New in Claude Code: auto mode. Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf. Safeguards check each action before it runs. [video]

The end state is that you don't “use the computer” like you used to, or do now. The computer will use itself. With time, your use of the computer for work will look more and more like you are playing a strange video game, which will itself be built in large part by computers.

this is the ideal permission UX. you don't want claude to do dangerous stuff, and you don't want to have to think about sandboxes

Before each tool call, a classifier reviews it for potentially destructive actions. Safe actions proceed automatically. Risky ones get blocked, and Claude takes a different approach. This reduces risk but doesn't eliminate it. We recommend using it in isolated environments.

Claude Auto Mode — not sure about you, but i keep claude in —dangerously-skip-permissions 100% of the time — Auto Mode has a classifier to detect potentially destructive actions, so it's not as painful to use non-dangerous mode. Strictly safer! — claude.com/blog/auto-mode
