I Built PermitFlow Because AI Agents Keep Running --dangerously-skip-permissions

The Problem

If you're using AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Code, you've probably seen this:

cursor --dangerously-skip-permissions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Teams skip permissions for speed. But that creates chaos:

  • No audit trail - Who approved what change?
  • No accountability - Did the AI follow team standards?
  • No learning - Same permission questions repeat endlessly

The Solution: PermitFlow

I built PermitFlow to solve this. It's permission governance for AI coding.

Key Features

Permission Requests

  • Team members request permissions for AI actions
  • Clear documentation of intent
  • No more guessing why changes happened

Approval Workflows

  • Multi-level approval chains
  • Role-based permissions
  • Instant notifications

Reusable Templates

  • Common permission patterns saved
  • One-click approvals for standard operations
  • Team learning captured

Audit Logs

  • Every permission tracked
  • Who requested, who approved, when, why
  • Compliance-ready exports

How It Works

  1. Developer requests permission for AI operation
  2. Team lead gets notification
  3. Lead approves/denies with context
  4. Audit trail updated
  5. Template created for future

Pricing

  • Free Tier: For solo developers and small teams
  • Pro ($29/month): Unlimited team members, advanced workflows, priority support

Why This Matters

AI coding assistants are amazing for velocity. But teams need governance, not anarchy.

Every --dangerously-skip-permissions is a risk. PermitFlow turns that risk into a managed process.
