                   |
