# 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.
