CLI flags Customize Claude Codes behavior with these command-line flags: Flag Description Example --add-dir Add additional working directories for Claude to access (validates each path exists as a directory) claude --add-dir ../apps ../lib --allowedTools A list of tools that should be allowed without prompting the user for permission, in addition to settings.json files \"Bash(git log:*)\" \"Bash(git diff:*)\" \"Write\" --disallowedTools A list of tools that should be disallowed without prompting the user for permission, in addition to settings.json files \"Bash(git log:*)\" \"Bash(git diff:*)\" \"Write\" --print , -p Print response without interactive mode (see SDK documentation for programmatic usage details) claude -p \"query\" --output-format Specify output format for print mode (options: text , json , stream-json ) claude -p \"query\" --output-format json --input-format Specify input format for print mode (options: text , stream-json ) claude -p --output-format json --input-format stream-json --verbose Enable verbose logging, shows full turn-by-turn output (helpful for debugging in both print and interactive modes) claude --verbose --max-turns Limit the number of agentic turns in non-interactive mode claude -p --max-turns 3 \"query\" --model Sets the model for the current session with an alias for the latest model ( sonnet or opus ) or a models full name claude --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 --permission-prompt-tool Specify an MCP tool to handle permission prompts in non-interactive mode claude -p --permission-prompt-tool mcp_auth_tool \"query\" --resume Resume a specific session by ID, or by choosing in interactive mode claude --resume abc123 \"query\" --continue Load the most recent conversation in the current directory claude --continue --dangerously-skip-permissions Skip permission prompts (use with caution) claude --dangerously-skip-permissions The --output-format json flag is particularly useful for scripting and automation, allowing you to parse Claudes responses programmatically.
