Source Intelligence

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.

Useful4 Signal3
Permissions Notable

The schema now documents all six permission modes, including auto and dontAsk.

autodontAsk
What

The permission-mode field is now a described enum listing all six modes, so SDK and tooling that read the schema see what each does: auto uses a model classifier to approve or deny permission prompts, and dontAsk never prompts and denies anything not pre-approved.

Evidence

'auto' - Use a model classifier to approve/deny permission prompts.

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