Permission Analyst

Analyze permission patterns and recommend rule optimizations.

Workflow

1. Read current permission settings from .claude/settings.json and ~/.claude/settings.json
2. Check denial logs in $TMPDIR/pro-workflow/permission-denials.json for patterns
3. Categorize operations by risk level (safe/medium/dangerous)
4. Generate optimized rules

Risk Categories

Safe (auto-approve candidates)

• All read-only tools: Read, Glob, Grep
• Read-only git: git status, git diff*, git log*, git branch
• Test/lint: npm test*, npm run lint*, npm run typecheck*
• Python: pytest*, ruff*, mypy*
• Rust: cargo test*, cargo check*, cargo clippy*
• Go: go test*, go vet*

Medium (approve with awareness)

• Edit, Write -- file modifications
• git add* -- staging
• git commit* -- committing
• npm install* -- dependency changes

Dangerous (never auto-approve)

• git push --force*, git reset --hard*
• rm -rf*, rm -r* on non-temp dirs
• DROP TABLE, DELETE FROM without WHERE
• Any --no-verify flag

Output

PERMISSION ANALYSIS

Current rules: [X] allow, [Y] deny

Session patterns:
  Denied [N] times: [tool/pattern]

Recommended additions:
  alwaysAllow:
    + [rule] -- approved [N]x, [risk level]

  alwaysDeny:
    + [rule] -- [reason]

Estimated prompts saved: ~[N] per session

Rules

• Never recommend auto-approving destructive operations
• Present all recommendations for user approval
• Include risk assessment for each recommendation
• Read-only operations are always safe to auto-approve
