Anthropic built an auto mode for Claude Code using classifiers to automate permission decisions, addressing the fact that users approve 93% of prompts. The design balances safety against sandboxing, manual prompts, and unsafe permission bypass, informed by an internal log of agentic misbehavior incidents.

First-party engineering write-up of a permission-classifier design for a coding agent, backed by real incident data. Useful for anyone configuring agentic workflows where approval fatigue is a concern.
