What

/permissions (and its allowed-tools alias), which manages allow and deny tool permission rules, now dispatches to its dialog on submit instead of waiting its turn in the message queue.

Details
  • Unconditional for /permissions.
  • The generated "this moved to /config" alias commands got the same immediate flag, but as a getter checked at read time: it is on only when the gate tengu_immediate_model_command (fallback false) is on and the terminal supports flicker-free rendering.

tengu_immediate_model_command Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Run Claude Code programmatically touched a line naming /permissions after this was published. * **`dontAsk`**: Claude Code denies every call that would otherwise prompt, which is useful for locked-down CI runs. Actions that need no approval in Manual mode still run, such as file reads in your working directories and the [read-only … headless see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /permissions, on Permissions. url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/compliance/organizations/roles/permissions api/compliance/organizations/roles/permissions see the edit
What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns on for tengu_immediate_model_command, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
