| description | Check whether the current Claude session was launched with --dangerously-skip-permissions. Run `ps aux`, find the claude process, and report yes/no via the command's exit code. |
Run this shell command and read its exit (return) code — do not parse its stdout:
! ps aux | grep -q "[c]laude.*dangerously-skip-permissions"
The command intentionally produces no output; the assessment is driven entirely by the exit code:
- Exit code
0 → bypass permissions is OFF (the session was not launched with --dangerously-skip-permissions).
- Exit code
1 → bypass permissions is ON (the session was launched with --dangerously-skip-permissions).
Why the exit code rather than the output: output filters/proxies in the user's shell (e.g. RTK token compression) can rewrite or strip stdout, which would corrupt an output-based check. The exit code is unaffected, so it is the single source of truth. The grep -q keeps stdout empty, the leading ! inverts grep's natural result (match → bypass ON) into the requested 0=OFF / 1=ON convention, and the [c]laude bracket pattern stops grep from matching its own process, so no grep -v grep is needed.
Report the answer in one sentence ("bypass permissions is ON/OFF"). No other output.
