This affects:\n\n- finding your personal skills and agents\n\n- reading policy settings\n\n- matching skill paths\n\n- rules about linked copies of files\n\n- the shortcuts that let Claude Code read your user-level files without asking\n\n- the rule that allows reading the project's temporary folder\n\nIn the same case, any request to write a file is answered straight away with \"you haven't granted it yet\", so it needs your approval.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis probably makes runs without a local disk, or runs on a remote machine, safer, with the result that file writes there always need approval.\n\n- Area: Restricted Mode\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
