Auto mode in Claude Code: run tasks and take a break

You can now run tasks in Claude Code and not worry about safety.

<p>⚡️ Anthropic has added auto mode to Claude Code - now you can start a task and go have a coffee.</p>

<p>The problem was simple: by default, Claude Code asks for permission for every file write and every bash command. It's safe, but you can't leave it on a long task unattended. The alternative is the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, which disables all checks entirely. Auto mode is a middle ground between the two extremes.</p>

<p>How it works: before each action, a separate classifier (on Claude Sonnet 4.6) checks whether the agent is doing something destructive - mass file deletions, attempts to extract data, executing suspicious code. Safe actions are executed automatically, while dangerous ones are blocked. Signs of prompt injection are also checked separately - when malicious instructions are hidden in the processed content.</p>

<p>Available now as a research preview on the Team plan, and will soon be available for Enterprise and API.</p>
