What

Auto mode lets Claude act without asking you each time, guided by rules. Claude Code now has a description for each kind of rule:

  • allow
  • soft_deny
  • hard_deny, described as actions auto mode always blocks, which soft allow rules cannot override
  • environment, described as facts about this machine or project that auto mode should take into account
Why

The descriptions spell out how a hard deny differs from a soft deny.
