Claude Code Headless Automation FAQs

Question 1

What does the 'acceptEdits' permission mode do?

What is Claude Code headless mode?

Accepted Answer

Claude Code headless mode is a non-interactive automation setting that allows the CLI to execute tasks from start to finish without seeking approval for every individual file edit or tool use.

How do I integrate Claude Code into my CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

You can use the --output-format json flag along with specific --allowedTools to let Claude perform automated checks and return machine-readable results to your pipeline.

Can I use this skill for automated code reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by using the 'plan' mode or the '--print' flag, you can have Claude analyze code and output a structured report in text or JSON format without modifying your files.

Question 5

Is it safe to use 'bypassPermissions' mode?

Accepted Answer

Bypass mode should only be used in externally sandboxed environments like Docker containers or VMs, as it skips all security prompts for file edits and shell commands.
