We recently made auto mode the default in Claude Code, which means you no longer have to approve every action.
But what determines if something is safe to run? Watch how it works:
- We shipped four updates to Claude Managed Agents this week. First, you can now set a budget for sessions to keep spend predictable. Sessions that hit the limit pause with a budget_reached event, you can raise the budget to resume.
- New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.
- Starting August 14, auto mode will be the default permission mode in Claude Code for Pro, Max, and Team users. Auto mode reviews shell commands and actions with a separate classifier. In testing, it caught 89% of dangerous commands. Manual approval caught 14%.
- Two incidents over the last 24 hours resulted in elevated errors or reduced availability on Claude for some users. Multiple separate network failures cut into our capacity to serve Claude, and some requests failed while we rerouted traffic.
