17
+ **auto-mode** is a permission classifier that runs as a hook. It decides whether a coding agent's
18
+ next action should run.
19
+
20
+ Claude Code's built-in auto mode judges actions only for Claude. Point Claude Code at another model
21
+ through an Anthropic-compatible gateway — GLM, Kimi, Muse Spark — and that judging stops. Every
22
+ shell command, file write, and push needs your approval again.
23
+
24
+ auto-mode replaces it. The harness calls it before a tool runs, hands it the pending call, and reads
25
+ back allow, deny, or nothing. It works in Claude Code, Codex, and Muse Code, and behaves the same
26
+ whichever model drives them.

53
+ 1. **Local rules.** Deterministic matching, no network call, under a millisecond. Answers allow or
54
+ escalate, never deny. Reads, listings, `git status`, and deleting build output are settled here
55
+ and never reach the model.
56
+ 2. **The model.** Everything else goes to a small reasoning model with the policy as its system
57
+ prompt. A hard case takes 13 to 24 seconds.
61
58
 
62
- Three presets: `spark` (the default), `claude`, `glm`. Each names a base URL, a
63
- model, a key source, and the three settings that move together — whether the
64
- model reasons, its token budget, and its timeout.
59
+ Tier one never denies because the two errors cost differently. A wrong allow costs one unwatched
60
+ action. A wrong deny stops work you asked for, and the rules that deny are prose that needs a
61
+ reader.
65

66
- | Key | Default | Meaning |
67
- |---|---|---|
68
- | `preset` | `spark` | Which provider to start from |
69
- | `provider.*` | from the preset | Override any single field |
70
- | `classifierPath`, `rulesPath` | the shipped files | Use your own policy |
71
- | `transcriptEntries` | `40` | How much history the model sees |
72
- | `onFailure` | `defer` | `defer` writes nothing; `deny` fails closed |
63
+ ## The policy
73
64
 
74
- **Muse Spark is the default** because it reasons, it was correct on every case
75
- measured, and a contributor-tier call costs roughly a fortieth of the
76
- alternatives. Its token budget is a floor, not a preference: below it, Spark
77
- returns nothing at all.
65
+ Two files. Both are sent to the model verbatim, and neither addresses you.
78
66
 
79
- The key comes from `provider.apiKeyEnv` first, then from `provider.apiKeyCommand`
80
- if that is unset. Muse runs hooks with a scrubbed environment, so under Muse the
81
- command is the only one that works.

83
- ## Writing nothing is an answer
72
+ `classifier.md` carries a `<rules>` marker on its own line. At run time auto-mode replaces it with
73
+ the whole of `rules.md`. `auto-mode print-prompt` writes the result, which is what the model reads.
84
74
 
85
- It means auto-mode has no opinion, and the harness then does what it would have
86
- done alone. That is the output for an unknown harness, an event that is not a
87
- tool gate, malformed input, a missing key, and a model that times out. So this
88
- can only turn an ask into an allow or a deny — it never removes a gate that was
89
- already there.
75
+ Rules come in two tiers. A **hard block** takes no consent, because it creates a risk you cannot see
76
+ from inside the session. A **soft block** clears when you named the action and the detail that makes
77
+ it dangerous — "force push this branch", not "tidy up the repo". Seven exceptions cover work that
78
+ resembles a blocked action and is not: deleting `node_modules`, running a formatter, dropping a
79
+ local test database.
90
80
 
91
- Set `onFailure` to `deny` if you would rather fail closed.
81
+ Read [`policy/rules.md`](./policy/rules.md) before turning this on. To change a rule, edit it;
82
+ `rulesPath` points at your own file and replaces the shipped one whole.

  ## Harnesses
94
85
 
95
- Claude Code, Codex, and Muse Code. The verdict contract is the same for all
96
- three, and all three were verified end to end: the hook denied a real tool call
97
- and each harness stopped it.
98
-
99
- They differ in how the hook is registered, and each difference makes the hook
100
- silently not run if you get it wrong. `auto-mode init` prints these.
86
+ All three were verified end to end: the hook denied a real tool call and the harness stopped it.
101
87
 
102
- | Harness | Match every tool | Also needed |
103
- |---|---|---|
104
- | Claude | `"matcher": ".*"` | — |
105
- | Codex | omit `matcher` | `hooks = true`, and trust the hook once |
106
- | Muse | `"matcher": ""` | no `timeout_ms` key |
88
+ | Harness | Match every tool | Also needed |
89
+ | ----------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------- |
90
+ | Claude Code | `"matcher": ".*"` | — |
91
+ | Codex | omit `matcher` | `hooks = true`, and trust the hook once |
92
+ | Muse Code | `"matcher": ""` | no `timeout_ms` key |
107
93
 
108
- Three traps worth naming:
94
+ Each difference stops the hook running if you get it wrong, and none of them reports an error.
95
+ `init` prints the right one. Details in [Harnesses](./docs/guides/harnesses.md).
109
96
 
110
- - Claude matches tool names against a **regular expression**. `"*"` is not valid
111
- regex and `""` matches only a tool named empty; both leave the hook installed
112
- and never firing. Muse reads `""` as every tool, so the same value means
113
- opposite things in the two harnesses.
114
- - Codex will not run an **untrusted** hook. It is skipped silently until you
115
- trust it once; the answer is recorded under `[hooks.state]` in `config.toml`.
116
- - Muse **rejects a handler carrying `timeout_ms`**, reporting an unknown field
117
- and skipping the whole handler.
118
-
119
- Detection order matters too. Muse is identified by `model_provider`, which the
120
- others do not send. Claude sends `prompt_id`. Codex sends `turn_id` — and so
121
- does Muse, so Muse has to be tested first.
97
+ ## Writing nothing is an answer
122
98
 
123
- ## What this cannot do
99
+ It means auto-mode has no opinion, and the harness does what it would have done alone. That is the
100
+ output for an unknown harness, an event that is not a tool gate, malformed input, a missing key, and
101
+ a model that times out.
124
102
 
125
- - **A hook that cannot start fails open.** If the command is missing or crashes,
126
- the harness logs it and carries on. `onFailure: "deny"` cannot help, because
127
- the process never runs.
128
- - **It can only narrow what the harness already allows.** A tool your own
129
- permission settings deny is refused before the hook sees it.
130
- - **The agent's own judgement comes first.** A model that refuses to issue a
131
- command means the hook is never consulted for it.
103
+ auto-mode can therefore only narrow what your harness already allows. It never removes a gate that
104
+ was there. Set `onFailure` to `deny` to fail closed instead.
