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 can propose a session goal; modelProposedGoals lets you always confirm or turn it off.

modelProposedGoals
What

A new tool lets the model propose a goal for the session. The modelProposedGoals setting takes auto (the default when the key is absent), alwaysAsk to route every proposal through an approval dialog, and disabled to turn the tool off. Because the setting affects consent, it is only read from user, policy and command-line settings; project and local settings in the workspace are ignored.

Details
  • The tool refuses to run inside agent contexts, and it can set a goal but never clear one.
Usage
{ "modelProposedGoals": "alwaysAsk" }
Evidence

'alwaysAsk' routes every model-proposed goal through the approval dialog; 'disabled' turns the tool off.

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