The linked Claude generated script for giving more control over permissions in tool use is… typically Claude.

The code interleaves rules and control flow, drops side effects like “exit” in functions and hinges on a stack of regex for parsing bash.

This isn’t something I’ve attempted before but it looks like a library like bashlex would give you a much cleaner and safer starting point.

For a “throwaway” script like this maybe it’s fine, but this is typical of the sort of thing I’m seeing spurted out and I’m fascinated to see what people’s codebases look like these days.

Don’t get me wrong, I use CC every day, but man, you do need to fight it to get something clean and terse.
