yes-claudio 0.1.6

Auto-approve Claude Code permission prompts with a denylist and daily limits

yes-claudio

Auto-approve Claude Code permission prompts — with a denylist and daily limits.

Quick start

Free (20 approvals/day):

• macOS / Linux (recommended — pip install is blocked on Homebrew Python by PEP 668):

  uv tool install yes-claudio && yes-claudio start
  

  Don't have uv? Install it with curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh (or brew install uv). See Installation for details.

• Windows:

  pip install yes-claudio && yes-claudio start
  

yes-claudio start registers the hook, opens the tray + panel, and asks whether to launch yes-claudio at login. It returns to the prompt; use yes-claudio stop to quit the tray. Power users can run yes-claudio app instead — same tray, no setup prompts.

Unlimited: buy at bravoevert.gumroad.com/l/yes-claudio, then either:

• right-click the tray icon → Ativar Licença... → paste the serial, or
• run yes-claudio activate YOUR-SERIAL-KEY.

How it works

yes-claudio installs a PreToolUse hook in ~/.claude/settings.json. Every time Claude Code would show you a permission prompt, the hook intercepts it and returns allow — unless the command matches the denylist, in which case it returns ask (the prompt appears normally).

Tier	Daily limit	Price
Free	20 approvals/day	$0
Paid	Unlimited	$2 one-time

The GUI shows a tray icon (green = active, orange = daily limit reached, grey = inactive) and a panel with your approval count and license status.

Installation

Requirements:

• Python 3.11+
• macOS: brew install python-tk@3.14 (tkinter is not bundled with Homebrew Python)
• Linux: distro-provided python3-tk package if your Python doesn't ship tkinter
• Windows: no extra dependencies

No Homebrew on macOS? Install it from brew.sh (one-liner on the homepage), or use the Astral curl installer for uv (alternative to brew) and skip Homebrew entirely.

macOS / Linux

Homebrew Python (and most modern distros) marks the system interpreter as "externally managed" (PEP 668), so pip install yes-claudio is blocked. Install in an isolated tool environment instead:

uv (recommended):

# install uv once:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# or: brew install uv

uv tool install yes-claudio

pipx (alternative):

# install pipx once:
brew install pipx        # macOS
# or: sudo apt install pipx   # Debian/Ubuntu

pipx install yes-claudio

Windows

pip install yes-claudio

Usage

Start the app (tray + panel)

yes-claudio start                # full setup: hook + tray + panel + asks about login auto-start
yes-claudio start --no-autostart # skip the login auto-start prompt
yes-claudio start --yes          # answer "yes" to login auto-start (for automation)
yes-claudio app                  # just the tray (no setup prompts)
yes-claudio stop                 # quits the tray
yes-claudio app -f               # foreground mode (debug; blocks the terminal)

Open panel only

yes-claudio panel

Activate a license key

yes-claudio activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

The hook is registered automatically by yes-claudio start. To toggle it later, use the panel ("Auto-sim ativo") or the tray menu.

Denylist — what's always blocked

These patterns are always sent back to you for review (ask), regardless of tier:

Pattern	Reason
rm -rf	Recursive deletion
git push --force / git push -f	Force push
git reset --hard	Discards uncommitted changes
DROP TABLE / DROP DATABASE / TRUNCATE	Destructive SQL
sudo	Privilege escalation
dd	Low-level disk write
mkfs / fdisk / parted	Disk partitioning
chmod 777 /etc	System-wide permission change
curl | bash / wget | bash	Remote code execution
shred	Secure file deletion
shutdown / reboot / halt	System power commands
/etc/, /usr/, /bin/, /sbin/	System paths

You can add custom patterns via the "Editar Denylist" button in the panel (supports regex or simple wildcards with * and ?).

Manual configuration (no GUI)

yes-claudio writes this entry to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "yes-claudio hook",
            "timeout": 10,
            "_tag": "autoconfirm-hook"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

To disable, remove the entry above or uncheck "Auto-sim ativo" in the panel.

---

Uninstall

To remove all traces of yes-claudio:

yes-claudio uninstall

This removes:

• The hook entry from ~/.claude/settings.json
• ~/.config/autoconfirm/ (approvals log, license token, custom denylist)
• The package itself (via uv tool uninstall or pip uninstall)

Use --yes / -y to skip the confirmation prompt (useful in scripts).

You can also uninstall from the panel GUI via the red "Desinstalar yes-claudio" button at the bottom.

FAQ

How do I know it's active? Green tray icon in the menu bar. You can also run yes-claudio hook manually and pipe JSON to it — it should return {"hookSpecificOutput": {"hookEventName": "PreToolUse", "permissionDecision": "allow", ...}}.

What happens when I hit the daily limit? The hook returns ask — Claude Code shows the normal permission prompt. The panel banner turns orange and displays an upgrade link.

Is it safe? Dangerous commands (see denylist above) are always escalated to you. The hook is fail-safe: any internal error returns ask, so Claude Code never auto-approves silently on a crash.

Can I use it on multiple machines? Yes — up to 2 activations per serial. To move to a new machine, contact support to reset.

Does it work with --dangerously-skip-permissions? No — yes-claudio detects that mode and steps aside. That mode already bypasses prompts; there's nothing to approve.

Where is data stored?

• ~/.config/autoconfirm/data.json — daily counts and approval log
• ~/.config/autoconfirm/license.json — license token (local, no server)
• ~/.config/autoconfirm/machine_id.txt — stable per-machine ID for license binding
• ~/.config/autoconfirm/denylist.json — custom patterns
