DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.116

/mode Command

What

New slash command to display and change the tool permission mode directly from the REPL.

Usage
/mode           # Shows current permission mode
/mode ask       # Switch to ask mode
/mode auto      # Switch to auto-approve mode
Details
  • Lists available modes (excluding bypassPermissions, which must be toggled via shift+tab)
  • Provides clear error messages for unknown modes: Unknown mode "xyz". Usage: /mode <mode>
  • Also works non-interactively for SDK and automation use
  • Attempting to set bypassPermissions returns: "bypassPermissions is not available via /mode. Use the local TUI (shift+tab) instead."

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
