## Permission Modes

Cloud Code provides three permission modes that control how Claude Code performs operations:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Accept Edits" icon="check">
    Claude Code requires your confirmation before modifying files. Suitable for scenarios where cautious operation is needed.

    **Features:**

    * Manual approval is required for every file modification
    * You can preview changes before deciding
    * Suitable for important projects or for learning Claude Code’s behavior
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Full Auto" icon="robot">
    Claude Code can automatically perform all operations. Suitable when you trust the AI to complete tasks independently.

    **Features:**

    * No manual confirmation required; Claude Code executes directly
    * Provides the highest development efficiency
    * Suitable for rapid prototyping and for use after becoming familiar with Claude Code
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Plan Mode" icon="list-check">
    Claude Code first creates a plan and waits for your approval before executing it. Suitable for step-by-step execution of complex tasks.

    **Features:**

    * Claude Code first analyzes the task and creates an execution plan
    * You can review and modify the plan
    * After approval, it executes step by step according to the plan
    * Suitable for developing large features
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
