once you have built up a trust in a model/harness/setup/workflow and you’ve been hitting enter for months straight then Auto Mode is appealing.

i found initially it would hang on some commands (moreso on subagents and moreso when first rolled out) and then roll past the hung command sometimes forgetting about it entirely. which wasn’t cool.

but after dialing in subagent permissions and probably some updates from anthropic Auto Mode is great. i still don’t always do it. but after reading this article just switched my current 12 panes to Auto.
