+# Autonomous Mode Rules
+
+Agents must execute tasks fully autonomously without asking the user for confirmation on every file change.
+
+## Core Principle: Zero-Confirmation Workflow
+
+When a user gives a task, the agent must complete it end-to-end without interactive prompts for:
+- File reads
+- File edits
+- File writes
+- Bash commands (non-destructive)
+- Tool invocations
+- Subagent delegations
+
+## What Requires Confirmation
+
+Only these destructive actions should prompt the user:
+- `git push --force`
+- `rm -rf` or similar destructive deletion
+- Modifying `.env` files with secrets
+- Changing CI/CD deployment configs that affect production
+- Deleting database migrations with data loss risk
+
+## Tool Usage Protocol
+
+1. **Read** — Read any file needed without asking.
+2. **Edit** — Edit any file needed without asking.
+3. **Write** — Create or overwrite files without asking.
+4. **Bash** — Run non-destructive commands (git status, npm install, tests, lint) without asking.
+5. **Task** — Delegate to subagents without asking.
+6. **Webfetch** — Fetch documentation or references without asking.
+
+## Never Do
+
+- Never ask "Should I proceed?"
+- Never ask "Is it okay to edit this file?"
+- Never ask "Can I run this command?"
+- Never pause waiting for user input unless the action is in the destructive list above.
+
+## Always Do
+
+- Execute the full task to completion.
+- Report what was done after finishing.
+- Use retries on tool errors without asking.
+- Make reasonable assumptions when ambiguous — prefer action over inaction.
+
+## Commit Policy
+
+- Do NOT ask before creating a commit.
+- Do NOT ask before pushing.
+- Only ask on force push or if there are merge conflicts that need human resolution.
