     Switch out of plan mode by approving the plan or pressing `Shift+Tab`, then let Claude code, verifying against its plan.
 
-    ```txt title="claude (default mode)" wrap theme={null}

     implement the OAuth flow from your plan. write tests for the
     callback handler, run the test suite and fix any failures.

 ### Configure permissions
 
 <Tip>
-  Use [auto mode](/docs/en/permission-modes#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode) to let a classifier handle approvals, `/permissions` to allowlist specific commands, or `/sandbox` for OS-level isolation. Each reduces interruptions while keeping you in control.
+  To get fewer prompts without giving up control, pre-approve the tools you trust with `/permissions` and let sandboxed commands run without asking with `/sandbox`. Switch to Manual mode when you want to approve edits and commands yourself.
 </Tip>
 
-By default, Claude Code requests permission for actions that might modify your system: file writes, Bash commands, MCP tools, etc. This is safe but tedious. After the tenth approval you're not really reviewing anymore, you're just clicking through. There are three ways to reduce these interruptions:
+On Pro, Max, and Team plans, auto mode is the [built-in starting permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes#eliminate-prompts-with-auto-mode) for interactive terminal and VS Code sessions: a separate classifier model reviews most actions instead of you and blocks only what looks risky, such as scope escalation, unknown infrastructure, or hostile-content-driven actions.
 
-* **Auto mode**: a separate classifier model reviews commands and blocks only what looks risky: scope escalation, unknown infrastructure, or hostile-content-driven actions. Best when you trust the general direction of a task but don't want to click through every step
+In Manual mode, the built-in starting permission mode on other plans, Claude Code asks before actions that might modify your system: file writes, Bash commands, MCP tools. That's safe but tedious. After the tenth approval you're clicking through rather than reviewing. Two tools cut those interruptions in Manual mode and apply in auto mode as well:
+
 * **Permission allowlists**: permit specific tools you know are safe, like `npm run lint` or `git commit`
 * **Sandboxing**: enable OS-level isolation that restricts filesystem and network access, allowing Claude to work more freely within defined boundaries
