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.
