4747| You want to | Start with | Isolation needed | Notes |
4848| :- | :- | :- | :- |
4949| Review every action yourself | Manual mode: `claude --permission-mode default` | None | Sensitive work, unfamiliar code |
50| Iterate locally with fewer prompts, without a classifier | Manual mode plus the Bash sandbox in [auto-allow mode](/docs/en/sandboxing#sandbox-modes): `claude --permission-mode default`, then run `/sandbox` and select auto-allow | The built-in Bash sandbox, on macOS, Linux, and WSL2 | Deny rules still apply, and ask rules that name a command, such as `Bash(git push *)`, still prompt. To turn the sandbox on from a settings file instead, set [`sandbox.enabled`](/docs/en/settings-reference#sandbox-enabled) to `true` |

5151| Explore before changing anything | `claude --permission-mode plan` | None | Claude Code blocks edits until you [approve a plan](#review-and-approve-a-plan) |
5252| Work hands-off in auto mode | `claude --permission-mode auto`, the [built-in starting permission mode](#which-mode-a-session-starts-in) with v2.1.283 or later | None; a sandbox or container adds defense in depth | Requires a [supported model](#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode), and your organization can [turn auto mode off](#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode) |
5353| Run in CI with an exact allowlist | `claude -p "run the test suite" --permission-mode dontAsk --allowedTools "Bash(npm test)" "Read"` | None beyond what your CI runner provides | [Cloud sessions](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web) ignore `dontAsk` from settings files |
