Anthropic are really confident in Claude Code's auto mode, to the point that they are making it the default setting for new sessions in most Claude Code plans starting on August 14th.

I like auto mode but you need something like “If the auto mode classifier denies your request stop and ask the human, do not attempt to work around it “ in your CLAUDE.md. Without it it has a tendency to try rather creative solutions to work around the denial, which kind of misses the point.
