Claude Code errors / Other

EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/tmp/claude/<path>/tasks'

platform: Claude Code / category: Other / code: EACCES

Cause

Claude Code uses a shared /tmp/claude/ directory owned by the first user who ran it; other users lack write permission to create subdirectories.

Fix

Recreate with world-writable sticky bit: sudo rm -rf /tmp/claude && sudo mkdir -p /tmp/claude && sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/claude. Alternatively set dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true in .claude/settings.json as a temporary workaround.
