I mean it would be nice if the Claude and Codex CLIs had a setting to default to plan mode, every now and then I’m trying to put together a plan, only to realize that it’s not in plan mode and already making changes.

You should not, under any circumstances, let an LLM touch the Terraform CLI. It's completely irresponsible to give an error-prone system like an LLM that kind of access.

This is what I can't get over - who in their right mind would _ever_ give an agent enough access to delete prod data?

Someone who should be immediately fired.

This is the purpose of sandbox environments.

What about

  ~/.claude/settings.json
  {"permissions": {"defaultMode": "plan"}}

[sobjornstad]

Claude at least does: add "permissions": { "defaultMode: "plan" } to your settings.json.

I'll note this only applies to new sessions though – if you do /clear and start working on something else it doesn't re-apply plan mode (I kind of wish it did)
