## Shell access (issue #98)

Several skills (analyze, asciinema-analyzer, asciinema-cast-format,
asciinema-converter, asciinema-player, plus the daemon/recorder helpers) declare
broad `Bash` in `allowed-tools` — **by design**. These are local
recording/conversion tools that invoke `asciinema`, `agg`, `ffmpeg`, ripgrep, and
other varied commands, so a scoped `Bash(cmd:*)` allowlist would be brittle and
high-maintenance. Note that `allowed-tools` gates _capability_, not auto-approval:
every command still goes through the normal Claude Code permission prompts unless
the operator has explicitly allowlisted it in settings. An external scanner
flagged this as "unrestricted shell approval" (#98); it is intentional, not a
defect.
