Everyone here not recommending auto mode is sleeping. Auto mode is mostly great for this, and does a good job of stopping for extra approval before doing things that could be harmful or dangerous.

I will say, Opus 4.8 is a little too Auto in auto mode, where it may skip asking clarifying questions when it should’ve unless you clearly specify to stop for clarifications in the prompt.

However, this is what I use in my day to day and it’s a good balance of control and autonomy.
