Auto Mode
Auto mode is the middle ground between approving every tool call and running with --dangerously-skip-permissions. A classifier evaluates each permission prompt and either approves safe operations silently or blocks and surfaces suspicious ones.
Available since v2.1.83 (research preview).
The Three Permission Modes
Cycle with Shift+Tab in the terminal:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
default |
Claude asks for approval on every sensitive action |
auto |
Classifier auto-approves safe actions; blocks/surfaces suspicious ones |
bypassPermissions |
All actions run without prompting (dangerous — only in trusted environments) |
