Can I resume a session started via the CLI?

Yes, you can use the --continue (-c) or --session-id flags to pick up where a previous headless or interactive session left off.

How do I handle permissions in automated runs?

You can use flags like --permission-mode acceptEdits or --allowedTools to pre-approve specific actions, such as file edits or shell commands, to prevent interactive prompts.

What is headless mode in Claude Code?

Headless mode allows Claude Code to run tasks via the CLI without an interactive interface, using the -p or --print flags, which is ideal for automation and CI/CD scripts.

How do I get machine-readable output from Claude Code?

By using the --output-format json or --output-format stream-json flags, you can receive structured results that are easy to parse with other scripts or tools.

Does this skill work with MCP tools?

Yes, it provides patterns for using the --mcp-config flag to integrate and authorize third-party Model Context Protocol tools within automated workflows.
