Anthropic adds Claude Code environment variable that skips remaining permission checks
Overview
Anthropic added the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_EVEN_MORE_DANGEROUSLY_SKIP_PERMISSIONS in Claude Code v2.1.311, according to IThome.
The variable turns off protections that still block commands such as rm -rf ~. Anthropic engineer Daisy Hollman confirmed the feature is real, though the change was missing from the release changelog.
Users must set the variable manually, and restrictions imposed by organization administrators can still apply.
