Auto mode on the Pro planCLI
Auto mode is now available on the Pro plan and supports Sonnet 4.6 alongside Opus. It replaces permission prompts with background safety checks: routine actions run without interrupting you, and destructive or suspicious ones are blocked and surfaced.
Update Claude Code, then cycle modes with Shift+Tab; auto mode appears in the cycle once your account meets the requirements:
terminal
The command prints Successfully updated with the new version number, or Claude Code is up to date if no update is needed. Once auto mode is active, the prompt footer shows auto mode on.
