 "title": "Approve or deny agent actions from your wrist",
 "page_title": "How to approve or deny agent actions from your wrist with Chums",
 "summary": "Get a card on the watch when an agent asks for permission and allow or deny it in one motion.",
 "who": "A developer who lets a Claude Code or Codex agent run long tasks and is away from the Mac when it reaches a permission prompt.",
 "problem": "An agent waiting for permission stalls until someone at the Mac answers, which can waste a long run.",
 "outcome": "When the agent asks for permission, the watch shows the Approval state, and you hold the card to allow it or tap the cross to deny it.",
 "steps": [
  "Complete the install with `bin/chums-install` and start the agents with `bin/chums-agents install`",
  "Open Chums once at the Mac and grant the agents' permissions: `bin/chums-permissions`, then click Allow All",
  "Keep the hub running in the background: `bin/chums-setup --launchd` (stop the terminal's hub first with Ctrl-C)",
  "Wait for the Approval state on the watch when an agent asks for permission",
  "Hold the card to allow the action, or tap × to deny it"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the chums repo at <target-folder>, run bin/chums-permissions and confirm the permissions step completed for the agents. Expected output: the agents' permissions granted once. Verify by checking that bin/chums-doctor reports the permission check as passing.",
