What
The dialog offering to configure auto mode is now titled "Teach auto mode about your environment?" (was "Set up auto mode for your environment?") and its first option is "Yes" (was "Set it up"). "Not now" and "Don't show again" are unchanged. The /auto-mode-setup description and intro screen were cut down: the long paragraph about repos you trust and sensitive data is replaced with a line saying it takes about a minute.
Details
The body explaining that it reads the project, recent sessions and optionally shell history is unchanged.
A new eligibility check requires the envOnboarding config value to be exactly true, so the prompt only appears when that is set.
Evidence
title: "Teach auto mode about your environment?",, Teach auto mode about your environment?, Auto mode works better when it knows your environment. Takes about a minute.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

On native Windows it requires v2.1.233 or later. You can't run it in a [cloud session](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web). It also needs [feature-flag fe…auto-mode-configsee the edit
