# Fewer Permission Prompts Look through my transcripts' MCP and bash tool calls, and based on those, make a prioritized list of patterns that I should add to my permission allowlist to reduce permission prompts. Focus on read-only commands. The format for permissions is: `Bash(foo*)`, `Bash(foo)`, `Bash(foo bar *)`, `mcp__slack__slack_read_thread`, etc. Then, add these to the project `.claude/settings.json` under `permissions.allow`. ## Steps 1. **Locate transcripts.** Session transcripts live at `~/.claude/projects/<sanitized-cwd>/*.jsonl`. Each line is a JSON object. Tool calls appear as `assistant` messages with `message.content[]` entries of `type: "tool_use"`. The `name` field identifies the tool (e.g. `"Bash"`, `"mcp__slack__slack_read_thread"`); for Bash, `input.command` is the shell string. Scan the recent transcripts across the user's projects dir — not just the current project — so the allowlist reflects their actual usage. Cap the scan at a reasonable number of recent sessions (e.g. 50 most-recently-modified JSONL files) so this stays fast. 2. **Extract tool-call frequencies.** - For `Bash` calls: parse `input.command`, take the leading command token (handling `sudo`, `timeout`, pipes, `&&`, env-var prefixes). Record the command + first subcommand pair (e.g. `git status`, `gh pr view`, `ls`, `cat`). - For MCP calls: record the full tool name (e.g. `mcp__slack__slack_read_thread`). - Count occurrences across the scanned transcripts. 3. **Filter t...
